I just cant find out about this. I have a hexblade that i play, but i thought she could multi class once she is paragon path, but i found out you can multiclass right off the gate. Honestly the only skill i am really looking forward too is shadow step. If i muticlass her as an assassin what do i get and how would i get shadow step?

If it helps i have an Infernal Pact Hexblade and it would play toward her character to be as strong (and evil) as the infernal pact allows, but also she has the ability to teleport as well (in and out of battle...she currently has ethral stride atm)

You take the Assassin MC feat like you would any other class that allows you to MC. It only gives you 2 shrouds per encounter and training in stealth, IIRC. I don't think there is a way to get shadow step through multiclassing.

Acolyte of the Veil (D382) is an o-assassin MC allows you to use Shadow Step as an encounter power. There's no way to gain the o-assassin's Shadow Step at-will version in particular without actually being an o-assassin.

I don't know about Shadow Step, but after multiclassing you can take the Cursed Shadow feat to gain Warlock's Shadow Walk feature.  Also, Warlocks get an at-will utility teleport called Ethereal Sidestep at level 10, which can be boosted to become extremely useful.

Um...all i see under Warlock lvl 10 utility is "Warlock Leap" which is a daily.

Also damn...so what skills can i get through multiclassing that will let me teleport more often? if any at all?

Ethereal Sidestep is an At-will teleport 1 as a move action, level 10.

Ethereal Sidestep is pretty much as good as it gets for most levels, and it can be improved with things like Incisive Daggers, Eladrin Chainmail Armor, and Eladrin Rings of Passage.  It's actually better than Shadow Step because you don't have to end the teleport adjacent to an enemy, so you can use it to get out of sticky situations and the like.

None.

Terminology adjustment: you're talking about taking a feat (specifically a multiclass feat) to get a power which will allow you to teleport. Skills are something else entirely.

There are some utility powers called "skill powers" which depend on you being trained in a certain skill, rather than being of a certain class. However, apparently none of those powers are about teleporting. So there are no skills that help you teleport.

(That said, for many characters Stealth is a good companion skill to go with teleporting. It doesn't make you teleport further or more often, it just makes it easier to Hide afterward. Acrobatics is a more situational companion skill, useful if you need to go down a 10-square cliff with a 5-square teleport...)
 
Offhand, I know that Swordmages, Assassins (at least the original ones, don't know about the Executioner), and some Warlocks teleport a lot.

Eladrin (race) get an encounter-power teleport regardless of class, and in Paragon tier that plus an Eladrin/Fighter feat (to make it sort-of-at-will) is the basis for an entire family of builds known collectively as "Feycharger" - warning, many older builds in that family were overpowered and were ruined by one of the most elegant updates WotC has done to date; most of the ruined builds included the Swordmage class, and now there's no real advantage to including that class.

Plus there are two build families called "Bard Taxi" and "Eladrin Taxi" for their ability to teleport the entire party.

Unfortunately for you, you have inherited a condition from your mother known as Primary Protagonist Syndrome, which means The Story is interested in you. It will find you, and if you are not ready for the narrative strands it will throw at you..." - from Footloose
