I didn't see one on the forum, so I thought I'd start up a class discussion thread for Dark Souls. Being a bit of a DS newb, I'll start it off with a question - what the heck is the Thief's Master Key?! If it does what I think it does, doesn't that seem a little OP?

The problem isn;t the class for me I need help with the build of that Class. Definately leaning towards Pyromancer of Wanderer (Again).

The key isn't op, I'm pretty sure it doesn't make too much of a difference as you can find more.

-Think I'm going to start off as wanderer or warrior.

Hmm , It's between Pyromancer and Warrior, I like Magic a lot, but I'm properly going to choose Warrior for my first play-through since the melee combat is the most challenging and fun, I'll eventually start the game all over again with new character and that would be either Pyromancer or Sorcerer.

I have no idea what the master key is .

---

Warrior – a fearless warrior and weapon expert with high strength, and dexterity.

Knight – a low-ranking knight with high HP and solid armor that is not easily toppled.

Wanderer – an aimless wanderer with high dexterity that wields a scimitar.

Thief -  a guilt-ridden thief who deals high critical hits and has a Master Key.

Bandit – a savage bandit with high strength and wields a battle axe.

Hunter – a bow-wielding hunter who can handle close-range combat, but is vulnerable to magic.

Sorcerer – casts soul sorceries and from the Dragon School.

Pyromancer – casts fire spells and wields a hand axe.

Cleric – casts healing miracles and wields a mace.

Deprived – unclothed and starts the game with a club and old plank shield.

This.

As long as my character is fast then I'm good.

I'm definitely starting as a theif I love stealth, when I went into 4 with a new faith build I got hit alot since those things could see me from alot farther away and I had no means of counterattacking.

Focus od Dex and STR.

I want a wanderer That class just looks cool! And I love Scimitars.

Deprived sounds HECTIC!

"My personal recommendation: Start as a soldier, increase faith to 12, attunement to 10, learn heal from the cleric at fire link shrine, and find the talisman at fire link shrine. That will give you a good start. From there, if you want to use powerful weapons, focus on Str or Dex, or if you want to use Miracles, focus on Faith. If you want to use magic instead, change faith to int."

Sounds like great advice to me.
