If you backstab someone, can you hide in shadows again immediatly after?
Or perhaps run away a little bit and do it?</STRONG>
If you have a mage in your party you could also make him cast invsi. spell on your thief

That's the good of a shadow mage.... :eek:
If you're an assassin/mage, you can backstabb with poison, and then cast invisibility on yourself........
Great!!!!!

Just goes to show that stats do not make the man (well I guess technically they do but nevermind ;) :p )

If someone is just gonna spend an hour sitting in front of their computer re-rolling stats they might as well just use ShadowKeeper to edit their attributes. It's only slightly less ethical. Not that I have a problem with ShadowKeeper or other hacks, just munchkins who want invincible god-stats :)

i don't know if it is going to be a level 10 or 9 spell, but they mentioned somethign called dragon's breath. one of the many pages that has screen shots shows what i think is dragon's breath, it shows a dragon's head appearign above the caster. looked really cool...

Hmmm. Now this is interesting. I've been away from my computer for about a week and when I come back I discover a brand new guild that swallowed my old one. Oh well, I guess I might as well get in on this one too seeing as how I was in the Council. But although the assassin/mage can be very powerful (I have tried them) I still prefer my sorcerer to anyone that has to memorize spells.

Which weapon would you guys advice for a backstab weapon?

But first, I prefer my assassin not to wield a katana. I dont like my assassin wielding that lengthy sword - eventhough C.F. could be the best backstab weapon. Because in reality that does not fit, right? (that's why we are role-playing anyway).

I would like to stick with long and short swords or even daggers.

I like the bone dagger. There's just something about it..., very cool for roleplaying. I know it's not technically the best, but that's not the point. It's got class. It's interesting. Something about a sharpened, magically enhanced dagger made of bone coated with poison. It's just cool! :cool: :D IMHO.

Rail,

Where can I get that (Bone Dagger)? Also, I read somewhere that there is also a weapon called "LIFE STEALER", do you know where to find it also?

Thanks.
