If you want a thief, then choose a half-ogre feral child. All you need if a Potion Of 
Intelligence. A good maker of things is a Half-Orc idiot savant. Note: You will not be 
able to do some quests as you will not have the intelligence, or be too sickly. Never 
choose an elf or a dwarf as they are not the best for most things. For example, an elf
has low Constitution and a wizard requires lots of Constitution.
