 FOREWORD

Many books have immortalized the exciting exploits of fanovs

and infanous bands of thieves ! Robin Hood and his Merry Men the ,
brigands and highwaynen of Elizabethan England, and the
,
buccaneers of the high seas os well os fantasy counterparts like
.
Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser In the fantasy role playing ( FRP)
, ,
.
rule systens and playing aids published to date however the
class of characters known as Thieves have been consistently
underutilized In nost adventures player thieves, occasionally
nove to tne forefront when a party needs a lock picked or a trap
,
disarmed; but the rest of the tine they function as second-rate,
,
fighters a role for which they have little natural aptitude By
developing roles to cover a wide array of thieving activities,
.
and designing sone different types of scenario situations , we at
Ganelords feel we have overcone these barriers, and have found a
way to capture the excitenent of connittinq the ‘perfect crine *
within the fantasy qaning context .
Thieves Guild is the first of a continuing series of player
and
nedieval underworld
^
'
CfTaiils provItfing rules and
scenarios for adventuring in the
.
Each scenario revolves around the
connission of a crine of sone type ( burglary arned robbery , ,
,
..
nurder , etc ) The player thieves nust 'case ' the scene of the
crine gathering infornation and fornulatinq the plan of attack .
During the actual robbery , they nust renain constantly alert to
avoid the potential perils posea by guards traps and unforeseen , ,
events .
Even after the crine has been committed, the adventure
, ,
is often not conplete for there nay be prisoners to ranson
booty to fence or avenginq pursuers to escape To further their
,
chances of success the thieves nay use gane rules governing
'
.
disguise or special conbat tactics .
The play testing- sessions for Thieves ' Guild indicate that
the scenarios presented herein are "a""IIvery“dnd entertaining
challenqe for snail ( 3-8 player ) playing groups Ue are pleased
to be a61e to offer a single package that provides both rules and
.
,.
scenarios for fantasy qaninq which allows the beginning ganer to
start play alnost immediately However we suspect that we have ,
only scratched the surface of the potential in this area The
additional playing rules provided are of a nature that they can
.
easily be nade compatible with other role -playing systens ( AD&D ,
, ,
C & S Runequest ) to add a new dinension to existing canpaigns .
,
Ue hope to receive feedback and suggestions fron our users so
that future editions can be nade even better .

ADDITIONAL
CQflBATTACTTCS
The general rules of combat are
designed fo deal with situations of
.
face - to -face combat In many cases,
1-20
this is precisely the type of fight
that a thief wants to avoid since it ,
gives the other party such a fair
.
chance to win The foilowing tactics
nay therefore be employed by any
thief to attenpt to improve his
advantage.
1) Backstabbmq
“
.
In “'order to stab an opponent in
the back with a bladed weapon , a
thief nest make Hove Silently rolls
until he reaches a hex adjacent to
the rear of his opponent
,
Having Silently the thief nay move
.
While
his entire novenent allowance Once
,
in position the thief may strike
.
with a +3 to basic hit probability
and a further +4 to Critical Hit
Probability , A successful
backstabbing attenpt does double the
nornal weapon danaqe .
Example: Gudjdrn, an average 1st
level thief , is attempting to
backstab a victim with a dagger ;
he has a HACO of 8 ( instead ot
the vsoal 11) and scores a
critical hit on his onarnored
victim ( ACO ) with a 14 or greater
(rather than the usoal 18 ) He
is successful ( rolling a 12 ) and
.
,
the blow does double the normal
damage for the weapon used;
scored .,
however no critical wound is
For the next melee round ( if the
victim is still alive ) , the thief
loses his special hit probability and
damage bonuses , but his oppinent
cannot strike back due to surprise
.
2 ) Coshinq .
Rosfflnq is a specialized form of
rear attaclc designed to temporarily
disable rather tnan kill a foe The
weapon used is often a blackjack , or
.
some other relatively soft blunt
weapon ( such as a sock filled with
,
sand ) which is intended to concuss
the victim rather than kill him As
in the case of backstabbing a player , .
must successfully hove Silently to
get into position for an attack
blow is then aimed at the back of the
A .

opponent ' s head If successful the
victim is knocked unconscious ( no

depend almost entirely on the

Experience Points (EP) needed to

attain each successive level of
thieving expertise , and identifies
the rewards received at each level.
Experience Points may be obtained
from four basic sources:
1) from participation in combat
situations,
2) through the aeg uisition and
resale of loot trom thieving
activities,
3) from the successful
accomplishment of Ability rolls >
and
4) through encounters
-
non player characters.
EP awards in each category are
summarized below .
1) Combat Awards.
In the Fantasy System , each
player receives EP for the wounds
he/she personally inflicts on foes
during combat . The points owarded
for each hit inflicted differ
according to the rating of the NPCs
or monsters damaged , as follows:
'
Hiahwayman adventures, where this
rule does not apply). Conversely ,
thieves receive double the normal £r
for damage inflicted by a successful
backstabbinq or attack from shadows.
If thieves can convince a foe or foes
to surrender to them , each member of
the successful party receives EP
equivalent to twice the combat EP
that would be awarded if the
vanquished foe had been killed .
(Thus, if an Intermediate fighter
with 32 total HTK surrenders to a
party of thieves, each member of the
party receives 32 x 9 x 2 or 576 EP).
with 2) Experience Awards for Stolen
Goods.
Thieves receive EP from the sale
of goods acquired through theft. The
EP awarded is equal to i/4 of the
price actually paid for a stolen
item ) rather than its stated value.
-
Thus if four player characters steal
a bracelet worth 2000 GP , but sell it
for 1200 GP , the party receives 386
EP to distribute among themselves.
EP for stolen goods is collected at
bedroom))
awards.
experience
ri > to occroe the EP
player may collect
for the first five
successful ability rolls he makes per
day in each skill area (e .g ., he may
receive credit for up to five Hearing
rolls, five Lock Picking rolls, five
applications of emergency First Aid ,
and so in. but will not get EP for
making additional Hearing rolls later
in the same day). Players do not
receive EP for successful saving
rolls (against REF , STH , or other
basic requisites). The game
designers believe that the effects of
making these rolls usually constitute
sufficient personal reward . If,
however, a player's successful saving
roll saves the lives of other party
members, the Gh may choose to make a
special EP award .
4) Encounter EP .
The award of “encounter * EP is
designed to reflect the fact that a
decision NOT to fight or try to rob a
particular group ot NPCs may often be
the wisest choice . Therefore , eoch

GN s Description _

A " loca!H squad of nilitia in
"

the first stages of their training

, .
All but the sergeant are completely
untrained in weapons use , so that
their basic hit probabilities, as
indicated below are below nornal,
Each recruit has a 50 Z chance of
. i

beconing demoralized if wounded I

whereupon he will stop fighting and
.
try to run away This chance renains
regardless of how well the overall
battle is going .
The GH should
renenber that the recruits know next
to nothing about fighting, and are
likely to do any nunber of stupid
things while in conbat The sergeant
will undoubtedly try to keep the men
.
organized if they are attacked but ,
will have little chance of success
( 25 Z probability that any order he
gives will be foil owed ) .

customers .
in the day with cash receipts from
It is rumored that these
couriers are excellent fighters and
that both couriers and cargo are
endowed with magical protection
against potential thievery
In this scenario the player ' s,

by the couriers each week ,
2) to select a point along that
route where a successful armed

committed and ,
3 ) to execute that robbery

the couriers in a single attempt

or thieving prowess, will determine
the outcome .
