i'm currently going through the game as just a thief atm. it's fairly difficult, as i don't have the cloak of Non Detection yet. mages are difficult, but the shadow dragon was fairly easy to solo at lvl 17. useful items to pick up before you do things: boots of speed, staff of air, cloak of cheese, ring of air control.

fighting a large group of bad guys i'm finding to be the most difficult, due to the poor melee of a thief once the first Backstab is done, but it's doable, you just gotta be patient. ring of air control is one of the first items you should get for the improved invis once a day. that's an extra backstab in every fight.

edit: and for proficiencies, i'd highly suggest longswords and a katana. nice high Backstab damage means chunky mages before they can cast on you
