Thief

Members of thieves guild walk about unseen to others, their weapons hidden in concealed sheathes as they hide in shadows of cities. The paths of their life are many; there are those whom only live for the thrill of yet another robbery, striking their victims unconscious only to rob them blind. Others live for mischief and pry priceless items from the body of their victim, only to replace it with a worthless counterfeit replica. And there are those in the guild hall whom disguise themselves as members of other professions only to use the deadly abilities of backstab and circle stab to bloody their weapons in the backs of those who believed they were safe in their guild halls. Whatever their path in life, as the thieves rise in power and experience, many turn to more devious ways of surprising their victims creating intricate traps set about on paths, chests and other location to snare their prey. An aspiring thief may chose a number of traps to learn from various types such as booby traps or mechanism thus customizing their own devious style. Striking from shadows with deadly daggers, or lying patiently in wait for prey to spring a trap, a skilled thief on the prowl is matched by few in arts of surprise and guile.
