Curious to know what they need and what each one does.

strength - like any other class it determines by a margin how much you it for.
intelligence - nothing
dexterity - Chance to hit, chance to dodge, chance to steal
constitution - hp gains, moving while covert
wisdom - magic resistance
charisma - looks/healing

dexterity is also the chance to steal.

Cons- also how fast you lose stamina when moving covert. A thief with 12 cons might move 1 square while losing 1 stamina. Meanwhile a thief with 21 cons might move 9 squares while only losing 1 stamin.

/nod It functions in the same way as an attack in a way.

If charisma is the only bad thing on the character then I'd keep it anyway. My main thief's charisma is 9 and I've been pretty well off with him for 2 years.

i agree with mike, you dont have to have high char for your thief to be good. I have 2 arch 1 with 16 char and 1 with 13 char... i find there is no major differance in healing.

there's also no big difference between 18 con and 21 con when it comes to moving covert. well, there probably is a little one, but it's barely perceptable most of the time.

What motifies your chance to pass traps? I'm sure it's dex, but I always thought Int should play some part in it.

I did actually test moving covert a few times . . . and on average . . . 19 con thief moved 2 more squares than 18 con . . . and 21 con moved 6 more than 18 con
