Thieves/Assassins?

[lintsniffer]

What is key for creating a good thief or assassin? What race, sign, and class is the best? Also, any mods that enhance playing as a thief or assassin would be appreciated?

 

Thanks.

Race-Khajiit or Wood Elf

Birth Sign-Steed or Thieve(mabye the Shadow)

Class-Obviously thieve or assasin. :rolleyes:

Bosmer, Khajiit, Argonian. However, you can be whatever race you want and still have an awesome thief/assassin/sneaky character.

REMEMBER! races get bonuses. NOT penalties! meaning, your Nord assassin will be just as powerful as your Khajiit one, its all

in how the skills are augmented. I recommend using your own made classes because the base ones SUCK! ... yeah, that is all.

 

EXAMPLE:

 

Nord assassin level 5

Major skills:

Longsword 60

Marksman 56

Sneak 45

Security 43

Med.Armor 50

 

Bosmer assassin level 5

Major skills:

Shortsword 47

Marksman 68

Light Armor 46

Sneak 51

Security 38

i chose skeleton race from the skeleton race mod

 

race: skeleton

sign: the ritual

class: assassin

 

i usualy wear glass with no helmet and use a silver shortsword. trying to find a daedric shortsword. :thumbsup:

Use custom classes with major skills like security, sneak, marksman, short blade and light armor etcetc. Khajiits, Argonians and Bosmers get bonuses for skills useful for thieves / assassins, but you can be whatever race you want and still make it work.

well there are a couple of ways

you could go with an bosomer then beef up his skills but the best way to do it is to get the tower as the birth sign then go unlock doors lv50 at lvl 1

Created my own race, the Grim Elf :blink: (using the skin from Ebony Rose & one hair style from Qarl)

 

All base attributes set to 40

Female height 90 & weight 85 (no males)

 

Skill bonus: (no magix or weapons)

Acrobatics 10

Athletics 10

Sneak 10

Hand to Hand 10

 

Spells: Jump 60 secs @ 20

Abilities: resist Common Disease & Poison 75, resist Blight & Corprus Disease 50

Powers: Water Breathing 180

 

Birthsign: The Shadow, gives Invisibility 60 but i upped it to 120 :rolleyes:

 

I dont select a class, i select Stealth, Strength & Endurance & then Marksman, Longsword, Shortsword, Spear & Armourer.

 

The idea is that my race comes from a land far far away that have little knowledge of weapons & magix & live in their natural surroundings, hence the chosen attributes, not selecting a class i can make up for weapon bonus's, i dont choose any magix.

A good name for a Khajiit will be Doriq'riv
