Beat the game as an Imperial Guard (Combat), Praetor (Diplomat) and now I'm exploring the Thief path, mostly as a talker but I have some Sneak/Steal/Lockpick skill.
Barf. Don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll just reload the start of my arrival at Ganezzar and see if Meru's hiring (though my reputation is -2 for the house), screw my Guild.

The Ganezzar TG's quest seems poorly designed for talkers - you don't NEED Traps for any other part of the TG's quest but now you're forced to get at least 4 in Traps or get killed by the bolt traps (unless you can beat the Scorpion but I'm Diplo so). A drop in the pool by this point, but still a potentially unwinnable situation if you weren't hoarding SP
Then the 2nd part of the Castle involves either 9 Lockpick (WTF) or some amount of Str/Dex + 3 Throwing that I don't have (4/8).
And now the shit cherry on the top - Faelen.
This guy apparently never sleeps so no "Sneaking your way in to stab him in bed". You get several choices
1) Eat mushrooms to get into a fight with like 5 Faelens - Nope.
2) Kill your fellow thieves - probably the easiest combat option but I don't think Crossbow 3/Dodge 2 is going to cut it.
3) Try to overpower him with your will, which apparently 9 Int and 7 Cha is not enough but OK, he's a powerful psychic.
4) Do a series of Perception/Dex/Critical Strike series which is probably the closest I can get but I just used up 40 points to get Lockpick to 9 to even progress to this point.
No diplomat actions at all.
