Theives are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have so many advantages. When i started a new game my theif did 44 damage with a backstab! with a good theif you dont need to worry about paying for items at shops because you steal them. Pickpocketing.I think Assassins are the best kit class.

They`re not the best. There are many much better classes. Take a Sorcerer for example. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You had to start that again...As SixOfSpades likes to say, the best class is the one you enjoy the most [img]smile.gif[/img] Btw, iirc, a Kensai/Thief can do ~360 with ToB ITEM SPOILER

The highest achievable legal backstab in SoA-ToB is 532 damage. You will need a ToB NPC and a ToB item though.

ADD] The highest a Kensai->Thief can backstab is 408 damage.

An Assassin->Fighter however, trashes the K->T with 462 damage.

Dundee...you meant S. using Backstab with his D.A.? lol

I'm going to use an Assassin/Fighter in my next game. I have a new-found love for crossbows, so the Poison Weapon skill should come in very handy...especially with Bolts of Biting :-D

a little off topic - (although its a fairly rambly topic so far [img]smile.gif[/img] - for some reasone that simple sentence - gave me a really nice character idea - a sort of gentleman thief kind of assassin - a bit like the assassins in the diskworld books maybe . . . very concerned with appearance and the company he keeps . . . a little dismissive . . . i see the blade of roses . . . i see being embarassed by minsc and disgusted by dwarves . . .

thanks for that
