[04:43:29] Samael: I think Mechanical, Stealth and so forth
[04:43:32] Samael: SHOULD be normal skills
[04:43:49] Samael: and when thieves use them, they get to add 1/5 (or 1/10) their Thieving Skill to it
[04:44:05] Samael: that might be too powerful though
[04:44:57] Khatoblepas: What I'd do is make the thieves skills like, nigh supernatural
[04:45:01] Khatoblepas: Like move silently is SILENT
[04:45:08] Khatoblepas: Hide in Shadows is literally melting into shadows
[04:45:21] Khatoblepas: Pick Locks takes a round at most
[04:45:38] Khatoblepas: (where it would take a turn for a locksmith)
[04:45:57] Samael: I'm not sure I'd do that for first level thieves though
[04:46:13] Khatoblepas: Well, they also have shitty scores at 1st level
[04:46:26] Khatoblepas: They'd just be tapping into their full potential
[04:46:28] Samael: Okay so
[04:46:38] Samael: Make them real skills AND the thieves skill
[04:46:43] Samael: and the thieves skill is just BETTER
[04:46:45] Khatoblepas: Yes
[04:46:57] Samael: like how they can Climb straight walls
[04:47:01] Khatoblepas: Yeah
[04:47:04] Khatoblepas: With no handholds
[04:47:35] Samael: I'd say also that Thieves count as trained in all the relevant skills versions, too, for free, yeah?
[04:47:44] Khatoblepas: YEs
[04:47:54] Khatoblepas: Meaning, even if their knack for popping a lock in a round doesn't work
[04:48:04] Khatoblepas: They can still spend ten minutes to do it normally
[04:48:17] Samael: Which.. gets around the re-roll issue
[04:48:31] Samael: it also means that "knock" is a good alternative if there's no party thief
[04:48:32] Samael: but a thief?
[04:48:38] Samael: yeah he can do that shit like its nothing anyway
[04:48:40] Samael: if thats their thing
