Wrestling for thief?

[Oswald]

I suspected a stealth build would work well for a Magery thief.
That pretty much confirms it - clever use of game mechanics.

As far as trying to stealth up to someone out in the wild, you still run the risk of being walked through at which point it's very likely that they will go nuts on reveals.

I haven't found it worthwhile at all for my dexxer thief - you pretty much can't have stealth as a dexxer thief because you won't have room for important melée skills like anatomy tactics and healing.

With magery you can easily get all the Mage skills you need + thief skills.
