[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5432009, member: 42582"] Danny, in my current campaign there is a Drow Chaos Sorcerer who is very heavily stealth-based: he uses racial Cloak of Darkness to get two rounds of CA, is a multi-class Cutthroat (from Dragon and the 2009(?) Dragon annual hardback) which gives him training in Stealth and lets him bluff for a stealth check (and hence CA) as a minor action, and has other stealth/CA-based elements to his build as well. Even without the Thief powers he still very much has the feel of a PC who uses stealth to kill - the +2 to hit from CA is noticeable, and I think he might also be looking at a feat that gives him a bonus to damage with CA (Sorcerous Assassin, I think). Until this PC I hadn't really thought of a sorcerer as a stealth-bot, but it has opened my eyes somewhat . . . (so to speak). So I'd be surprised if there isn't some way to get your illusionist-assassin to work - assuming that you care to.
