Well, the assassin is a little different from the other thiefs in that he has very few points to spend. For an assassin the hiding game is part of his/her strength, which means you won't be very good at picking locks AND setting traps. Just go for the hide and spend the rest on whatever you feel like, one or the other. Then pick someone with some thiefing skills (anyone from Yoshimo to Nalia) to make sure you can handle every situation. The thing to keep in mind is that the strength of assassins is in combat, not in picking locks or finding traps (though Set Traps would be rather appropriate)
