Some Details
===================
Regarding Skills and Stats
==========================
Stats are very important. The most important primary attribute of each character is the one that is also primary to the specialty. For example if you want a thief who has specialty Locks you should look to find one with high Composure as composure is the primary attribute when calculating skill efficiency.
The rest of the stats are still counting. In fact if you take a thief along in a crime your stats + his stats/2 for each attribute will be the value applied for calculation. So perhaps this should be the second thing to look for when searching for thieves as you could take someone who is stronger at the points your character is weak.
IMPORTANT: If the hired thief has the SAME specialty with you the engine will calculate who is best and only one value will be counted! If the hired thief is better than you its value will count or else your value will count. So adding up thieves of the same specialty don't really help.
