[QUOTE="redrick, post: 6574129, member: 6777696"] Haha, sure, but I doubt my dirtbag climb-in-through-the-window thief would pick up the healer feat. I want the guy to be a team player, but I think his schtick would be more focused on the skullduggery than the healing. So, for instance, sneaking around back and picking the gaoler's pocket while the rest of the party is engaged in combat makes sense — climb over an obstacle at full speed, use sleight of hands as a bonus action, retreat into the shadows and use the hide action to remain undetected the whole time. That seems pretty thiefy and something supported by this class. Except -- that situation has never come up in my game. Good point! What are some examples of this in actual use in games you have played in? Because, again, I'm not questioning its theoretical applicability, I'm just asking, in the course of an adventure that hasn't been custom tailored to the thief subclass, how do you find ways to use it that are fun and interesting?
