Thief > all of the other classes

Assassin
Rogues
Scouts

Thiefs are not like those though, just base class. He can use steal, lock picking and stealth to catch up to one or two foes

>steal every item
>never use them

I'm actually so damn glad people make these >get 99 elixirs >never use them Posts because now I actually burn through items like they're about to expire and all my RPGs have been a lot more fun.

Thief > all other jobs in real life.

Thief
Always

>Not going maximum DPS class in every game

Thief is not a class. it's just a side stuff that only a warrior can do properly.

Thief is a literal gimmick

Posting my shitty oc class system

>Martial catalogue
-Melee stuff (knife skills, sword skills, Shield skills etc)
-Ranged stuff (guns, bows, crossbows etc)
-Utility stuff (engineering, alchemy, sneaky etc)

>Magic catalogue
-Matter (elemental stuff, transforming stuff etc)
-Soul (Chi, holy stuff, spirit stuff etc)
-Void (anti magic stuff, space/time stuff, hexes etc)

idk figure people mix and match like 3 skill trees from across the catalogues to make their custom class. Like someone wants to be a necromancer they can just take skill trees from soul shit and can mix it with a big sword if they want, or just more magic.

fucking hate generic terms like "thief" and "Rogue" when the class really plays more like a ninja assassin 99% of the time.

>thief class

No RPG has thieves as fun as Elminage, where you can literally steal bolts of lightning or even abstract concepts.

Cleric is the best class

>dexterity
You're not a pole dancer. Even INT makes more sense. You won't be able to steal any valuables without a strong grip, that's for sure. And then again, you'll have to carry a lot of heavy stuff on yourself, since you're a "thief". So yeah, STR makes much more sense here.
>finese
Every class have that.

Both ninjas and assassins did steal stuff every now and then as part of their jobs.

daredevil > thief

Actually, Final Fantasy Tactics does. You can literally steal a person's faith, bravery, loyalty and magical capabilities.

captain america > daredevil

>Mages cant use armour or weapons
>Clerics and Paladins are seperate classes
>Ranger is actually just an archer, forced to have a pet
>Thief is just an assassin

>DEX is the stealth stat
Imagine having never cleaved someone in half stealthily, getting a drop kill by just falling on an enemy with your mass, or lockpick by tearing the lock off. STR stealth is best stealth

My thief in D&D always has max strength too. Nothing says you can't be stealthy and strong.

I like the power fantasy and this kind of aestetics of the thief class. Too bad no game except the Thief games capture it.

Or the worse offender,

What is your favorite warrior subclass?

If a knight steals things he is a thief, if he were to be without a lord he would be a rogue.

what im trying to say is that the names bother me in how broad they are when usually the class they're stuck to is specific playstyle that could be more aptly named.

How does your Thiefs 'always' have max strength? I thought d&d stats were about dice rolling.

Something like Man-At-Arms. More of a soldier archetype that is not as strong as an individual fighter but is good at organized military, rank and file/formation fighting and commanding others while at the same time dishing out appropriate amounts of punishment. Str/Int but not a spellcaster.

all of those would be loud

Dodging and using your offhand gun to shoot them in the face. That is presuming their tendons aren't already ruptured, of course. What a plebeian question.

Most fantasy rpgs emulate setting of medieval Europe. There were neither ninjas nor assassins roaming the streets back then. Sneaky dudes that sliced men's throats in backalleys were referred asthieves or thugs.

How would you reload them?

Thief is an excellent utility class which typically make games solely focused on it's performance very enjoyable. However when it needs to share the spotlight with various classes, the number of utilities the game can implement is more limited in order to work on each class' basic stuff. Really that's true of any class. But I'd say thief and mage suffer the most from it, though typically magic gets more attention due to being eye catching.

Realistically, just slot one in a holster and use both hands to reload the other.

How do you remain stealthy while having muscles tho

Yeah your big warrior brain makes it too hard to think critically. You sure are correct now that ive spelled a word incorrectly.

>ive
INT is not a dump stat.

I used to save items too but then I figured some time ago that it's no use saving anything for "later use" unless you need a combination or something. It's much more fun to use all the stuff. However in many games it's just a waste of time to use anything else than healing items or damage boosting items, since the best way to play any game is to kill enemies as fast as possible. Using damage items isn't usually worth the time over to just running towards the enemy and killing it

I pop those on bosses but I mainly just meant health and mana potions. No reason to hold onto those forever

Sez you. I make lots of friends. Sometimes new friends want me to smash old friends. Head hurt so I smash em all. Then I find more friends

Thief is only good if you can steal the opponent's weapon right out of their hand.

I gotta admit, there's nothing more fun than a sneaky, witty CHA build thief.

In video games this is usually the case but only because casters typically don't do anything other than throw fireballs and fighters don't do anything other than swing swords. Thieves at least usually get simple utility/flavor mechanics in lockpicking and pickpocketing and such. Making interesting combat/magic mechanics is way harder so the other archetypes usually get the shaft.

There are very few games where the Jack of All Trades gets a satisfying end game compared to those who dedicate to a single branch or even just double classing. It's good for a protag in a party based system, provided he gets something to set him apart, but in a single player game it is almost never worth it.

This is because too many games have absurd inflated health pools and shitty attacks that scale off of stats. This is why RPGs that have very slight stat scaling are best. After all, in real life a 15 year old who shoots a man in the head is just as deadly as a 30 year old who shoots a man in the head.

So many goddamn games make status effects useless that I never use fucking anything unless someone explicitly tells me they DO work on everything. Fuck every Square, Enix, Atlus, etc JRPG.

>Atlus
But buffs/debuffs are extremely useful and important in SMT games.

Play Etrian Odyssey. The ailment-based classes actually work well in that series.

Battlemage was my first serious oblivion run, good times.

My problem is that I always gravitate toward the rogue characters, but I like being rogue myself. So I end up with two squishies and get pounded in combat situations cuz every video game ever rewards going heavy on tanks
