Go throwing and melee hybird build.  Throw shurikans and knives at people's faces. Use a katana as your primary weapon for close range combat. Wear light clothes that are preferably dark colour and have lots of points into athletics. There you go, an assassin.

most medieval/fantasy assassins from the books i read use crossbows, and long knives/short swords. with the goal being to bury those big nasty bolts for the crossbow into them.

that said, hvy crossbow, and the espanda both work for gear keep it rather light, 12 str and 1 IF isnt going to give you a ton of HP, so arm wont help you. Id stick with the black hood with mask, leather vest, leather gloves (you can go to mail gaunts if you want more armor) and turkish shoes or khergit black leather boots.. goes very well together. In all honestly armor really comes down to personal preference, but id still keep it rather light, think of the armor archers wear.. that sort fo stuff.

Arbalest is the way. As for melee weapon, a mace is good. It's 2h, it has knockdown so with any luck after first hit they'll be on the floor and you can pummel away, and it's oneslot. Heavy crossbow is a bit shit since it's two slots, but doesn't have the damage to onehit anyone except maybe a peasant. Unless it's a headshot, anyway.

Or espada, with it's 30p it's got a good shot at one-hit if you do it in the head.

My fav 2 are

12/30 6ath 10mw Heavy Cross Bow - William Tell
12/30 10ath 4PS 2MW less than 3kg of Armour and a short fast in your face 1h, Nordic Short Sword, Italian Falcion, Scottish Sword.

+1 for the Arb being an over rated stink poo.

I was going 10-0 on siege with this build the other day with 280 ping

If you want to be light on your feet, i suggest a body piece under 3 - 5 weight.
