Khajiit racial stealth bonus

Hail and well met, all.

I'm thinking of changing my Redguard Thief/Assassin character to a Khajiit just for the stealth bonus.

This character just plays Thief/Assassin gameplay, but does that bonus really help with that playstyle, or would I be wasting my free token and needlessly giving up the otherwise, IMHO, superior racial passives of the Redguard?

Thanks for any insight and advice you can give.
Thank you.

Take care,

    It definitely will help. But you might want to just use sets that buff your stealth like Darloc Brae, Night Terror or Night Mother's Embrace instead if you aren't doing that yet.

    Thank you.

    I have enough Night Terror and NME gear to get their stealth bonuses... probably should have mentioned that; sorry.

    So, having those two set bonuses... is the added Khajiit bonus worthwhile for the purely PvE Thief/Assassin stuff, or overkill/ useless at that point?
    Thank you.

    It's by far an overkill. But if you get the bonus from all 3 armors plus the Khajiit racial you can staight up sneak up right in front of people while still being hidden.
    It also allows you to wear Night Silence without sacrificing your stealth.

    You will be much better in pickpocket too, so yeah, if you want to be most effective thief, khajiit is one and only choice.

    You will become almost invisible with all those radius detection decrease.

    Khajiit with 2 sneek sets can walk into guards with a bounty and not get seen.

    And they have higher pick pocket chance.

    Grrr RIP Bosmer. ( we used to share that stealthy passive now my bosmer has to ware 3 sneek sets and still isnt as good as a khajiit in 2 )

    I run three stealth sets on my necro Khajiit. He is definitely less noticed than my nightblade Khajiits that only wear two sets. And this is before he got the Thieves Guild passive that reduces the detection range of witnesses and guards by 10%.

    And the reason that he wears three sets is because he is my only vampire, and he has the Dark Stalker passive, which ignores the speed penalty of Sneak. My non-vampire thieves have to wear Night's Silence for speed. Stealing with the Sneak penalty is not an option for me..... much too slow and inefficient when your primary source of income is theft.

    And I'm also still mad that ZOS trashed the Bosmer race, and I had to retire my main, who was my original thief.
