A master of tricks and bewilderment, the Burglar excels at evading the ire of their enemies. They rely on their mastery of remaining unseen, using their array of Tricks to confuse and weaken their foes. Preferring to attack from behind, the Burglar is learned in the art of twisting their enemy's will to yield to their own. They draw their strength from revealing an enemy's weaknesses and exploiting their openings to their fullest advantage. Additionally, the Burglar demonstrates great prowess in the art of Crowd Control, enabling them to mesmerize enemies considerably, buying them and their Fellowship ample time to devise their next move. Most importantly, the Burglar is the only member of a Fellowship that can forcefully initiate a Fellowship Maneuver: a special chaining sequence that provides unique Fellowship-wide benefits. While quite adept at standing toe-to-toe with their enemies, the Burglar thrives most in the company of more provocative Fellows, allowing them to bide their time, slowly bringing their opponent to his knees.
Is this the class for me?
The Burglar will be the class of choice for players who enjoy using cunning and tricks to defeat their opponents. Using stealth, a Burglar can strike from the shadows, taking his opponents unawares. A Burglar can blind foes by tossing dust in their eyes, or befuddle someone with a riddle. A Burglar's combat style hinges on his ability to outmaneuver and outwit his opponents while hitting them where it hurts
The best Burglars are active, and the more active they are, the more class traits they unlock. Use your Burglar skills as much as possible to unlock the traits that directly modify your class skills, providing more raw power than most race and virtue traits. After you have a few class traits, you can customize your abilities to your play style and develop a more unique Burglar.
Initially, when you unlock your first few class trait slots, you probably won't have many choices to fill; put whatever traits you have in the slots. Even these will prove advantageous. As you achieve more and more traits, you'll power up your Burglar, and no one will ever mistake you for a common thief again.
