What the hell, count me in. How about we steal some scotch from the Prancing Pony then get drunk and play some ping-pong?

hey, heres a topic for guild discussion,

1)- better thief skill trap or backstab?

and

2)- better thief kit bounty hunter or assasin?

lastly

3)- best thief equipment

i cant decide which is better backstab or traps but there both even better together and even though i am a bounty hunter, im gonna say assasin because a couple special snares will never outdo the poison weapon, especially since magic resistant creatures arent hurt by special snares and poison kills all, poisoned backstabs are great you get em down to near deth with the backstab and before they can evn hit you back the pison kick in and there gone
and as for thief eqipment, i have to say
single weapon style since thieves can only put one slot into proficiencies dual wileding is not worth it at all becuase of the penalties, so weapon celestial fury, bracers of weapon expertise boots of speed, ring of the ram, second weapon slot gessn bow, ring of invis, shadow dragon armor, am i forgetin something?

ok cool guys
we got some members and now we can become a very powerfull guild and concer all!!!!!!1 mwhahahahahaa

ok enough of that

@jon-e-boy great good questions

i think that backstep is better then traps expecially when u have poison-wapon it really defastates mages and other human enemy's

I don't know if a assassin or a bouthy hunter is better.
I play a assassin and i played a lot with yoshimo.
And the special trapss are really cool, killed all the golems in d'arnis keep.
But the poison is also a really good abillaty, when u did just not enough dammage with your backstab the poinos is always a good finisher.

about the equipment i have:
daystar and arbane's sword i do use dual weilding and spended points on long/short sword scimeltar and katana.
ring of human influence/invis/pick locks, shadow armor/nights gift, boots of stealth/speed, cloak of the sewers.

Regular traps become pretty potent too, I've killed Adamantite Golems with them.

1)- better thief skill trap or backstab?

Depends on the situation, for dragons, liches etc. traps, for mages and weaklings backstab
2)- better thief kit bounty hunter or assasin?

Again depends, but I'd say Assassin coz his backstab multiplier is insane, and he can become a good fighter too!

3)- best thief equipment

Shadow dragon armor
Celestial Fury
Ring of Lock Picks, Mercykiller Ring
Amulet of Power
Boots of Speed(Important if backstab fails)
Cloak of Non-detection/Mirroring

Hello Dude!!!I see that your gulid is growing......Just a question: if, one day, your guild will have 1000 thieves, will you be writing all the times in your signature, founder of the 4,5,6,.....membered???

Moreover: have you seen that following Edwin's suggestion your guild is now growing.....

btw what do u do in your council?
Never give away secrets....

About Jon-e-boy nice questions: i prefer assasins.....the poison damage is incredibly useful vs mages.....Moreover i usually give my thief a "quick" weapon, so that he's able to do a lot of attacks in a turn....daggers are the best IMO.....The equipment you get from MaeVar is a must.

from what i know thieves cannot use the amulet of power
i think the best equipement for a PURE thieve is
cuttroat
shadow dragon scale(human flesh+5 if evil)
boots of speed
ring of gax
ring of protection +2
cloak of non-detection
gensen bow
amulet(anyone)
some potions if invisibility
i think this whould be a perfect evil assassin

rapier · Post by **rapier** » Sat Mar 31, 2001 4:30 pm

Ah, right, I forgot, the Ring of Gaxx...
Two is best!

TheDude · Post by **TheDude** » Sat Mar 31, 2001 5:13 pm

)

Here’s the stats of my first assassin.

Gren Nightblade
Level 23 human assassin
STRENGTH 18
DEXTERITY 18
CONSTITUION 16
INTELLIGENCE 14
WISDOM 8
CHARISMA 15

Hide in Shadows 125
Move Silently 90
Find Traps 60
Open Locks 70
Detect Illusions70
Set Traps 40
Pick Pockets 25

Okay, so picking pockets was never his strong suit.

rapier, isn’t two Rings of Gax a bit of overkill? We don’t want to end up a guild of munchkins.

OK, I'm rather a spellcaster, but the latest experience (speed solo with F/T/M) lead me to this guild also.

This is very stealthy character, who kills only when it is absolutely necessary, usually with backstab. Here is the ultimate equipment for this style: Staff of Magi, Cloak of Non-detection, Celestial Fury, Boots of Speed.

Edwin · Post by **Edwin** » Mon Apr 02, 2001 7:12 am

Hello Dude, my stats, as a sorcerer, are:
elf
str 18
dex 19
con 17
int 18

Anyway, there's no way this guild will ever be more powerful of the Council

This is begining to be interresting...keep it going.
I heard that the mages said that thiefs smell bad.....

Kayless · Post by **Kayless** » Mon Apr 02, 2001 7:38 am

I find our somewhat musky aroma to be endearing. Not like those mages who stink of arm-pit and formaldehyde, with an inexplicable touch of lilac.
