====== Thieves ====== {{classes:thief.base.151.png|}} Trained to be a thief from a young age, you've learned to [[:skills:stealing|steal]] and you're familiar with the value a fence will give you on your "finds". You've had some weaponry training, including [[:skills:missile_weapons|archery]] ; this being advisable to someone who is likely to have acrimonious disagreements about the ownership of valuable objects. You've had no time for either [[:spells:praying|religious]] devotion or the study of [[:spells:wizardry|magecraft]] , but your quick wits have been enough to keep you alive so far. The thief is selectable by players as their [[:classes|class]] .

Bargaining also happens to be the most expensive skill scroll in the game to purchase by a significant margin, meaning it usually won't be accessible to other classes for a long time. They're potentially a useful early game pick, albeit one that starts without spells. They've got a rather distinct look with their green cape and cowboy hats. Note that they do also appear as enemies, so make sure your party doesn't confuse you for enemy thieves. ===== See Also ===== * Classes : [[Ninjas]] * Races : [[:races:Halfling]] * Religion : [[:gods:Lythander]]
