Thieves are just that, thieves. They have the ability to sneak around and hide. At higher levels they even get the ability to camouflage themselves, which allows them to hide from almost every person and mob on the mud. Thieves are also trained in the 'craft' of assassination with their circle and backstab skills. And last but not least: they know how to make powerful poisons. A Thief's prime stat is dexterity.
Player Review by Celest
The Thief has a GREAT ac advantage in the fact that their prime attribute is DEX. It might be argued that a Warrior will hit harder than a Thief, since a Warrior has a higher STR. This is not true, however. Thief specials (BS, Circle) are QUITE nice; they also hit harder than Scalp or Assault, respectively. Granted Scalp has a higher crit chance, but on a non-critical hit, BS hits harder. Also, Thieves (the only other pure physical class -i.e. no mana) get a better chance of extra attacks due to DEX bonus since their DEX is higher than a Warrior's. Thieve can use scrolls, staves, wands, etc. and also get a REAL nice ability in CAM. Thieves have it slightly rough in that they have to go traipsing all over the mud for their poison trainers but that is not a great inconvenience in these days of searching out trainers. Thieves are quite a powerful little class, all in all.
