[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8633018, member: 27385"] The PC could be rather young and that may explain some of the Int/Wis being lower than thought for a noble. Doesn't the older editions have aging bonuses/penalties, where you reach adulthood and your Wisdom goes up? Another thought is that the PC is traveling undercover and the others do not know he will be the King. He could be searching for the McGruffin that saves the kingdom one day, or he may be searching for the assassin among the noble families that poisoned his mother and tried to poison the rest of the family. Being a thief does not mean that he is bad or needs to dress in black all day and pick the pockets of any passerby. He has a different skill set. Sort of like in an army where everyone may have some basic common skills from basic training, everyone goes to a special training where they may be infantry, tanks, doctor, clerk, etc. The kingdom may have a group of thieves in the military that gather information or act as spies. There is a lot of skills that thieves have that round out a party and each unit needs one of these along with the medic and artillery soldiers. [/QUOTE]
