Thieves make their living through their cunning
and uncanny survival instinct.  Though not as
hardy as Warriors or as learned as Mages,
their expertise in the areas of stealth, deceit,
and trickery more than make up for any
shortcomings they might have in other areas.
The expession "nothing is beyond a hungry thief"
contains more than a little truth.
 
From the nimble fingers of a cunning
PILFERER to the silent and deadly blades of
the ASSASSIN, thieves are a common sight in
cities and towns throughout the land.
 
Note: Due to their unwieldy size and
severely limted dexterity,
      Ogres may not be thieves.
