I have no ideas on what to get for Minor and majors. I would want to be a thief type. Please tell me sign and what minor and majors to get.

Majors:

Light Armor - agility
Short Blade - speed
Sneak - agility
Security - intelligence
Illusion - personality

Minors:

Marksman - agility
Destruction - willpower
Athletics - speed
Acrobatics - strength
Medium armor - endurance

agility 3
speed 2
willpower 1
strength 1
endurance 1
personality 1
intelligence 1
Luck 0

Obviously this build will favor speed and agility as far as multipliers are concerned. Agility and speed will level the quickest, so you can do two things with a birthsign;

Fortifying at the start: The Steed (25 points to speed), or The Lover (25 points to agility)

or

Fortify attributes not associated with your class such as The Lady (25 points to both endurance and personality).

My thoughts anyway.

The simplest thing is to just pick one of the pre-set Classes - Thief, Agent, Acrobat and Nightblade are all good thiefly types.

If you want a custom Thief type character then here's a checklist for the kinds of skills you'll need:

- Stealth skills. This means either Sneak or Illusion, or both.
- Skills to open locks and deal with traps. Security does both. You can also use Alteration (Open spell) on locks and Mysticism (Telekinesis spell) on traps.
- An armor skill. Light Armor or Unarmored help keep the weight of your gear light so you can move faster.
- A way to damage your enemies. It's a good idea to have a melee weapon skill and some kind of ranged attack skill (Marksman, Destruction)
- Skills that help with movement aren't vital but they are very useful. Athletics makes you faster. Acrobatics is good for jumping on obstacles and terrain where enemies can't catch you. Alteration has lots of spells that help with movement (Jump, Slowfall, Levitate, Water-walking, Water-breathing) and Restoration has Fortify Speed.


For Birthsigns consider the Lover, the Shadow, the Steed, the Warrior or the Thief. If you are thief type who uses magic a lot then you might want to use the Mage, the Atronach or the Apprentice. (The Apprentice is nowhere near as bad as it looks. Weakness to Magicka doesn't affect damage from Elemental magic like Fire, Frost, Poison, etc and there are only a few spells that hit with pure Magicka damage, so it's much less of a penalty than it looks. I use it a lot and do just fine.)
