Despite his utility, Rennac has many disadvantages. His availability is much lower than [[Colm]]'s, so his utility is also lower. Stealing is more valuable in the early game, because the player has access to fewer keys. ''The Sacred Stones'' offers many keys to the player for free, so thief utility is seldom significant. When Rennac joins, he often has nothing to do unless the player prefers to use lockpicks over keys. | Despite his utility, Rennac has many disadvantages.

Rennac's combat is decent, because his speed is high enough to double. The problem is that he can only use swords, and swords are the worst melee weapon type in the game. There | Rennac's combat is decent, because his speed is high enough to double. The problem is that he can only use swords, and swords are the worst melee weapon type in the game, (This is opinion,). There only three 2-range options for sword users, the [[Light Brand]], the [[Runesword]], and the [[Wind Sword]], and many enemies use lances. Because of this, Rennac will often get attacked by ranged enemies, and he cannot counter them for lack of these weapons. His durability is decent, but not amazing, so he cannot perform tanking duties, either. | ||
Another disadvantage of Rennac is that he lacks a mount. Mounted units dominate ''The Sacred Stones'' because of their high movement. They also have access to 1-2 range through lances and axes. Rennac has none of these benefits and cannot receive them from any source. | Another disadvantage of Rennac is that he lacks a mount.

Rennac has none of these benefits and cannot receive them from any source but can have the [[Boots]] instead if you don't use it on someone else. | ||
Rennac also suffers from redundancy. Deploying two thieves is almost never necessary except for the desert chapter. In that chapter, Rennac is useful because he and Colm can cover more ground together. But in other chapters, there is little Rennac can do that Colm cannot. Colm also has a significant availability advantage. In the average playthrough, Colm will help the player much more than Rennac. | Rennac also suffers from redundancy.

The player can replace Colm with Rennac once the latter joins. Rennac will have higher stats on average, and [[Rogue]]s do not need lockpicks to open doors and chests. Even so, the high number of [[Door Key]]s and [[Chest Key]]s in ''The Sacred Stones'' calls Rennac's usefulness into question. Using mounted units with keys is often faster than having Rennac open everything. | The player can replace Colm with Rennac once the latter joins.

One interesting option is to make Colm an assassin and use Rennac as the primary stealing and unlocking guy. | |||
