I have been playing for about 15 hours and I played a full mage (all 5 schools) and a 2-handed warrior and the 2 companions that you get It is going good, but it was my 鍍rail run? I found that the companions are not my thing and I really want to focus on the interaction between the 2 main characters. With that being said, I want to start a new game with 2 Lone wolfs and I need some help with the builds I have some general ideas, but I am uncertain in general about several thing.

What I want to create is a Fighter/Rogue who can steal everything in plain sight and sneak around. What I am not sure is what weapons should I go with (2-handed/daggers/1-hand & shield) and whether or not I should go all dex or str. I was thinking of getting dex to 8 (for the first level tier skills) and the rest in strength. (assuming I do not go with dagger). How powerful and useful is backstabbing compared to other damage types? How useful is the sneak skill (Nasty Deeds) compared to other means to hide? If it is worth investing, how much should I invest with a fighter/thief build? What I would really like to do is to create a Fighter/Thief/Assassin (from NWN 1 & 2)

I am still thinking about my 2nd character, but I am leaning towards a mage, who might have some rogue-ish talents as well, but I am not sure yet?

In any case, thanks in advance!!


Sounds to me that you'd like to play a Warrior build with just enough Nasty Deeds to be a cool "cloak-n-dagger" type.

You can just build a warrior as you normally would (there are several threads for that already), but try to add a little bit of flavor by getting +Nasty Deeds gear (sneak, pickpocket, lockpicking). You could even get one or two points in Scoundrel so you can have some fun abilities (Walk in Shadows is a good one if you want to use your casters as bait and let the unsuspecting melee enemies try and rush in).

Don't bother with using daggers. You can be a badass 2-handed bullying machine that can pick pockets and smash skulls.
