Umm yes just a few hours ago I started an evil archer. I was just wondering
1) Is multi-arrow a good spell to learn becuase I already know lightning and assasin rish
2) Do you get anything for having 7 guile
3) Does assasin gear give youa stealth bonus, or should I just keep my dark leather, cause I was thinking of buying that assasin crap while doing the trader quest.

Well yes Multi Arrow is very useful. It increases your arrow damage for the next four shots. I don't know about guile, because I havent ever used it. IT does say it helps you sneak up on people. So I think that would be very helpful for an archer to be able to attack people from afar so they don't run up and attack you first. I don't think any of the class specific clothes really help anything, despite what they say. I'd get them just for the role-playing feel.

High Guile

High guile will let you perform special action "expressions" such as steal, sneak and lockpick. These act the same as fishing because they take time and you can be spotted while trying to use them.

Guile will let you get very close to enemies without being noticed. My super paly stomped everywhere in full plate at a dead run, but baddies didn't see me until the sword was already in mid swing.

Sometime, but not always, I got away with "sniping" baddies without them rushing me. I guess if they see an ally go down they automatically know where the shot came from. I was able to pick off half without being detected.

Really high guile is supposed to let you buy shops to earn cash. I heard from a friend that you can set prices for extra profit. Not tried it, though.

He's too busy luring people out of threir homes and killing them outside of town, then buying their houses for rent.

I've mastered all of my experience and my reknown but they never gave me sneak, I have lockpick and steal ut I don't lurk ppl out I just kill em right in front of their houses/buildings and then fight the guards to get a kick of it he he but I've found that some buildings are of no use like the tatoo shop on knothole, no1 ever worked it so I never got a goddam penny out of the punks but houses... oh houses are nice... in hook coast they pay pretty good too, 7k golds for the one they have right by the ligh house and I'm sure the ones up the hill where the assassin comes out must pay pretty good too.

Any how I'm still changing my moods to see if I can get any more reknown type of things... I just never was the silent kind of assassin.. I'm all big and folly (I think that's what it is synonim to robust he he or something) so why sneak when you can just get rid of them :>

Press and hold the left thumbstick button while moving to sneak. Not that it makes much difference.

I would say definitely do not overlook multi-arrow. Anytime you increase your chance of damage on an enemy its useful, especially when you could potentially be doing more damage to more enemies at one time. woot...
