I'm playing through Gothic 2 right now and I just had a few questions. Mostly deal with LP since it's a rare and precious commodity.

1.) I decided to be a sneak-thief mage this run. What's the dexterity cap for pickpocketing?

2.) Since runes are pretty rare, which spells are worth getting? Nothing that uses the magic wand mana refill feature. I tried that goblin skeleton stuff on my last playthrough and I didn't find it all that useful (or fun).

3.) Which hunting skills are worth getting? I'm probably going with the hunter for my character's apprenticeship and that skinning is a must, which is fine. But how about the other trophy skills? Which ones would be the best to get? Best bang for your LP investment, so to speak.

4.) Being a sneak-thief mage, would it be a better LP investment to get the Dexterity stat potion or mana? Should I just get both?

5.) Acrobatics, is it worth it?

Any answer would help a lot. Thanks!

Ok so lets begin one by one

1. I dont know for sure, but higher you Dex it is less likely to fail on pickpocketing, but if i remember correctly with 60 Dex you can pickpocket everyone.

2. Any spell you consider usefull you should buy or take, like the turn into creature one's, Fire rain, and even shrink spell that has a hylarious effect on dragons and on the black troll!

3. I did not played as hunter in any of my playthroughs bcs it is not a good LP run and in the middle game its useless as a way of earning gold, but if you really want, you can learn most of the habilities with hunters, like remove horn of shadowbeast, and later on even dragon scales and blood.

4.Being a mage i would advise you full mana, you will need to cast some powerfull spell later on!

5.Totally worth it for a mage!
Hear me out:
You dont need to spend any LP on Dex
You will get acrobats when you reach 90 skill on DEX, or more through a bonus or training.
You can pray to innos as a non-magician so +10 skill in Dex
you can find some potions on the game and buy as well like +12 skill
You can eat globin berries you find so +16 of them (SAVE ONE OF THEM DONT EAT ALL)
And read all stone tablets for Dex that is +24 Dex
So you better get a map with all locations for that items
Now you will have 72 skill points on Dex without spending points
For now you will need 2 skill rings for Dex, Each giving 5 skill, a skill belt for 10 dex and last but not least a amulet of agility +10 Dex

Now you have 102 Dex eat the Last globin berry and you get the acrobatic bonus, so with all together the temporary bonuses and the total of the permanent skill points you achieved you will have more than 90+ in Dex
