A stealthling is a person who is skilled with the ability to move stealthily and with great skill. They are normally Lawful, do not steal, but are able to pick locks and have slight of hand for various purposes. They are almost always taught by another Stealthling or have been thieves in their past.
A thief is the flipside of a stealthling in regards to their alignment, for they are usually the unlawful stealers of others wealth or goods. They skulk and sneak rather than move silently. They may have been taught by their parent(s) or a guild or even become self-taught.
Stealthling will be the term used for either type, and is almost interchangeable in regards to their abilities and XP requirements. Assume unless stated otherwise that Stealthling also refers to Thief.
A typical stealthling is of a dextrous nature and very alert. Hearing and sight are extremely important senses, followed by smell and touch. Languages are useful too, as is a knowledge of gems and the market prices of objects and goods.
Only a stealthling whose mentor is at least three Levels higher and has the Spider Climb ability can obtain Spider Climb ability from them. I.e. a guild thief or stealthling could, but a common street pickpocket or thief could not. Spider Climb must be trained and takes a considerably long time to learn.
Stealthlings commonly have Daggership or concealable weapon skills, and carry the necessary equipment with which to perform their tasks and abilities. In addition to normal XP gained for mêlée weapons stealthlings also gain the Weapon Use Bonus that applies to all classes.
The nefarious nature of thieves often makes them suspicious in nature and weary when in close proximity to officials of the law or figures of authority. Stealthlings normally do not suffer this attitude.
Common deities worshipped by Stealthlings include: Trador.
Lesser-worshipped deities include: Annella
