2 Questions about the Assassin.
When i have a rogue/assassin, and a do a sneak attack, will i do the rogues sneakattack AND the assassins deathattack, or the one with the highest level.

Second question is about coating weapons with poison, how can i do that?

Thanks

They should stack yes.

As for the poison - well, I would imagine it works like the fire/acid thingys you can coat your weapons in also.
So having it in inventory - right click it and select use. Then it should change to a target cursor which you can use to press the weapon you wish to coat.

Thanks,
final questions, do you think a rogue/assassin will be able to finish SoU and HotU? Or are to many creatures imune to backstab?

There are many creatures later in the games that are immune to backstab/critical strikes. But it should not pose much of a problem - especially if you have henchmens for thoese fights.
Rogues have a lot of abilities, and once they get to higher levels they should be able to survive quite good, especially utilizing some different tactics for the harder fights.

I've just started a rogue in NwN that I plan on soloing through as much of the game as possible, so could possible give some advice later if it is needed. He, however, is "good" so I will not take assassin levels. (only other rogueish character I've played was a figther/rogue my first time through NwN).

Every character and combination can finish the game(s) - it is just a matter of what tactics that are used.

Just checked sneak and death attack DO stack for damage.
But DONOT stack when it comes to feats (for the availability of improved sneakattack you need either 8d6 sneak- OR 8d6 deathattack)
