This build has very low AB, but against tough low AC mobs it can outdamage most other DPS builds due to the amount of unblockable damage it does.
There is very little room for customisation with this build. Swapping even 2 STR for 2 CHA causes a significant drop in damage, and other Monk/Pal/Ass level spreads also result in lower damage. The only feat that can be changed in this build is Improved Sneak Attack IV at level 39, which can be swapped for Blind Fight or Toughness.
You MUST have 8 Hide and 8 Move Silently at level 9 in order to become an Assassin.
You will also need an alignment change from Lawful Good to Lawful Evil.
After this you will have 144 skill points to spend by level 40.
I recommend 11 Lore (resulting in 10 Lore after adding your INT modifier), 40 Tumble, 26 UMD, and 1 point in all of the skills which require training to use.
With +12 STR, +12 CON, +12 CHA, +20 Kamas, and +6 AC items, it will have the following:
AB: 26 (BAB) + 15 (STR) + 4 (feats) + 20 (AB bonus) - 2 (dual-wielding) = +63 (+61 with Flurry)
AC: 10 (base) + 3 (DEX) + 8 (Tumble) + 24 (AC bonus) + 4 (haste) = 49
HP: 272 (base) + 240 (CON) = 512 (552 with Toughness)
Fortitude: 22 (base) + 6 (CON) + 9 (CHA) = 37
Reflex: 23 (base) + 3 (DEX) + 9 (CHA) = 35
Will: 19 (base) - 1 (WIS) + 9 (CHA) = 27
