Thief

[Cerveza]

I started a thief on Pac.

Thinking about this, I could easily go with 120 Wrestling for defense. I'd get Disarm and Conc Blow, and I'd be able to hold a shield for it's benefits.

90 Stealing (+20 Dancers, +10 Bandana)
90 Snooping (+10 Bandana)
120 Wrestling
115 Ninjitsu
110 Resist
100 Hiding
95 Stealth (+5 Cloak)

*Edit: Changed Snooping (forgot about Bandana +10) and added that 10 points to resist.

The only thing I'd change is 120 resist... unless you're not going to be stealing power scrolls from spawns... and it's SO fun and easy if you parse the scrolls in a guys pack and auto steal the 20's... hehe

(Dont forget Cerveza about +10 stealth on Bandana also dont forget about +20 stealth on Shadow Dancer leggings )

This will give you 130 stealth or you can use those 30 points somewhere else?

[Paulonius]

You have not even gotten to your imbued jewelry yet.  You can easy add 60 more skill points, more DCI and LRC on your jewelry...

[Cerveza]

I'm going with regular HCI/DCI/DI stuff I already have.

[Cerveza]

Well, this char is almost done. and I may need to change around his jewelry.

90 Stealing (+20 Dancers, +10 Bandana)
90 Snooping (+10 Bandana) - Now at 0.0
120 Wrestling
115 Ninjitsu
110 Resist
100 Hiding - Now around 80
95 Stealth (+5 Cloak) - Now around 85

I have 120 Fencing on the char right now for stealing/killing wisps, but have 120 Wrestling on a soul stone.

Ok, now back to jewelry. Does Wrestling rely on HCI? I know there's no point in getting DI on it because it wouldn't make any difference for wrestling.

So what to look for in Jewelry?

I'm thinking HCI/DCI and FC/FCR? I know Ninjitsu is FC/FCR dependent. It might help to have fast casting to get shape changed quickly.

I *could* get some skills on imbued jewelry, then add in some Detect or Tracking??

[Paulonius]

Do you need snoop to run the scroll steal scripts?

[Masscre]

You do if you want to get 120's instead of 105's.

[Cerveza]

Without snooping you randomly steal, which could be anything from a single potion, a 105 (as mentioned), some bandages etc...

With snooping you can see what's in the pack and get your target item set as last target.

[Paulonius]

What is the benefit of 115 Ninjitsu on this template?

I like the ability to use smoke, but you get that at 50 pts.  Are you going to be using animal forms to help you escape?

[Cerveza]

Animal forms for moving at mounted speed while stealthing

No healing, so Talisman of Bandage Summoning and a Cu Talisman. Change into Cu form and summon 10 bandages. You use the bandages to heal.

DP'd shurikens and fukyu darts.

[Cerveza]

Forgot, unicorn form so you can walk through poison fields.

[Scrripty]

Forgot, unicorn form so you can walk through poison fields.

Wha???

[Cerveza]

Unicorn form is immune to lower level poison. You can walk through poison fields. Maybe not if the caster has poisoning skill though.

[manwinc]

I'm pretty sure it still poisons you, it just works like Vampire, once the first damage tick is supposed to go off. bam it removes it.
