Maybe so. Come to think of it it sounds more logical. They don't want you to have too many points to distribute.

Hmmmmmm...Yes, that must be it

Remembering that you only get 25 points to distribute upon lev' up, if you need to assign to move silently and hide in shadows equally then this cuts your options down a fair bit when assigning points to other thieving skills.

You get 30
But an assassin only gets 15

...and the bounty hunter gets 20. No I think the normal thief only gets 25. I am quite sure of it.

Check your manual again. They mention these skills even though some of them are not in the game. The move silently ability is in the game though. I think you have made the mistake like many others have done and not scrolled down when you distribute your thief-skills. Or maybe I am wrong.

Sorry! Not mentioned Character Description, bu just checked the table on page 124 and they are there. Which begs the question.... How are these skills used? I don't recall seeing them on the Character Sheet, or when you level up, or ANYWHERE! Does anyone USE them?

Well, ma'am, which game are you playing ?

If you tell first, I might then consider to tell you about mine as well

Seriously, when I checked again in my manual (albeit the German version) I could not find them either, but I have read about them, too, somewhere. Maybe in the in-game information on thieves ? But don't worry, the only one implemented in the game is "Move Silently", see the discussion above.

So long !
