Another new one

I haven't been to the lands in four years or so and the years I've spent playing have been using a sorceror..so this is my first time actually using a rogue. I'm going for the THW, ambushing, picking kind of rogue.

I don't plan to train in magic any time soon. I'm having a pretty hard time without spells though at level 5.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You shouldn't have too tough of a time without spells, the only ones you would have right now is probably 401 anyways. It's only +5 to DS. Training in spells does reduce your redux ability too, I'm not sure how much though.

is there really a point to 1x hiding?

If you want to suck, yes.

You're allowed 1 penalty-free spell I believe every 20 levels for redux. After that, each spell reduces it somewhat - not sure entirely how much - but redux is automatically 0% if you 2x in spells.

To ambush? I seriously have no clue. What do you suggest to do?

P.S. My rogue is doing a lot better since some kind soul in the Landing gave him 2x leathers and a claidhmore...boy those things are fun.

Rogues should 2x hiding minimum, 3x if you're awesome. Same with perception, disarming, picking locks, and dodging. 2x at least, 3x if you want to show people you mean business.
