Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General thinking of building a sneaky character.

So I'm thinking of building a character based around being sneaky of course i'm picking the elf lady as my main character since she seems to be the most inclined for this.

I was wondering what skills go well with this type of character I was thinking poly morph since they have the ability to go invisible and such and I like the idea of summoning stuff in case stuff goes south, and also those abilities don't rely on int either.

now the question is do I want to use a bow or daggers I was wondering how you guys felt about this? This is probably the most important piece I want to be versatile and have neat skills. The skills of the dagger tree look cooler but being able to have elemental arrows also seems kinda neat it's hard to choose :(.

so if anyone could give me some input and tips like what other magic works well with a character such as this or how useful sneaking is or pickpocketing/lockpicking.

also how does crafting work in this game since there's no crafting skill, do you just shove stuff together and create stuff or is there something i'm missing?

dwarves have +1 on sneaking, they are more sneaky than elves or you could take undead, because they can always lockpick.

You start a fight using range combat, and changing into backstabbing mode, when the herd is thinned.

You can craft similar to the first game, you just don't need to skill for it. There are recipes like in the first, probably even more and more complicated.
