The trick when playing a
backstabbing thief is not to play a
squishy thief. Backstabbers are still warriors of a sort, and character-creation choices should reflect this.
You definitely want to think about investing in Combat Reflexes and Enhanced Dodge . . . worry about damage-boosters like Expert Backstabbing and Weapon Master (Knives) later on. Your priority at the campaign outset is to survive; you don't advance any faster if you do more damage, and you don't advance
at all if you die! Also look at the "blade and shield" melee package, so you'll have better defenses. And think about using quirk points for a combination of higher weapon skills and cash for light-but-good armor.
