Hi all,
I like very much the 2 thieves kits : swashbuckler and assassins.
Swashbuckler is almost like a FT, viable through the whole game. But they are a little bit boring to play with (only passive bonus)
I love poison weapon from the assassin kit but i dislike how they become unable to hit anything in BG2EE.
Therefore, i plan on creating a special kit, mixing both. Basically i add both benefits and drawbacks of the 2 kits:
- +1 AC at level 1. +1 every 5 level (from swash)
- +1 To hit / Damage every 5 levels (from swash)
- No backstab multiplier (from swash)
- able to specialize in melee weapon and dual wielding (from swash)
- only 30 thieving points at creation and 15 points per level (from assassin).
- Able to use poison weapon, as an assassin (from assassin)
- +1 To hit / Damage (from assassin)
I would welcome any comment or criticism on that kit, especially from a balance point of view

I wouldn't think of this kit as being related to the assassin, as the lack of a backstab nullifies the exciting bit of an assassin.
I dated one of those, once.
Better yet, dual class an assassin to fighter. That'll pretty much get the desired result.
- keep the backstab
- more APR
- better damage (GM)
I've done it once and i remember killing firkraag in a few seconds at early as level 11/12.
On the other hand blackguard completely misses the thief component.
?
One +1 is probably enough go with Swash boni. What epic level abilities would you get I try not to wonder.
