The Companion & Master sets (and thus the BECMI compiled Rules Cyclopedia) use a revised thief skills table that nerfs the poor thief.

Players should not panic (or whine) if their initial scores are not as high as desired, these scores will increase with game play. <br /><br />No matter which technique used for character generation, eventually a player is going to come up with low ability score (s) – this should not be a buzz kill, but an opportunity to add personality to the generated character. A low ability score justifies a character pursuing the unsteady life of an adventurer after a modest level of success at his previous occupation.<br /><br />Low STRENGTH does not have to imply the character is a weakling, but could reflect a prior shoulder or back injury.<br /><br />Low DEXTERITY is not necessarily a lack of coordination, but could represent myopia, vertigo or a knee injury.<br /><br />Low CONSTITUTION could represent a respiratory disease such as asthma or would simulate the lack of emotional fortitude from either phobia or post traumatic stress disorder. <br /><br />Low INTELLIGENCE does not have to imply that a character is a simpleton; it may merely represent illiteracy or overzealous superstition.<br /> <br />Low WISDOM could signify a character struggling with the familiar problems of addiction (alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc.) and is not necessarily a lack of insight or perception. <br /><br />Low CHARISMA does not have to imply that a character is ugly or deformed; it could represent lack of etiquette or an overbearing ego (think of Dr. Cox on the TV show, ‘Scrubs’).Clovis Cithoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208194219083373456noreply@blogger.com
