He's a hacker, not a thief, and he's just one candidate.

And who is the second candidate, besides the Thief? Axel?

Maybe, but without stunning with a shield, it feels a bit off.

Oh, I was also thinking of leveling up the Rogue skill; we can complete the bandit quests together with Arandor!

There's a built-in "Shield Bash" ability when counterattacking, in the Legionnaire skill tree. Or, you can level up, for example, the "Hammer Blow" skill from the Paladin skill tree – the effect is similar to a shield bash.

Are all the characters in the Eastern Coalition so intimidating?

If you're talking about the drawing style, the most important thing for me is to convey the image. In this case, it's the overall mood plus the adopted but modified culture of the Orinarians (or rather, its individual elements); for example, traditional clothing has been replaced with something more "modern" based on foreign production techniques.

Mirabella Lyudenberg. Ilinar, kindergarten, preschool group, evening. The children and teachers are waiting for their parents: some have anticipation of joy on their faces, others – utter exhaustion. - What, were you bored? - a cheerful voice rang out in the room. - Dad, dad! - a little girl rushed to her parent's neck. - And we made sculptures today! I made you, look!
The girl, beaming from ear to ear, shoved a shapeless clay head under her father's nose. - Wow! That really looks like me, what an amazing likeness! We’ll put it above the fireplace so all our guests can come and admire your masterpiece. You’re such a clever girl! - Her father hugged his daughter tightly and patted her on the head. - Okay, now go get dressed; Mom is already preparing dinner, and I'll be right back from work.
- Did you help everyone again and defeat all sorts of enemies?
- Heh. Well, yes, you know me. Today, someone was brought in with... a head injury; it was a nasty ailment, but I cured him.
The girl glanced at her friends and smiled smugly.
- My daddy is a wizard! He's the best in the whole world! - she stuck out her tongue.
- Now, now, don't tease, that's rude. Just tie your shoelaces.
- I don't like laces; they won't stay tied… - the girl said sadly.
- Well, there's nothing for it, learn how to do it; eventually, you'll be able to tie them with your eyes closed using only one hand.
A look of fear flashed across the girl's face at this prospect, and she bit her lip and began clumsily, but diligently, to fiddle with the laces.
- Don't rush, remember. Tighten here, make a loop there…
- Hey, mister! - A disheveled boy pulled on the man’s sleeve. - Are you really… a wizard?!
- Yes, – the adult smiled. - I work nearby, at the ministry.
- Wow!!! - The boy's jaw dropped. - Can you show me something? Pleaseeeeee!
The mage smiled gently.
- What's your name?
- Roland!
- Roland. I would definitely show you some trick, but look, the teacher is getting angry. She can't let us do such things here. You know what? Here, - the man rummaged in his bag and took out a small, intricate crystal with mysterious engravings.
- Huh? Uh... What is that thing? - the boy asked disappointedly. - Is it some kind of decoration?
- Not at all. It's a magic stone; it brings good luck and happiness to its owner. I give it to you.
- Whoa! - The boy perked up again. - That's cool!
The approaching teacher gave Roland a light tap on the head.
- What should I say to the uncle for the gift?
- Ah, well, like, thank you, Uncle!
Other children stirred.
- And me?... And me, a magic stone?..
The teacher snapped at the crowd.
- Surround him, barbarians! Let people get dressed!
- Well, okay, they’re just kids, – the wizard calmed her down. - Next time, I will bring talismans for everyone; it will be a little gift from me.
- Hooray!!! - the kindergarteners cheered.
For a while, there was noise in the hall until the teacher brought everyone back into line.
- How are you doing? Are you getting it? - The father looked at his daughter's work: she had been struggling with a knot she had tied unsuccessfully for the last few minutes. - Looks like I have to…
- No, I almost got it! Everything is fine!
Her father rejoiced that his daughter was so responsible and persistent, then he was pulled on the sleeve again.
- Mister! - called Roland. - Can you shoot fire? Or lightning?!
- I can, Roland. I was trained to do this, - the smile on the mage's face faded slightly.
- Have you ever been to war? You defeated someone there! Probably orcs or elves!
- I have... - the wizard's eyes clouded over. - Yes.
- Cool! Tell me something! Those orcs must be fierce creatures! And the king probably gave you an award! When I grow up, I’ll fight too!
- Fierce?... - the magician said quietly. - No, ordinary ones. Not fiercer than us.
The children were silent.
- Yes, of course. He personally awarded me. With a medal and ribbon.
- Ho-ho, that's cool! When I grow up…
- There was a comrade who served with me, – the wizard didn't pay attention to the boy. - We knew each other since kindergarten, well, about your age. He was a strong fighter. A kind man. He had a family: a wife and three sons. And I wasn't married yet; I hadn't long graduated from training school. We served together and won many victories until luck turned away from me. I got caught in crossfire. Meteors exploded around, pillars of fire rose to the sky; it was hell. I thought I was done for, but he rushed forward and pulled me out. But he took the hit himself. Why?.. I still don't understand. I... - The mage paled. - I tried to put him back together, but I couldn't find all the pieces…
- Dad, I'm done, - his daughter's voice brought the wizard out of painful memories.
Her father started and felt embarrassed when he saw the tense faces of the children around them.
- Well then, uh, he... recovered. And he returned to his family with honors. After that, I also left the war and began healing. It is much more useful, Roland. Imagine if your mother gets sick, and you snap your fingers and heal her. And all your friends. And even the king. So, yes, – the father looked at his daughter’s efforts. - Good job. Put on your jacket, and let's go. Okay, bye everyone!
The father and daughter walked off into the sunset. Nearby, four-year-old Mira, who had been listening to the magician's stories with bated breath, firmly decided that she would become a sorceress when she grew up. But when she grew up, they didn't accept her as a sorceress, so she had to become a humanist and get a government job.

Specialization: melee combat + Ishnadan magic (definitely black magic with a pact, as well as some form of control). Race: probably some kind of elf. Religion: Elulu-Suen. For now, I'm planning something along these lines. I don't know yet if the stats will be enough, but we'll see. Another option: a pure Rosario-worshipping mage (a scholar-mage).

Specializations: Knight, Paladin, Two-Handed Weapons, Suen
Nationality: Kalevrite (domain of Ea)
Religion: Elulu-Suen (surprisingly, isn't it?)

For now, the character seems reasonably decent. At least, on paper. How the situation will change with the release of the patch, and whether it will change for me and the patch will be released, is unknown.

Religion: Elulu-Suen (surprisingly, isn't it?)

Okay, we'll role-play as evil cultists.

My character isn't a villain. Well, at least not at the beginning. And even later, it's not a certainty.

Note: An Assyrian is being formed.

First adjustments, additions, and clarifications.
Magic accuracy = 75% of SP
Endurance stat gives resistance to everything except neutral damage. The resistances themselves cannot exceed the limit of 70%.
Magic resistance does not reduce the effectiveness of non-damaging spells.
Assassin
Stealth
Requires a turn to activate, no cooldown.
Assassination
Melee: attacks made directly from behind deal four times the damage, ignore resistances and armor. Only applicable with one-handed weapons.
REQ: stealth activated or the opponent is unable to react - they are stunned or surrounded.
Ranged: attacks made from the red zone of vision deal two and a half times more damage. Damage does not stack with stealth.

Knowledge of Vital Points
Each attack deals (perception/8)% damage from the target's max HP and dodge/accuracy. When used with onslaught, the effectiveness is four times lower.

Tao-Ryu
Kenjutsu
Cannot be used with heavy armor.
Composure
The character skips a turn and restores 100+(consciousness*2) energy (2)

Iaijutsu
Attacking an unsuspecting opponent deals +1000% damage (3)
ACC = chance to deflect a sudden or stealthy attack using this technique.
REQ: Taoist weapon
*here it implies not so much a stealthy attack, but a sudden one. It can be used for both attacking from behind and during a conversation, etc.

Art of Death
God of Death
Agility+perception/3 = chance to instantly kill the opponent with any attack in melee. (3)
When used with onslaught, the chance is halved.

Hunter
Double damage to the selected race. (1)

Revan, I asked many questions on Skype, but can you answer the main one? Does the effectiveness of Ishnadian magic depend on men

Everything from SP.
