My lvl 11 assasin has a base thaco of 15 and with the daystar its 12. Is that good? He misses alot when backstabbing. Can someone give me any suggestions on how to give my assasin a better thaco?

What's his strength? Is he specialized in long swords? Thieves have a lower thaco than fighters.

Is he proficient in longswds?
Try giving him:

Better strength helps a lot
Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise
Better lonswords (ie +3)
dual classed from Fighter?
use another weapon with a greater enchantment... in BG2 longswd goes upto +3 but staffs go up to +4 and so do shortswds.

Yeah hes profficient in long swords. For some reason Renal didnt give me a short sword of backstabbing when i told him i killed maevar.

Try building up his strength. Strength can add some huge bonuses to THACO. Give him a girdle, or that one long sword. (I don't remember the name.) There's a long sword that makes strenth 22.

Yeah im pissed. Its a short sword +3 which isnt bad early in the game. I tried pick pocketing Renal but all i got was some invisible potions and some usless rings.

That sword you are talking about (str 22) will show up in Tob. As you are lvl 11, you have a long way to go before you encounter that sword.

You could always refuse the guild as payment, then he'd give you the sword... seeing as the guild is a complete waste of time anyway http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif
