thieving character..

[joshweewee]

Hey everyone, just thinking of trying the play as a thief character. Anyway, how does point distribution work with thieving characters, like which skills should we focus on and how many points to spend on them? Cas i'm really not too sure bout this type of fighter.

Also , for this its best to use a bow right?

no thanks to pick lock !
I'd rather use sneak which is quite important.

Anyway should a thief character have diplomacy or a magic branch as one of his tag skills?
