Truestrike really amps your sneak attack in three ways, first it gives you radiant damage option to bypass resistance, second it adds extra damage and third it lets you buff Intelligence which you are going to want anyway after level 11 so you can use 9th level scrolls reliably.In any case whether you get Truestrike or not, a Thief's schtick is all around their bonus action.  Make sure you have enough equipment that you can always use your bonus:1. Take expertise in Slight of Hand so you can use chains, rope, manacles etc more reliably with your bonus action.  2. Carry lots of Ball Bearings, Caltrops, Torches and Oil.3. Get magic items as fast as possible, here are some good ones by rarity:Uncommon: Pipes of HauntingRare: Wand of Fear, Wand of Paralysis, Mace of TerrorVery Rare: Staff of Thunder and Lightning, Horn of Valhalla</blockquote>
