Guardian

by Håvard

As Thief, except as follows:

• Nithian Cultural Limitations:
• Illiteracy: Nithian characters must spend a skill slot in order to learn how to read and write. (This is a modification of the rule in the HW boxed set)
• Armor Limitation: may not use any armor that gives an AC better than 5 (not including bonuses for Dex, magic or skills).
• Cultural Weapons limitation: Nithians are limited to using the weapons associated with their culture.
• +10% to Find Traps
• +10% to Remove Traps
• If failing to remove a trap, he may roll 1d20 below his level to avoid any adverse effect.
• Set Trap. Same chance as Remove Trap. If the check fails, the character must make a Dex check or he is caught in his own trap.
• Trip Wires, alarms and Shadow illusions. Use Set Trap skill, but chance to make such devices is easier.
• Recommended Skills: N/A
• Limitations:
• -1 to all to Hit Rolls

Notes: Like with the Lock Master, I think the attack roll penalty is too harsh. Also, the trip wire ability isn't really properly explained.
