Shadow Thief Information
ShadowThieves are widely renowned for having
perfected one of the oldest professions known to civilization. Having made
a pact with the Rat God of Thievery, they are gifted with dark magicks to
augment their special combat techniques, the occult arts and of course, all
manner of covert abilities. If you are unfortunate enough to ever see a ShadowThief,
you might find yourself entrapped in a powerful holding spell, targeted by
moderately powerful offensive spells and finding your attacks deflected by
their shadowy layer spell. ShadowThieves are also noted as having utility
spells that create a significant deterrent to chasing them down, either on
foot or via magickal means. All of these powers comfortably empower them to
rob a player blind, then disappear without fear of immediate recourse, since
they are not well-suited for heavy combat situations.

Sarkkan's Comments:
* - To being your training as a shadow thief you need to decide if you want more stealth
or more pickpocketing ability. With some races you need more stealth, others more pickpocketing.
** - With this Vitality advancment you should end up with 8k hps and 3 - 3.5k gps
*** - When moving on to master your covert abilities, you should follow the path you started at the beginning
of your advancment. If you chose to have more pickpocketing ability, continue to follow that path, otherwise
stick with the stealth.
