Thief Revised (Patreon)

Today I have a PDF of the revised thief character class. This revision incorporates the resolve mechanic and adds a few more schemes.

A few things to point out:

• The use of resolve hopefully points to how I see the mechanic playing out. It is required for mechanics that you could not reuse until you finished a long rest. For things like schemes, it hopefully encourages creative play by letting you use more than one in a round. That fits my philosophy of keeping characters fun and giving them plenty of options outside of using resolve.

• Notice the reference to exploration actions. When the exploration rules are ready, you'll see that they use a different set of actions than encounters.

• Otherwise, I continue to plug away at the game. I need to revise the cleric to use resolve, and the magic-user work continues. I'm happy that a cleric, thanks to their mix of attacks and cantrips, doesn't need resolve to feel like a functional character with plenty of options. Cracking the magic-user is forcing the character a bit further away from its roots. We'll see where it ends up!
