Thieving Skills

Almost all zero-level characters learn a few thieving skills. Stealth can often save one’s life where force cannot, and thieving skills can supplement the arts of any class. Bulky armor will penalize or prevent thievery. Those who depend on thievery will desire instruction. Despite the vast number of thieves in every community, few robbers will admit their craft, much less teach it. Apprentice thieves will usually be trained in cities, where victims are plentiful and criminals are often brazen enough to run semi-formal burglary schools. These courses allow characters one extra learning point per month.
