Haven't played NWN for more than a year until one of my friends started playing it.

Thinking of creating a new assassin type character. High dex, high sneak attack damange, and ability to encounter the undead.

I went on bioware and checked out on the rougue archer character(fighter6/rougue33/shadowdancer). It fits my taste pretty well except that it's too vulnerable against bosses and undead. So based on that character I want to make a few changes:

Rougue--level up until having acquired the stats and feats required for blackguard.
Blackguard--level up until epic character, take the epic summon fiendish servant feat.
shadowdancer

The rest of the levels--level up with rougue.

Having tried all that out, I discovered that my new character deals even fewer damage in normal combat than the rougue archer on bioware's site. My character also attacks fewer times per round(3 as opposed to 4). But all others remain the same , PLUS: turn undead, smite good, divine shield, divine might, and a good fiendish servant.

race: halfling,
starting stats:
str: 13
dex: 18
con: 14
int:10
wis:8
cha:14

Any comments, suggestions?

Your build looks okay, I think. Fewer attacks per round is a drag though, but I'm not really sure how to get 4 when you're going blackguard instead of fighter. Your stats are fine, at least.
Have you considered picking elf as race instead of halfling?

By the way, I think you'll fail to turn the higher level undeads anyway, and with just 14 charisma your divine shield and divine might won't have the best duration ever. (My memory is pretty crappy when it comes to NWN so I won't say anything for sure.)
