The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Rogue
Thief
Thieves include blackmailers, burglars, embezzlers, kidnappers, pickpockets, cattle
thieves and many more but most of them tend to be jacks-of-all-trades, willing and
able to take advantage of any money making opportunity that comes along.
In most of the Old World’s cities, thieves are associated with thieves guilds or gangs,
which control and organize criminal activities and help pulling off heists which
would have been impossible to do alone.
