Master of Initiative : After all initiative for the round have been determined, roll 2d6 and select either one.

Thief Skills:
- Climb Surfaces begins at 60%.
- Use Wand starts at 30%.
- All other thieves skills start at 50%.
Modifiers :
- Add Racial modifiers
- Add Dexterity bonus when applicable : +1 = +1%, 2 = +2%, 3 = +3%.
- Add +2% per level : Level 1 = +2%, Level 2 = +4%.
