When I play thieves I'm usually a multiclass. So I just dump all my points into traps and locks. I'm thinking about playing one of the kits, not sure which yet. Maybe Bounty Hunter. But I'm curious how high I should take my skills. I don't really understand how the skills work. What value do I need to reliably open locks and disarm traps? How does detect illusion work, and how high should I take that skill? What about setting traps? Another thread somewhat answered the stealth question, but my poor math abilities fail to understand how much I need in the stealth skills to do well.
I'm mainly looking for these answers in the context of BG:EE. However, I'll probably recreate the character in BG2 and play there as well if I like the experience. So if you can make some references to the expansion I'd appreciate it :)
