I played Polmier a long long time ago, you can look him up on the battlefield.
Blackjack is what holds them in place and size matters.
Once you get all of your city ties skills mastered, steal does not miss very often (1 in 10).
You will need to go full city ties path though.
I stole from everyone and everything.
Not when you die, you will be full looted, but I have played since the beginning so I am use to full loots.
I had a lot of fun but it is not for everyone. Need to avoid those that can see you (assassins, etc.).
Do not get baited into fights. While acrobatics will save your life, it is for defense and getting away.
Not fighting.
