[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8854436, member: 7030563"] Some things can be attempted by other classes and some can't. The PHB breaks the 1E Theif abilities are broken into primary and secondary abilities. Most of the Primary Abilities are only doable by Thieves and Assasins the exception being finding (but not disarming) traps, which any class can do. The primary abilities are I believe Pick Pockets, Open Locks and Find/Remove Traps. In addition to Thieves, Monks could also open locks, but no other class could. Monks could also use the Thief tables to find (but not disarm) traps, instead of using 1 on a d6 like every character could. The Secondary abilities can mostly be attempted by anyone. The secondary abilities are climb walls, detect noise, Hide in Shadows, Move Silently and Read Languages. Of note there were different types of walls including rough, smooth, slippery and non-slippery, all of which impacted the chance of failure. Some of these walls were only able to be attempted by Thieves. There was another ability to read magic which was neither a primary or secondary ability. That is from memory so some of it could be wrong, but it is pretty close to being correct. [/QUOTE]
