What is key for creating a good thief or assassin? What race, sign, and class is the best? Also, any mods that enhance playing as a thief or assassin would be appreciated?

Thanks.

Bosmer, Khajiit, Argonian. However, you can be whatever race you want and still have an awesome thief/assassin/sneaky character.
REMEMBER! races get bonuses. NOT penalties! meaning, your Nord assassin will be just as powerful as your Khajiit one, its all
in how the skills are augmented. I recommend using your own made classes because the base ones SUCK! ... yeah, that is all.

EXAMPLE:

Nord assassin level 5
Major skills:
Longsword 60
Marksman 56
Sneak 45
Security 43
Med.Armor 50

Bosmer assassin level 5
Major skills:
Shortsword 47
Marksman 68
Light Armor 46
Sneak 51
Security 38

i chose skeleton race from the skeleton race mod

race: skeleton
sign: the ritual
class: assassin

i usualy wear glass with no helmet and use a silver shortsword. trying to find a daedric shortsword.

Use custom classes with major skills like security, sneak, marksman, short blade and light armor etcetc. Khajiits, Argonians and Bosmers get bonuses for skills useful for thieves / assassins, but you can be whatever race you want and still make it work.

well there are a couple of ways
you could go with an bosomer then beef up his skills but the best way to do it is to get the tower as the birth sign then go unlock doors lv50 at lvl 1

Created my own race, the Grim Elf (using the skin from Ebony Rose & one hair style from Qarl)

All base attributes set to 40
Female height 90 & weight 85 (no males)

Skill bonus: (no magix or weapons)
Acrobatics 10
Athletics 10
Sneak 10
Hand to Hand 10

Spells: Jump 60 secs @ 20
Abilities: resist Common Disease & Poison 75, resist Blight & Corprus Disease 50
Powers: Water Breathing 180

Birthsign: The Shadow, gives Invisibility 60 but i upped it to 120

I dont select a class, i select Stealth, Strength & Endurance & then Marksman, Longsword, Shortsword, Spear & Armourer.

The idea is that my race comes from a land far far away that have little knowledge of weapons & magix & live in their natural surroundings, hence the chosen attributes, not selecting a class i can make up for weapon bonus's, i dont choose any magix.

Race-Khajiit
Class-Thief
Sign-Steed

A good name for a Khajiit will be Doriq'riv
