Thief (he prefers “Rogue”) is a halfling that happens to be skilled at manual dexterity. Can he help it that other people are so careless with their possessions?
Personality/Motivation: hief looks out for number one. But in order to do that, he understands that it’s best to look out for the rest of his party, too, so that they’ll in turn look out for him. It’s a dangerous world out there, and you can’t trust anyone. So a little guy like himself (not that there’s anything wrong with that) is best served by surrounding himself with “friends” to keep him safe, in exchange for which he does the same… when someone is watching.
Powers/Tactics: Thief has a magical dagger, and a few applications of poison that he can smear on it for lethal damage if the dagger penetrates the skin. His primary offense, though, is a good defense. By sticking to the shadows, and dodging from spot to spot, he can sneak up on an opponent and really let them have it when their back is turned.
His other primary safeguard is distance. By using his archery, he can keep himself out of harm’s way, and rack up a good number of kills, or at least assists, for the team.
