Burglar
From Scratchpad
The Burglar is a kit for the Thief. It is one of the most useful kits, giving the Thief not only bonuses to abilities that are useful early on but also the ability to Specialise in some weapons, giving +1 THAC0, +2 Damage and + 1/2 Attack. This kit is especially useful for BGTutu as you start out at Level 1.

[edit] Description
This sort of thief is the consummate Burglar. He is an expert at breaking and entering the most difficult buildings, bypassing walls, locks, traps and guardians, grabbing the best loot, and escaping unnoticed as stealthily as he arrived.
[edit] Special Abilities
- +10% Open Locks
- +10% Find Traps
- +10% Hide In Shadows
- +10% Move Silently
- Can Specialise (++) in Daggers, Darts, and Slings.
[edit] Restrictions
- -20% Pick Pockets.
- -20% Set Traps.
- Gains trap usage at half rate.
[edit] Dual-classing
Burglars seem very suitable for dual-classing. You will reach 100% in Open Locks and Find Traps at approxomately one level lower than normal and you get some useful Specialisations. Mages and Priests benefit from the latter while providing you with something useful to do when you're not stealing/detecting traps. Rangers benefit from the stealth bonuses (i think) and could dual-wield daggers that can poison, hold or inflict sleep on the target (and you can backstab!).
[edit] Notes
Part of the Song and Silence mod.
