Thief doesn't need poisoning?
Thief doesn't need poisoning?
For my dexxer thief the toon has
Anatomy
Tactics
Swordsmanship
Snooping
Stealing
Healing
but it appears, they won't need poisoning, I'll take macing instead. According to the wiki, the chance to poison a blade depends on the poisoning skill of the crafter, not the wielder. So, I wouldn't want the dexxer/thief to have poisoning, a better idea would be to have my crafter have alchemy/poisoning, and have him give the dexxer the poisoned blade after he poisons them.

I believe that is correct. In UOR era poisoning gave a boost to spellcasting poison if you had it on your mage i believe.

I think you'll need hiding as a 7th skill

There is a benefit to having poisoning on a dexer.
That is the ability to re-poison your blade when your poison wears off in battle.

I could just bring several poisoned blades. Since it wouldn't be the dexxers poisoning skill when they poison the weapon, but my crafter who made it's skill, I think I'll go with just the crafter having poison.sircharlestha3rd wrote:There is a benefit to having poisoning on a dexer.

Hiding is more for a stealth thief, so the 7th skill will either be macing or magic resist.

Re: Thief doesn't need poisoning?
poisoning offers the best title in the game though...

Re: Thief doesn't need poisoning?
I think the wiki should say "skill of poisoner" not crafter, usually crafting is the making of physical objects, whereas poisoning is a skill that doesn't involve making anything
