Theives are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have so many advantages. When i started a new game my theif did 44 damage with a backstab! with a good theif you dont need to worry about paying for items at shops because you steal them. Pickpocketing.I think Assassins are the best kit class.

from apollo

My assassin did 266 damage lastly ;)

They`re not the best. There are many much better classes. Take a Sorcerer for example. [img]smile.gif[/img]

no, elvin archers. a fighter afar. with low leval priest spells.
lots of health and cool arrows.
so SHIZZAM i win

You had to start that again...As SixOfSpades likes to say, the best class is the one you enjoy the most [img]smile.gif[/img] Btw, iirc, a Kensai/Thief can do ~360 with ToB ITEM SPOILER

the Staff of the Ram (backstabbing).

The highest achievable legal backstab in SoA-ToB is 532 damage. You will need a ToB NPC and a ToB item though.

ADD] The highest a Kensai->Thief can backstab is 408 damage.

An Assassin->Fighter however, trashes the K->T with 462 damage.

Dundee...you meant S. using Backstab with his D.A.? lol

I'm going to use an Assassin/Fighter in my next game. I have a new-found love for crossbows, so the Poison Weapon skill should come in very handy...especially with Bolts of Biting :-D

a little off topic - (although its a fairly rambly topic so far [img]smile.gif[/img] - for some reasone that simple sentence - gave me a really nice character idea - a sort of gentleman thief kind of assassin - a bit like the assassins in the diskworld books maybe . . . very concerned with appearance and the company he keeps . . . a little dismissive . . . i see the blade of roses . . . i see being embarassed by minsc and disgusted by dwarves . . .

thanks for that

Um, glad to be of service?
