Baldur's Gate Legacy of Bhaal Difficulty Guide Part 6 - Pickpocketing in Baldur's Gate
I have felt somewhat guilty about using Dynaheir without using Minsc, so before we move on to the titular city of Baldur's Gate I thought it best to reunite them. Letting Dynaheir leave the party to be with Minsc opens up room for Safana to rejoin. By utilizing the Tome of Clear Thought, Safana can increase her intelligence to 17 and allow her to dual class into a mage and fill the vacant arcane caster role. I recommend dual classing Safana at level 5 as Thief level 5 grants THAC0, backstab and saving throws, while mage level 6 grants a point in weapon proficiency and saving throws making it the ideal level to dual class.
Regretfully single class thieves in Baldur's Gate are suboptimal as their low THAC0 makes them unreliable damage dealers. With this party set up we instead split the thief role into 2 multi-class thieves. Coran as a Fighter/Thief provides DPS, lockpicking and trap finding while Safana as a Mage/Thief provides arcane spells, stealth and pickpocket. Even Dual classing at Level 5, a thief will be able to reach the max level for a mage in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition (Level 9).
Unfortunately that means that Safana will lose access to her thief skills for several levels so in this video we're going to let her go a little wild and get it all out of her system. I'll showcase a number of thievery quests that can be completed without violence as well as some excellent gear that can be secured via Pickpocket. Finally, we'll secure the Tome of Clear Thought and unleash Safana's magical potential.
