Thief Class | Carrion Fields

Thief

Jump to: Description, Skills, Thief Paths.

There are many different interpretations of being a thief, even among this class's top guildmasters. For that reason, a student of thievery may find different lessons at the guildmasters across Thera. The student may choose to follow one guildmaster exclusively and learn his style completely, or he may choose to take lessons from a combination of guilds. However, it is often noted that the thieves that learn the most deadly skills have put all of their focus into one style. As you progress in one style, you eliminate your options in the other styles.

The styles range from expert pickpockets to clever trappers. Some may use the art of intimidation, while others master poisons. The thief class is one of variety, and you can never tell what types of tricks one may have up his sleeve.

The more popular guilds require membership, but the lesser-travelled guilds allow unfettered entry.

The prime stat of a Thief is Dexterity, and a sampling of possible abilities are: Backstab, Blackjack, Grapple, Detect Hidden, Advanced Picklock, Sneak, Hide, Truss, Knife, Steal, Apply and Concoct poisons, Waylay, Counterfeit, etc.

All races except for the Giant races, Orcs, Wood-Elves, Azure-touched, Dwarves, Minotaurs, Goblins, Saurians, and Centaurs may become thieves.

Paths Top

While every thief guild in Thera teaches the core skills of all thieves, many guildmasters also have specialized training that they offer. When you approach the guildmaster, they will tell you what skill they would be willing to teach you next in their course of specialized training. Due to the nature of the training, you cannot skip over a path skill. You can train an entire path if you desire, or you can mix and match between them. Realize that the more you stray from focusing on a single path, the less you can learn from it.

General Path
