How can a little thief survive in such a huge world?

How can a little halfling/thief survive trough BMC,Thantos,Wastes without combat skills and charm 8(2 followers)?This little halfling is master in picklocks and lockpics and he has Virgil and a Dog fightin' by his side.Can he survive or should he invest in melee/dodge/backstab,BUT,he's expert in throwing....

 

You might want to invest at least ine point in dodge and melee each.

 

You don't eed melle if you have throwing. I'd buy dodge and maybe the first level of explosives if you want to stick with throwing.

 

try level up some more

 

Lethran is correct. And if you're going to do the Gods Quest, don't bother investing in Dodge, either. I'm playing a thrower, and it's time consuming until you get the ultimate throwing weapon, but now it's almost too easy. I have no melee skill.

 

I rarely use throw. Also, you are right, don't invest in dodge unless you are playing a pure melee. You get huge boosts from the ultimate blessing.
