I am not a school child, and you are not a smarmy english instructor. You have neither the right now the privilege to command me to do anything.

I thought your restraining order said you weren't supposed to be around kids anymore....

First, it's better off to start a new thread rather than respond to an old thread with something that has nothing to do with the original post.

Second, if you are PvP Open then anyone can kill you for any reason as many times as they like and if you report to the GM's about it they will tell you tough luck. The only caveat is if it becomes harassment, and that would take you using the WARN verb multiple times while still being killed constantly. Basically if you were not able to play for a day, or more, that might become harassment, but anything short of that you have to live with. Also, graverobbing is not against policy. Check out DEPART HELP to make sure you never leave items to be GRed.

Now for your question. The only thing you can do is run and hide in a passage or the guild, or find someone bigger than them to help you out. When it comes to combat we have great offense in Backstab, but defensively we are weak. Stealth or running is about the only options you have. If you don't already have Silence I would recommend you pick it up soon as it would benefit your playstyle very much.

As for ways to train, train Stealth heavily as it's our best defense and find yourself a good set of cloth/leather armor since it's the lowest stealth hinderance, and once you have more skill Dampen will reduce the stealth hinderance to nothing if you are in full light armor. Backstab is our best offense and the damage is made even better if you win the stealth contest by a lot so train Small Edged, Backstab, and Stealth heavily. Finally all defenses are equally important but Evasion is still the best defense since it defends against everything, and it's a in our primary skillset.

The best advice I can give you is learn when to run and when to fight, and learn to take a death gracefully because I see many in your future.

P.S.: Train as many weapons as you can stand and all armors in combat. Stats are very important in PvP and the more TDPs you have the better of you are.

Just an overall forum related suggestion -- start a new thread next time. Unless it was Elec who killed and grave robbed you.

<< it was actually completely unprovoked

Just being open is reason enough. You're still relatively unknown but if you keep up what you're doing, pretty soon you will be on everyone's kill-on-sight list (won't take long to piss off all 200 people). Most people you steal and run away from have HLC alts or friends more than willing to kill people like you. It's tough to bait consent these days with everyone knowing their rights and a noob gone open is practically a gift from god.

<< how I should train to defend myself

Even if you cough up 1000 ranks in every skill right this moment it wouldn't make much of a difference. You would be surprised what kind of ranks people are operating with these days. I would say hide out in the den but there are plenty of HLC thieves around who couldn't care less about your guild connections. Even so if you keep stealing from other thieves, most of them aren't going to tolerate it.

There are khri you could use to avoid being located but i doubt you will make any hunt/spot checks. I think maybe some of the less used guild passages might be your best bet and non-violence areas (like town green if i remember correctly).

Please don't take that link seriously and follow it. None of that will help you and will more than likely get you chain-killed often or get you locked Open by the GMs.
