Hey there, the other post was running a bit OT, so I decided to open up this one which is focused on the topic I really care for: Building a solid "Necro/thief".

I think scoundrel and withcraft are mandatory. Not sure if I would need some other skill. What I want is:

-Be able to position myself conveniently on the field.
-Get that "dark rogue" flavour that reminds of a Hexblade.
-Be social.
-Be melee but don't become useless when not in the fray (grenades perhaps?)

What I think: (maybe I'm wrong, if so then tell me.)

-I need both Dex and Int to run this character
-I need to craft my own things like grenades
-I'll be somehow squishy
-At the beginning of the game, my mage companion outshines me all the time.
-Lockpicking is useless.

Last thought about sneaking: If I'm a good sneak but my companion isn't, how will I be able to infiltrate anywhere? Will she be forced to fight while I move on the field undetected, or will we be detected together?

Ok now, this noob awaits for your help! Thank you! Feel free to suggest your own builds, stats, talents etc.
