didn't notice the weird stats the first time, but...

Almost looks like str is being rolled second. Would be nice to have a stat for thief prime that's actually useful.

[Thraxas]

Is this new char a new incarnation of a previously used name?

[Toxis]

Quick, roll while you can roll str second!!!

But would a thief really want Dex to be his last stat?

[Yinao]

I think I would prefer it last with Strength first what real thief cares about AC anyways?

Live like a real thief stab then die when you whiff, like Autolycos

sure. i have no use for ac, so i could honestly care less what my dex stat is.

i'd much prefer it if my th/ma rolled str/int/con/wis/dex - i'd reroll in a heartbeat if that was the case

[Leaf]

Maybe I'm being a real newbie, but I was told yrs ago that dex effect % on
landing the stabs. This was why Thief's first stat is their Dex.

[Gimlet]

you're a newbie

[Medios]

Strange that dex would roll last, sux too.
Dex should effect stab, sneak, hide, etc.

Adam is right, who cares about AC. Thief mobs are going to hit you regardless. Load up on dmg, spelldmg, stabdmg.

Will and Al calling each other n00bs?

Pot meet kettle.

[*juggleblood*]

umm that has to be a mistake. There's no way thats the right stat order

[Krok]

Come on, dex does affect the stab chance. At least it used to be so a couple years ago. But you will most likely have 18 dex in your running mode anyways, so it doesn't quite matter.

[Leaf]

Looks like Krok thought the same as me, regarding the 18 dex. However
with dex being that low, I would want to know how a thief is going to load
up from 6 or 8 dex points
