I have two questions about dwarves as thieves. First what is their max dexterity if u use no items? Second what weapons can you backstab with?

Dwarves can have 18 dex. You can backstab with a dagger or a short sword.

Can Dwarves be Thieves?

can you not backstab with ANY weapon a thief can use? I thought you could at least......

Probably in 3rd edition rules, but I don't think so in BGII, that uses 2nd edition.

dwarves can be thieves in BG2.......

Dwarves are limited to 17 dex at creation. The only way a Dwarf can have 18 dex is with a Tome of Dexterity.

"This place will be your tomb."

There is no tome of dexterity in BG2. I think you mean the gloves of dexterity.

You can backstab with longswords, Katanas and some others too. Personally I'd rather you could only B/S with daggers or at the outside a short sword. I think the game lets itself down in this department, particularly as Katanas are in reality two handed swords. Imagine a Halfling Backstabbing with a weapon that's nearly as tall as he/she is, it's ridiculous.........still, there ya go. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Why would you want a dwarf thief? I think Halfling thieves are much better.
