English:Thief · Characters

The rank and file of the Shinobi Thieves — three to five of them in every Thieves Guild tower. Dexterity, Stealth, Thievery and Athletics are the whole character sheet; put one in a straight fight and it dies.

A Thief is an ordinary member of the Shinobi Thieves. They stand around inside the Thieves Guild watchtowers, three to five to a tower, and they are the faction's floor — everyone above them, the Thief Boss included, is a named role.

What they turn into once you join

Talk to the Thief Boss and pay the joining fee, and every Thief in every tower becomes an ally who will step in and fight for you when you are attacked. Nothing else changes about them; the difference is entirely whose side they take.

The character sheet is a specialist's

The numbers say what the faction is for:

SkillLevel
Dexterity47–53
Stealth57–63
Thievery57–63
Athletics67–73
Melee Defence37–43
Melee Attack12–18
Strength / Toughness17–23

Athletics at seventy and Melee Attack at fifteen is not an accident — a Thief is built to enter, take and leave. In a real fight one is worth very little, which is why the towers keep Ninja Guards as well.

They carry a Ninja Blade made by Ancient and wear the standard Ninja Gi / Ninja Mask / Ninja Pants set at [Shoddy] grade, with a 15% chance of [Standard].
