Strangely Good Thief...

[Silvix]

After reading the title i'm sure you just looked here to bash it or talk shit on thieves, ect. However, this could be some sort of fault because there's no way this should happen at level 24 with only 10 pts into intel and a shortsword, without backstabbing... I don't get it. Seems like they either ARE combat 3 right now or something is seriously kicking ass for a horc thief....

Edit:

[ Draven  ](more ruou)
Draven is a colossal, muscular Half-Orc Thief with ankle-length white hair and
black eyes. He moves with uncanny speed, and is quite unfriendly and aloof.
Draven appears to be slightly dull and seems sullen and impulsive. He is
heavily wounded.

He is equipped with:

shortsword                     (Weapon Hand)
hard leather helm              (Head)
hard leather gauntlets         (Hands)
gold jeweled ring              (Finger)
hardened leather boots         (Feet)
silk cape                      (Back)
rigid leather pants            (Legs)
leather belt                   (Waist)
rigid leather tunic            (Torso)
fingerbone bracelet            (Wrist)

Hmm...

I'm assuming he's Q&D w/ shortsword, maybe even max Q&D?  Looks like he has quite a bit of strength.  He's fighting a mob that only has 20/0 ac/dr.

Maybe that's typical or maybe that was also just a fairly lucky streak of crits in a row.  Keep an eye on it, if it still seems out of whack let us know.

Since nobody has bothered yet, I'll go ahead and say that a tiny capture of a few combat rounds hardly qualifies as "strangely good". You must remember that the monster you were fighting has only 20 ac and 0 DR. Getting a few lucky rips hardly qualifies as overpowered.

Is this for real? Even for a thief, it looks weak
