He newbie here~
Just wanna know who do you think might be considered the best ever assassin/rogue or theif you have ever come across from the novels.
I think Daryth of Calimshan is a very good one.

hmm....Lots to hear about this topic over just a few days...
I'm learning hard...
I have not touch any of R.A Salvatore's books yet, I started with Baldur's Gate, then Moonshae Trilogy and The Last Mythal Trilogy, then the avatar series.....
I just thought that the most skillful, intereting Theif/Assasin class character seems to be Daryth of Calimshan ~
(Only from the books I've read above of course) |

I'd totally forgotten about Ghost, been a while too since I read the cleric quintet.
Apologies for the non-realms response (bear with me), but if there are any rogues in the realms like Silk from the Belgariad, then he gets my vote for sheer class |

I have actually read those novels but it was like 10-12 years ago. I don't remember much of it these days |

He appears in the Cleric Quintet . . . an assasin with a unique way of accomplishing things. |

No, I'd say artemis is still an exceptionally skilled rogue. Probably one of the best in the realms for that matter. I'd just say that the absolute cream of the rogue crop won't be revealed because the only beings who know they exist are the Gods and dead men. |

ok... you are probably right... But are whe then to conclude that Artemis is a medium skilled rogue in comparison to the others. Because that scares me a little. The others would have to be somehing close to mere shadows with blades... |

This has popped up in discussion before, but the presence of the Void Incarnate prestige class in FR leads me to believe that we will never know the identitys of some of the greatest rogues: void incarnates are so good at their profession, in fact, they hardly exist. I'll post this link for further reference, but I'm not entirely certain if I'm allowed to do so. If not, then sorry to the moderators about having to remove this post. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20030418a |

But wouldent you have to assume that the fame tied to their names in our heads isnt present on Faerun? I would guess that if you asked a simple common man who Artemis Entreri is, he wouldnt have the faintest idea. They have made a name in som circles, agreed, but a character as Entreri is very unlikely to be known on the same level as a king or a famous Hero etc... But is it possible to rise to power as a thief or an assassin without being "famous" (infamous) in some layers of society... I dont know. Probably possible, but highly unlikely. |

Bhaal, Cyric, and Mask all made it to godhood.
But probably the best thief is someone you've never heard of, and they like it just that way.
Fame kills rogues. |

HE HE HE HE HE... Sneaky way of using divinity in a conversation. Good thinking. And regarding not having read about the Rogue/Thief/Assassins in question, there is no excuse besides never having heard of them. If you know of their existence, you must immediatly read the books about them. You will not be dissapointed. |
