Hello DarkJedi, glad to see another thief

Some things to rember is the armour can affect our skills, and certain races do get a bonus with some of the thief skills. Page 232 will show some of the adjustment abilities, and some of the readings will tell you about bonuses races get when not using the thief ability in detection of traps, hidden doors, and the what not.

If you put on better than Studded leather (or some of the magical ones later on) you can loose your theivin' abilities, until it is removed.

I started out as a human fighter, then went to level 9, then duel classed him to a thief. Playing a straight thief or a sub-set of thief is very rewarding, but can be frustrating because you will have to rethink how you are gonna attack, and how you will keep people off your thief, some say it is frustrating, I say it is fun.

For a thief, you want dex, str, con, to be up as high as possible. I also use the auto pause function for enemies and traps, that way i can set myself and the party up for maximum effectiveness.

Hope that helps
