    I'm working my char towards a Gunslinger, with Persuation and Gambling. So what makes a good gunslinger? Here's my guy:

    LAWRENCE
    Human, Bandit
    Expert Firearms (+1 Bar)
    First Bar in Pickpocks
    The First 3 Guns
    Gambling Apprentice
    Persuation 2 Bars
    12 Perception
    10 Dex
    11 Int
    9 Beauty & Christma
    8 Strengh, Willpower & Con.

    What else does he need?

    dont go for both pick pocket and gambling, if you get pickpocket, you snag shop keys and sell the stuff back to them for money, this makes gambling rather pointless, especially since my version seems destined to make me lose...higher perception is good, so is strength, and getting some more schematics, like more guns, and elecrtical is good too for the charged rings, healing jacket, and tesla gun, oh yeah, higher intel is good to learn those upper schematics, you also might want to get the first in herbology since you cant rely on virgil to fill his healing bitch role...to ask my own question, do people think i need a high intelligence as a thief, i went for feral child and raised it back to 5 quickly, ive been getting my pickpocket, prowling, persuasion, picklocks, and throwing skills up so far, but is it worth bumping intel up? i used the intel potion so that i could get 2 charged rings to get dx up, figure +4 is worth 2 cps...i know where i can find the stuff if i need to go up temporarily, but is it worth going up the normal way?

    Try using fullstops, semi-colons and *gasp* paragraphs!

    Oh yeah! And hands! Arms are useful too, but not essential...

    Make sure you've got fingers though. :wink:

    Eyes are a definite "must"! (else everyone complains that you don't know what you're doing) :-?

    Aargh! My NUTS! I was relying on my nut store to last me through my next winter hibernation! :x

    Now I guess I'll just have to go raid the squirrels' store again! :roll:
