Known for picking locks, pickpocketing, disarming traps, stealing treasures and the like, Thieves are not always aligned to evil, but seeing how thievery is illegal in most in-game societies, they are perceived as such. They are often dishonest and untrustworthy, although many Thieves have been perceived as smooth talkers, often relying on wit and tongue to get them out of situations.

Back Stab
Thieves, if able to strike from behind, can do fearsome damage.
Back stab bonuses only are applied if the person is unaware of the thief.
Level | To Hit | To Critical | Damage Multiplier |
---|---|---|---|
1-2 | +4 | +20% | 2x |
3-5 | +4 | +20% | 3x |
6-8 | +4 | +20% | 4x |
9+ | +4 | +20% | 5x |
Note: These bonuses are added to any normal bonuses, e.g. attacking from behind adds +4 to hit and +5% to critical normally. If the thief also wants to go full attack, it would add another +4 to hit and +5% to critical for a total of +12 to hit and +30% to critical.
Note 2: Back stab to hit and % critical bonuses apply to missile fire from behind, but not to the increase in damage. It can be applied to the point blank bonus with bows.
