Thief |
 |
To accomplish his goals, for good or ill, the thief is a skilled pilferer. Cunning, nimbleness and stealth are his hallmarks. Whether he turns his talent against innocent passers-by and wealthy merchants or oppressors and monsters is a choice for the thief to make. There are seven thief abilities in Baldur’s Gate II. At first level a thief character will receive 30 points to allocate among his abilities. Every level thereafter he will gain an extra 20 points. See Table 2 on pg 138 to see how a thief’s abilities are modified according to race and dexterity.
Available Race(s): Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Dwarf, Half-Orc
