Thief

Description: The Thief is a light-footed and light-fingered pilferer of gems and treasures. Prefering to avoid entanglement with the authorities, the Thief seeks out long-forgotten treasure maps and ruined cities, searching for lost treasure. With flashing daggers and speedy feet, he can defend himself from smaller monsters and characters, but is ill-suited to fighting larger foes on his own.

Designer's notes:

Although he has great special abilities for looting, these are offset by having no weapon and no Fight chits above L, also most of the natives on the board are unfriendly or enemies due to his tendency to get in trouble with authority. His chits are mainly focused on running away, with a few M chits to carry treasures. He has just enough gold to hire a Rogue or two if they are not all killed off by the other players - this seems consistent with the Fafherd or Conan idea - talk a mercenary into going after a treasure with you.
