If you start a Hobbit as Alchemist she can change to Ninja @ next level (if you distro atts for it), and gets:
Noticably higher possible starting Dex.
Two spells right away (important for groups with fewer casters).
If you stay L1 til you get to Burz, you can even mix up your Alchemy skill before losing a chance to for the next four levels (and the free potions you make while sleepmining Burz' inventory).
BUT enter the game as a Ninja so you have the suit; recycle to Alchemist. And if she won't be your L&T person, whoever is can while away the time not sleeping--inspecting the chest to build L&T.
