Best played as an elf (for the swords and bow +1 THAC0 and bonus to stealth skills) or a half-orc (for 19 strength) IMHO, otherwise can have problems landed a hit at higher levels... (View Post)

Also, it would be nice if characters with high Charisma could have a chance to talk their way out of failed attempts... (View Post)

True, though *very* hard to get until you have a high-level party without extensive metagaming (not even that easy then). (View Post)

The Bard one is the most fun IMHO (View Post)

Gnomes get a +10% bonus to Detetct Illusions, Dwarfs 5%, see: http://www.pocketplane.net/volothamp/thief.htm Gnomes make great thieves, especially as a Illusionist/Thief or Cleric/Thief (View Post)
