Woohoo! The board's back up! :D
@Rail: Simply chilling :p Sends a shiver down my spine!
I warn you, Kayless. Leave now, before you too are put to the knife to free your ensorcelled soul. These mages only lure you to act as a human shield so they can study in peace in hopes of gaining yet more power. You have made peace with those unworthy of it.

Stick with what you know: cunning, brawn, steel, and shadow. These are what make the assassin deadly. Not alliances and the All-Consuming Art.

Avoid my wrath and those I fight with while the choice is still your own!

Okay, stepping out of character, I am surprised it has yet to be mentioned, but some of the best spells for a mage/thief are Black Blade of Disaster followed by Tenser's Transformation. I have read it in other posts and tested it out myself. Makes for great backstabs and stunning toe-to-toe fighting after, if needed.

Also, does Chill Touch, and other touch spells like it get multiplied when backstabbing? The effects do work through weapons, so I wouldn't be surprised.</STRONG>
Yes, such spells can give a thief some much improved combat power. I'm not sure about Chill Touch being amplified by backstab so I’ll have to investigate.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Morning Dude! :D
Oh stop with the praise! You’re gonna give me a big head Image
P.S. Yeah, I noticed the missing spell check too. I just draft out my messages on Microsoft Word than paste when I'm done.

Hello Dude, hello Kayless....i've already rated you (5 stars....obviously :D ) and put you in my buddy list, but i don't know how this thing works.....any suggestion????
Back to the topic:
black blade of disaster is surely powerful for a thief. Also Tenser Transf.....this one is good for all dual classed mages, that can use other abilities while under transformation; i don't find it really useful for mages because they loose their casting ability for a long time.....
About chill touch i don't know....i'll try this one.....a good thing coming out from discussion :cool:

hi Edwin,
i gave u also a 5 star rating :D
and added u to my buddylist and also don't know how this works :D :D :D :D

tensfer trans. sure is one of the best spell for any dual mage i agree.
inprove invis is also a good spell and stone skin (duhh :D )

but what about some pet summoning i think that is a great spell for a assassin/mage.
When u are in trouble summon some pets so that your foes don't come after u when u run to hide in shadows, so u can backstab again :D :D

ROFL, I'm touched. :)

I thought the idea of a huge warrior, part of some wizard-slaying cult, who couldn't hide in shadows if his life depended on it, wandering around your guildhouse, was most amusing. :D

Seriosly, I play a fighter/thief. I'm in ;)
