Thieving Stats

Mister Popo · Post by **Mister Popo** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 8:43 am

I'm currently playing a dual-wielding swasbuckler.
As I don't want to backstab, I don't use hide in shadows a lot.
I do however, use my traps a lot.

Now my question is, what is the use of putting points in stats when they reach above 100.
Will I get better traps?

More points of trap setting will not get you better traps. The only thing that gives you the better traps is the ToB expansion. While I've gotten a few failed trap setting tries at 90 points I've never failed a trap setting at 100 points. So putting more than 100 on it would be a waste. Use them on one of the other thief skills instead.

What about other skills, is there any use in getting more then 100lockpick / detecttraps

(I know it's usefull for hide in shadows and move silently)

I dont rember any locks that 100 skill points in couldnt pick. As far as detect trap goes; I think more points increases the area of the search or makes the trap appear faster when u search (at least it appears so for me). Plus ive been able to detect traps and not disarm them because my skill was to low.
