Thieves are really cool characters IMHO. I had a Fighter/Thief with 19 dex (elf) and he kicked ass!

I remember in the shadow lord dungeon there was an area with a bladed skeleton (the one with the long blades on its arms) and my fighter/thief kept running behind a pillar and disappearing and then backstabbing the skeleton till it died. Cool stuff!
Im also not an original PnP player, so I dont really like getting into the intricate details of when to dual class a character to get maximum benefits or what character class combination to play to get best results and all that sorta stuff. It just seems like power gaming to me. Feel free to disagree, since I have nothing against people that do that, but I just like to keep it real instead of trying to manipulate the system instead of just going with the flow. I know its accepted, but its not something I rather enjoy so my parties always have pure class or multiclass characters.
Play the Game, not the numbers.
Sorry for the rant
