Heya.

I'm kinda going down 6 Rogue - Assassin / 6 Monk - Way of Shadow with Astarion.

By sacrificing 2d6 sneak attack damage, 1x feat and Infiltration Expertise you gain:

Ki-Empowered Strikes - Your unarmed attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming enemies' Resistance and Immunity to non-magical damage.
Improved Unarmoured Movement - Your movement speed increases by 4.5m while you are not wearing armour or using a shield.
Stunning Strike (Unarmed) - Possibly Stuns the target.
Stunning Strike (Melee) - Possibly Stuns the target.
Slow Fall - When you fall, you can use your reaction to gain Resistance to Falling damage.
Shadow Step - Teleport from shadow to shadow. Afterwards, you have Advantage on your next melee Attack Roll.
Cloak of Shadows - Wrap yourself in shadows to become Invisible if you are obscured
Extra Feat & Extra Attack

The thing is that you will not be wearing any armor and you'll only use one one-handed finesse weapon to get sneak attacks in. You can compliment your lets say rapier 1d8+dex modifier damage with 2x 1d6 + dex modifier magical unarmored strikes which are pretty good compered to a single attack with a 1d6 shortsword or 1d4 dagger.

Also I like this path thematically thinking about assassin jumping from shadows to shadows silently finding and executing his marks only to vanish into the night without ever been seen.

I managed to silently take out very many gobos in one village without anyone noticing that some foul play was going on with Astarion level 3 Assassin / 1 Monk. :D
