Traps are vaguely planned but the exact details are (to my knowledge) not set. There was at least on thread on ideas for the traps, but no consensus was reached that I remember.
- Will putting more points in the stealth talent make it less likely for enemies to spot me? Currently I'm finding it almost impossible to surprise and backstab enemies.
Again, there was a thread a ways back that was discussed in. Increasing your stealth talent and cunning will help. :D
- Is there anything Rogues have that Shadowspell-whatsits don't? Seems like a slightly weaker version of that class in a way, but the lower number of talent pools helps to focus on specialising in the combat stuff.
Until traps are in the rogues have are essentially a limited shadowblade with some higher masteries in some categories.

Well, that guy didn't last long anyway - got overconfident against a vault of creatures that were 3 times my level.

And on generating a slinger I got greeted with this on the first level of the trollshaws:

Hobbit's Luck, indeed! By some miracle I did manage to survive, though it meant running around and getting 3 more trolls on my tail.

Quick dumb newbie question:

I have lost the pretty green box around my character and ugly red box around the enemies. How do I get them back?

Press the capital 'T' to turn "tactics" mode back on. Also, if the screen of commands vanishes, just hit "PageDown" a couple of times and it will return.

Thanks Taxorgian! :)

Another dumb question:
How do you fire arrows/slings? I can't find a fire/throw command... do I need to have a specific skill first?

You guessed it in one! You can ask in the spoiler forum if you want to know how to get it.

Thanks... minor snag. Now I have learned the skill (category) I still can't figure out how to shoot arrows. Help!

You have to use the 'Shoot'talent.
