Is an assisan a bad choice of a main char?



The Assassin is a very cool class. It's tough to play in the beginning -- I recommend you take Imoen with you through the first dungeon -- but the skill-point resource is so limited that you enjoy leveling up even to very high levels.

Your weapon selection is fine, but in my experience Long Swords are the best backstabbing weapon early, and either Scimitars or Katanas are the best later on.

Poisoned Throwing Daggers are good, as are Darts of Wounding, but neither are as good as Arrows of Biting: so short bow is a very good choice.

Single Weapon Style is awesome. Double Critical Hits means more critical hits when you backstab -- there's no better feeling than seeing both at the same time
