Ideas

Ran across an old file from 11/06/2001 with these ideas...

Mug-where you can take everything off a mob without having to completely
kill them

A Duel Bacstab-two bacstabs at the beggining of a fight

A x6 Multiplyer at lvl 30-self explanitory

Slip-the thief would be able to give items to ppl without anyone else seeing
it happen

Pickpocket-an upgrade to steal, way more efficient though,the thief would
be able to sleal larger amounts of gold and items without being detected by
the mob these would add power and more secrecy thiefyness to the thief class
also better thief eq would be nice

How about something like Feign Death?  Something like you pretend to die, so
the mob stops attacking or my hit the next person in teh room, IE yer other
group member Perhaps cruel but helpful for soloing no?

  Most of those things have been suggested already, with i think the
exclusion
of pickpocket.  That is nothing against you, you may not have read some of the
early posts, however I don't seem to recall the immortal position on these
ideas :(.  Has there been one yet?  Oh and along with Slip you forgot Palm
where you pick something off the ground without being seen another skill i
would love to see put in :)

I like the idea of dual backstab, but I think that upon remorting
thieves should have two attacks.  Granted, we have two with
stab, but "since everyone else can have it, why can't we?"
Since thieves have very few skills as it is perhaps the imms (uh, oh yeah
that's me too) should think about this?
