As Zail said discipline is good....but charisma just to lower fines is worthless, best to spend more on agility to make stealing easyer so you get caught less.

My suggestion would be to train discipline up with every other important skill (it helps with cookies alot from my understanding, along with many other things) charisma is pretty useless unless you want to lower fines or yer a bard :P (this is what I did, its totally up to what you prefer)

What is Charisma good for? CHarisma is good for when you get caught picking pockets and your victim goes to report you to the guards... there's actually a check, and if your charisma is high enough, the guards don't believe the accusation.

>there's actually a check, and if your charisma is high enough, the guards don't believe the accusation.

Hmmm so thats what happend, Ragran stole from me outside the bank door on ratha, I went right to the guardhouse on first and accused him...they didn't do anything about it....

VT's not the only thing Charisma is good for.

Charisma is widely useless. There are some various situations where Charisma may help, but frankly they are few and far between. While there have been many posts by GM's over the history of DR about making Charisma more important, unless you are of certain guilds that have key charisma based abilities, its not a useful statistic after 20 points.

Focus in Discipline Agility and reflexes. If your a 'melee' thief, strength and stamina are of importance. Intelligence and Wisdom are nice to train but wisdom is a stat of diminishing returns in terms of pulsing rate.

What I said. If it effects some luck factor is always ominous, but frankly thieves work in a highly specialized set of skills that rely heavily with certain stats than others. This makes charisma not very desirable. Q.E.D not worth the tdps.

not to mention its magic prot effects are weak, took my moonie and tested min mana to MB at like 26 for stun and 32 for sleep, went and raised said character 15 points of charisma at one time and tried again exact same mana it took. Then went out and got 1 disc and it took the moonie more mana to MB. so if 15 charisma doesnt even equal 1 disc its pretty useless
