Trying to figure out what's going to be the best thief for a backstabber build. I'm torn between the single class thief, the assassin, and the multi-class fighter/thief. My issues so far:
Single class thief: Will level quick. Has plenty of thieving points but...can he even hit anything with his lousy THACO?
Assassin: Slightly better THACO than the pure thief but with less thieving points. Has poison which is a plus.
Fighter/Thief: Can have high strength, better proficiencies, better THACO, dual-wielding possible, can fight toe to toe. Only con here is much slower leveling. This is what I usually roll with in BG2. But I'm worried about the slower leveling.
What does everyone else think? Thanks.
