I am about to make an gnome thief/mage and have a question.

I know int and dex is important but what more to focus on? str, con or wis? which of them should be highest and most important?

Actually if your a gnome, the multiclass is a thief/illusionist not thief/mage.

You'd want your constitution set to 16. Any higher and its worthless unless your a fighter. You want medium high wisdom for the lore bonus. Charisma and Strenght aren't a great deal for your class. A decent strength belt and ring of human influence will sort you out in those departments.

Try this:

Strength = 10
Dexterity = 19
Constitution = 16
Intelligence = 19
Wisdom = 10+
Charisma = 8

Of course if you have more skill points to allocate, add more to wisdom.

Thanks for the answer.

I will try that. Only thing i can't get is dex=19 also. That must be another race?

Oops :) I confused gnomes with halflings! Your right... i think you can get 18 not 19. :)

You don't need such a high Int. 17 should get you by for SoA, 18 for ToB (unless the level 10 spells require a 19).

You could even go with a lower Int (such as 12), but then you'd need to drink a lot of potions to gain new spells.
