Okay, so I just started a new game, and I want a stealth-heavy class. So i started with this.

Race: Human
Class: Rogue(1)/Ranger(2)
Stats:
Str:16
Dex:16
Con:12
Int:14
Wis:8
Cha:8

I want the class to turn out to be:
Rogue(5)/Ranger(6)/Assassin(9)

I think this will be good, because the favored enemy:undead will help make up for the no sneak attacks, and the two-weapon fighting with strength will help a lot for damage. I want help on my feat selection, and any other advice will help. Thanks

One thing comes to mind. Assassins don't get epic levels in MotB (a shame), just access to Epic Death Attack feats that increase your Death Attack's DC. That limits their potential a little, but you still need to increase to class level 10 in order to gain access to those epic feats. If you don't plan on taking those feats (or increasing your Assassin to class level 10 past character level 20), note that your Int is mediocre. Not bad, just.. probably not enough if you don't increase the DC with Epic Death Attack feats in MotB.

If you don't plan on playing MotB with this build, your DC of just over 20 might be ok. Don't take my word for that though. You'll get the last modifiers at a late stage in the game. Then it's mostly undead and powerful characters anyway.

The total DC of a death attack is DC 10 + the assassin’s class level + the assassin’s Int modifier, by the way. The opponent must make a fortitude save against that.
