Assassins are far from useless in BG1. The poison ability is available right from start and makes you a mage killer. With high Dex they are good with bows. Backstabbing is very power even at very low… (View Post)

Kivan has 18/12 STR which is a higher stat then his dex (17) so he is nearly as good at melee as he is with bows. Otherwise, as I said above, take Ajantis for the ultimate good tank. (View Post)

Current: When creating an Assassin you are able to select all the alignments except Lawful Good like a normal thief. Expected: Assassin should only be able to be Evil alignments or CN. (View Post)

I've been apart of the forum since it was created. and no, I'm not surprised by the comments since release. Melodrama always happens on release day. (View Post)
