  INTRODUCTION
  This supplement provides additional options  for Thief-class characters for use with the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing 
  Game rules.  If you do not already have a copy of the Basic Fantasy RPG rules, please visit the website and download 
  a copy.
  Effects of Armor
  This variant allows Thieves to use any kind of armor or 
  shield,  but  applies  adjustments  to  their  Thief  abilities 
  based on what sort of armor is employed.  Leather armor 
  is the “default” type of armor, and applies no bonus or 
  penalty to a Thief wearing such armor.  Otherwise:
  • wearing no armor imparts a 10% bonus
  • wearing chain imparts a 20% penalty
  • wearing plate imparts a 40% penalty
  • wearing a shield imparts 10% penalty (cumulative 
  with other penalties above).
  Ability Bonus or Penalty Adjustments
  Each Thief ability is governed by an ability score (as given 
  below).  Add to each Thief ability the relevant ability 
  score modifier times five (i.e. +1 gives +5%, +2 gives 
  +10%, and so on).
  The  dominant  ability  scores  for  Thief  abilities  are  as 
  follows:
  Thief Abilities
  Ability Score
  Open Locks, Pick Pockets, Move Silently Dexterity
  Remove Traps, Hide
  Intelligence
  Listen
  Wisdom
  Climb
  Strength
  Sneak Attack Adjustment
  To  increase  the  effectiveness  of  high-level  Thief 
  characters, the GM may wish to grant triple Sneak Attack 
  damage to Thieves of 9th and higher level.
  Racial Adjustments
  Characters  of  differing  races  may  have  differing 
  proficiency at the various Thief abilities.  To represent 
  this, the following table may be used.  Note that this table 
  includes both Core Rules races as well as races from the 
  Olde Dungeoneer's Almanack.
