			You are a hulking, skulking thug waiting
			for your next victim, a dexterous
			wall-climber cozening treasures from
			ostensibly impenetrable vaults, a fleet-footed
			cutpurse outrunning shouting pursuers through
			a crowded market, or a brooding killer stalking
			a difficult target.


			Thieves can be big or small, fast or slow, tall or
			thin, but they all have one thing in common: they
			survive not by sword or spell, but by stealth and
			cunning.


			Hit points: A thief gains 1d6 hit points at each
			level.


			Weapon training: A thief is trained in these
			weapons: blackjack, blowgun, crossbow, dagger,
			dart, garrote, longsword, short sword, sling, and
			staff. Thieves are careful in their choice of armor,
			as it affects the use of their skills.


			Alignment: Although thieves have little regard
			for the laws of civilization, they are not necessarily
			chaotic.


			Lawful thieves are ubiquitous, and they belong
			to institutions of organized crime: guilds of beggars
			who feign illness to fleece the generous, pirate
			gangs that hijack innocent travelers, or organized
			brigands who charge “protection fees” for
			certain routes. They are fences who dispose of
			stolen goods, enforcers who maintain the pecking
			order of the underworld, and petty burglars
			who work their way up to become mob bosses.
			Chaotic thieves operate as independent agents.
			They are assassins and con artists, swindlers
			and sociopaths, or outright murderers and killers.
			They acknowledge no master aside from the
			glint of gold.


			Neutral thieves are double agents: the kindly
			housekeeper who filches valuable baubles while
			the master sleeps, the “inside man” who leaves
			the vault unlocked one night, or the urban spy
			who sells secrets to his court’s enemies.
			Thieves’ Cant: Thieves speak a secret language
			called the cant known only to members of their
			class. This is a spoken language with no written
			alphabet. Teaching the cant to a non-thief is
			punishable by death. Certain double-entendre
			phrases in Common have an alternate meaning
			in the cant and are used by thieves to identify
			their brethren covertly.


			Thieving skills: A thief learns certain skills that
			aid his illicit pursuits. A thief can pick locks, find
			and disable traps, sneak silently, hide in shadows,
			climb sheer surfaces, forge documents, pick
			pockets, handle poison, and read languages.
			The thief’s alignment determines his interests,
			and those interests determine his rate of advancement
			in the various thieving skills. The
			thief receives a bonus to his skills based on level
			and alignment, as shown on table 1-9.


			To use a thief skill, the player rolls d20 and adds
			his modifier. He must beat a DC assigned to
			the task at hand. An easy task is DC 5, while an
			extremely difficult task is DC 20 – for example,
			picking an extraordinarily well crafted lock, or
			picking the pocket of an alert guard. In some
			cases, the judge may make the roll for the character,
			and the result will not be known until
			some trigger event occurs (e.g., a forged document
			may not be truly tested until presented to
			the king’s commissary).


			A thief needs tools to pick locks, find and disable
			traps, climb sheer surfaces, forge documents,
			and handle poisons. A 1st-level thief must purchase
			a set of thieves’ tools that allows him to
			use these skills.


			Lawful thieves (path of the Boss): good with hiding, climbing, disabling traps / bad with forgery, disguise, read languages, poisons

			Neutral thieves (path of the Swindler): good with sneaking, pickpocket, climbing, forgery / bad with backstab, disguise, read languages, poison

			Chaotic thieves (path of the Assassin): good with backstab, disguise, poison / bad with pickpocket, disable trap, forgery, read languages
