Thief Occupational Keywords
By Ian Thomson and Greg Stafford
Additional ideas by Stephen Martin
Based on material by Greg Stafford and Anders Swenson
You are a thief, with all the implications of that status. You steal, swindle, enforce, or
commit other types of crimes to provide a living for yourself. You are a member of a criminal
ring or family. You have proven your loyalty through years of service and silence. Thus, you
are a full member of the ring, not one of the riff-raff who do the dirty work, foolishly
believing themselves to be thieves. You have been taught the name and magic of the thief who
founded your ring.
