problems with thiefs

Post by dynamiteboy_ »

i heard a rumor that after 150% on theiving skills the ability starts over.

is this true?

ex: my theif has 130 hide in shadows, and i have items that makie him 160. he was capable of hiding real quick and at anytiime, so will the added items (making it over 150) make him not hide as well?

If this was true you would have realized it already.
I played a halflling fighter/thief with 19 dex up to level 30/30 and I never experienced such a problem.

No the abilities do not reset.

A sufficiently high-level thief will "max-out" such that you will not have the option of adding points to the abilities. You will generally max out higher than 100%, as I believe the cap does not include the racial or dexterity-based ability bonuses, or both. It also does not include items, so it certainly is possible to have a listed score of 150+ %. Such a high score has no practical difference from a score of 100%.
