| | | You bump 7 minutes later?!
The Assassin is the backstabber no 1 in BG2. He'll only be as good in Hide in Shadows and Move Silently as you make him (and he gets less thief points to spend than the other kits), but his backstabber multiplier goes higher than for everybody else. Then he can use poison as well. See the class information on Gamebanshee for more info.
The Stalker is nice as well if you like backstabbing (a Ranger kit).
Do Renald's quests for some early good equipement. |

(Shortswords, long sowrds, katana's, stafes, clubs etc....)
If you mean for roleplaying, i would suggest dagers or shortswords

| | Of course, if he/she was Baasie he/she'd hardly admit to it, would he/she? 
Daggers are, IMHO, the best thief weapons from a role-playing point of view.

| | @ Ode; maybe I'm Baassie and I'm trying to cover myself But I'd never admit that...or would I? etc etc
Daggers for assassins...all the thief weapons are pretty good from a role playing perspective (IMO) except maybe staves? |

| | I'm partial to a club, but that's because I have a dual-classed Cleric/Thief. I just love the things you can do with these guys (Draw Upon Holy Might/Champion's Strength for backstabbing; at high level: Hide in Shadows, walk into a group of fledgling Vampires, Turn Undead: instant kills; Blade Barrier, Hide in Shadows, walk into a group of baddies who fail their saves without knowing what hit them;... )
