Analyze Skie's viability as a thief in Sword of the Sea, including her stats, recruitment, and comparison to other characters.
Skie is a character in Sword of the Sea who could potentially be a decent Thief. To recruit her, you must have Eldoth with you or dispose of him. She possesses great Dexterity, which would make her a capable archer. However, Safana is nearly as good and obtainable much earlier. Montaron and Coran are more versatile and powerful Fighter/Thief combinations, and Imoen can dual-class into a Mage, placing Skie lower on the list of available thieves. Skie has points invested in many thieving skills but is not proficient in any single one. Furthermore, starting at level four, she suffers from low Hit Points (22 out of a possible 28), and by level six, her Hit Points are only 28 out of 42, which is considered laughable.
- Consider recruiting Safana earlier for a similar archer capability with less hassle.
- Montaron, Coran, and Imoen offer more powerful and versatile Fighter/Thief or Mage options.
- Skie's lack of specialization in thieving skills makes her less effective than other companions.
- Be aware of her low Hit Points, especially at lower levels, which can make her vulnerable in combat.
