What exactly is in a thieves tool kit?

[Oberyn]

Or a masterwork one. i would figure there would be picks a metal saw a wood saw some oil and possibly some small bearings or things like that. We had this discussion the other night when my rouge wanted to oil up osme door hinges and saw through some metal bars. Sorry if this isnt quite right for these boars. But id like everyones opinion.

Whatever the rogue happens to need to open locks or disable a device.

Unfortuantely it is not defined at all. There can be lots of things that could be in there, but then the kit starts getting pretty big. I'd suggest just asking you DM if you can get a specific list of what is in yours and then you can add to it between adventures.

If one of the people in your group has Aurora's Wholesale Realms there is a section in there devoted to tools of thievery.

Great minds think alike I guess.

It's like we're sharing one brain!

And the brain cells are fighting for control.
