Excellent points, for me it's about both the sneak attack and out of combat stuff. Priest of Skaen it is I spose (probably a variant of your Schemer's Needle that I saw in the builds list) I think the idea of a former slave realizing that Skaen isn't about revolution/freedom and more about bloody vengeance that destroys slave and master is an interesting concept. iirc PoE priests are more about personal faith than direct divine power. Thanks!

I'm a long time enjoyer of CRPG games and this year I've been really interested in PoE and Deadfire. I've been working my way through the first PoE (slowly I have awful restartitis) and I was wondering if there is a way to make a character similar to how the Cleric/Thief in BG2 played? The combination of divine magic and sneaky combat tricks that the C/T has always appealed to me. I know Skaen priest is likely the answer, but I don't think I can manifest the level of Starscream-ness that it would require to RP without feeling like a ****. Potentially Untroubled Faith would come in handy for a Skaen priest that's on the moral uptick but would that talent fit comfortably into a build? For reference I like to play on PotD and Expert mode so the big issue is getting the playstyle right without horrifically gimping myself. Long story short: Looking to play a Cleric/Thief type character without being cartoonishly evil or ineffectual.
