Rogues
Adept at skills of persuasion, coercion and feats of dexterity, Rogues are often quite quiet, private people. They are good at managing situations and even better at making their escape. In all the lands of Mithrym there are four types of Rogue …
Assassins
An Assassin has spent their life building their body into a strong athletic specimen. While they are not as built as a Fighter, they are strong, fast and able to move silently. They use these skills to quietly and promptly kill. A job for which they are very well paid.
Thieves
A Thief is usually quite wiry and very quick with their hands. They are adept at finding ways into places and especially good at taking things without being seen.
Diplomats
A Diplomat has spent their life learning the art of persuasion. They are popular for use in negotiations between companies and always present for any treaty being made between nations.
Hunters
A Hunter is a solitary Rogue that has chosen to live away from civilisation. They are adept at tracking and very good with animals.
All rogues have a hit dice of: d8
