Introduction

• Class Tiers: Rogue-Thief-Brigand
• Requirements: 16 agility
• Experience points to level 25: 200 million exp
• Difficulty: Easy

A class who depends on the stealth of autosneak and the ability to hide, Thieves can't really do a lot of damage, even when using the backstab attack. They have the ability to rob other characters, and can spot and disarm traps in some locations. Important statistics for this class are agility for dodging and intelligence for hiding and robbing. Autosneak allows this class freedom of movement that is ideal for exploring new areas. Recommended for the passive player, with a sneaky streak, who's looking for a few extra gold pieces.

Skills and Features

• Rob - Thieves may attempt to rob gold from both players and monsters.
• Sneak - Thieves can enter and leave rooms undetected by sneaking. Autosneak allows them to always sneak with each movment, without typing the command each time. Thieves may sneak consecutively the number of times of their level (ie, A level 10 Thief can sneak ten times in a row.) before they become exhausted. When a Thief sneaks onto a square they can still be seen if a player or monster looks around or enters the square.
• Hide - Hiding makes a Thief invisible to players and monsters on a square. Other characters on the screen may attempt to search for hidden players, with success determined by the race and intelligence of the searcher as compared to the Thief. Any action other than a /me emote cancels the hidden state. The Thief must leave and reenter a room to hide again once they have been revealed.
• Backstab - When hidden and with a dagger-type weapon equipped, a Thief may deal a powerful backstab blow, up to 3 times their normal damage.
• Disarm Traps - Depending on intelligence and level, Thieves have a chance to disarm any hidden traps on a square as they enter it.
