Stealth Macer

[Cleophus]

I'd like to create a character that can stealth up to players, equip and suprise attack them. I want to know which skill I should drop for stealth. I am gm in:

Mace fighting
Anatomy
Tactics
Magery
Hiding
Resist Spells
Healing

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

personally i would drop resist, you should scare them enough to get them running and healing rather than attacking back.

ps use vanqs

^^That's pretty much the only thing you can drop.

Regardless of that, you probably won't kill anyone (unless crazy lucky) with only a weapon skill to deal damage.

A stealth archer would be better than macing

Actually a stealth Mage would be the most powerful stealth build cause you can still 5x and have full resist and wrestling.

I have a stealth mage with the same build. When I go into cast that couple secs of casting spooks people enough to run. With a stealth archer if you wait til hp is low you can easily 1 shot most people

In that situation, I can see that, but what if you miss?

Then your shit out of luck haha. But hopefully you can get the target with the next shot. I usually stealth up to the target (usually an unsuspecting bard in khaldun) hop on my ethy and do work!
