Thieves' SkillsThieves will spend their career learning skills focused on stealing, moving silently, and fast, deadly combat skills. They learn their skills in local guilds and training grounds, from the powerful tomes of learning. When a thief finds the tome of the skill he is searching for, he will read from it to recieve the knowledge of the skill. After then, his knowledge will improve as he advances in experience levels (refer to the intelligence chart). The chart below shows thieves' limitations to learning skills.
**Max % to know skill is the maximum percent chance that thieves can have to successfully use a skill (never 100%). Maximum and Minimum % gain per level is the most and least percent of the skill's knowledge you can gain per level, determined within this range by your intelligence.
The chart below shows the skills and it's attributes in order of which level the thief can learn the skill. This chart is given to allow thieves to compare the statistics of their skills conveniently and with greater ease then reading from the skill's master list.
