Does anyone else like basic thieves more than the kits?

    Plus, the deadliest backstabbing weapons in the game are the Staff of Striking and the Staff of the Ram, both of which can be used by clerics.

    Scroll casting Black Blade, or Shapeshift for Iron Golem can deal out some comical backstabs too, but yes, an Assassin Cleric has good backstabs indeed. Just less Mislead cheese!

    @DreadKhan: Fair enough. Make that the deadliest permanent backstabbing weapons. Because BBoD and the Iron Golem attack are just crazy.

    They aren't getting use every fight, but they can come in handy, especially if nobody needs the scroll.

    If you decide to dual late, your Assassin or Swashie will get UAI, and offer use of non-cleric weapons, for up to 2 extra apr, while buffs will give good odds to hit.

    yeah swashbuckler 25 > cleric looks like a good choice for an evil party that wants to dump viconia when you get sarevok

    edit: so for example if you have this pc + evil stormtrooper trio & edwin, it's better to have haer'dalis than viconia because his improved bard song will apply to *four* meleers which amounts to an absurd damage output increase

    (i'm talking about this simply because i've never liked viconia much)
