If we're talking about a character build to thwart an assassination, we're assuming the player knows the assassin is coming as early as level 1, right?
Gnome Ranger, with the assassin's race as his first favored enemy. Make Wisdom your primary stat and have max ranks in Perception. Gnomes get a bonus to Perception, and Rangers get bonuses to Perception checks to find favored enemies, and while in their favored terrain. If the Ranger never leaves his favored terrain, he'll be incredibly hard for the assassin to even find in the first place, and sneaking up on the ranger will be even harder.
I'm surprised this thread suddenly came back to life...
