and could someone tell me a good strategy for backstabbing since most of the time i just fight head on?
What an Assassin sacrifices in thieving skills, he/she makes it up for with combat skills. I have also noticed one thing.

You have failed to mention the Assassin's Poison Weapon ability.

Using a Tuigan Bow, an Assassin can inflict mortal harm on your enemies, because there is no save against the poison save immunity. This is when you prefer to go brawling head-on, and not use the subtle method of backstabbing.

Also, reconsider using a Thief as your main character if your playing style is one of brash melee. Using a Thief effectively requires patience, unless you just use him/her as a Trap-layer.

To Dual-class, you need to be Human. You need 15 DEX since you are a Thief-class, and 17 in the main stat of your secondary class. 17 STR for example, if you want to dual to a Fighter.
