My ideas for thieves were thus:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d8 hit dice. (I had intended to swap clerics to d6 and move them off the healer-tank as well).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sneak attack replacing backstab. adds an extra +d6 based equal to the backstab multipler.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Adding Evasion, Defensive Roll, and Uncanny Dodge to boost the Thieves' defensive abilities.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow Thieves to use the Missile to-hit when using small weapons (knives, daggers, short swords, saps)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allowing Thieves to pick some additional Thief Skills (escape bonds, detect magic). Really considered rebalancing the whole thief skill progression to start higher and have a shallower climb. A low-level thief would start with skills in the 30s or 40s, not the teens.</li> </ul>Obviously, the project was long abandoned, dying before 3.5 ever made it to print. But just a few suggestions if you do ever make a new Thief Class.</blockquote>
