im not a big fan of this games thief. backstab is ok but all his other major attributes(like traps and so fourth) are readily available to everybody. so why choose a char that can excercise such a limited ability? a mage for instance has a big cut in HP just because hes a ranged fighter with massive casting ability. thats a downfall to a mage is hit points, but makes up in spellpower. a thief loses some of his strength and hp just to gain thief abilities but now anyone can use them.so why choose a thief when you can choose a mage with thief abilities. or better yet a fighter or barbarian with thief abilities, at least that way youll have double hit points. i got a barb with excellent thieving abilities with 318 HP and deals standard damage around 22-34 3x that on critical.
