[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8714183, member: 23751"] The name isn't really relevant here. Thief includes the other archetypes that halflings will fill. Except for those bad apples mentioned that would become the bolded archetypes. All alignments, including LG are supported by this subclass. Yeah. As I mentioned, this is more problematic to fit with LG, but also not relevant. Halflings outside of those bad apples, the LG adventuring rogues, simply pick other subclasses. That priest would in my opinion probably be NG. The good alignment most likely to engage in "the ends justify the means" activities. This is a nothing burger. It doesn't make you a true thief or lawbreaker, nor of an alignment other than LG. Except it ALSO heavily implies that you will simply be an adventurer that doesn't break laws. Which way you go will depend.............................................on alignment. The LG halflings simply won't be lawbreakers or assassins. That should be [U][B]A[/B][/U](not the) common archetype is like Han Solo. Look at Indiana Jones. He's also a rogue, but one who stands against Nazis, rescues damsels in distress and saves archeological pieces from criminals. He is another common archetype of rogue. [/QUOTE]
