Thief-acrobat - any idea who came up with the concept?

[Matthew]

Ha, ha; brilliant.

Giving the thief the option to gain the TA abilities, and keep advancing with the original thief skills with a modified experience point chart may be an option I would allow.

This is what I'd do if I really wanted to incorporate the TA into the game, except that I don't think I'd even modify the xp table. Maybe give it just to humans as a bonus.

I think there's room for some other thief-carnie combinations to spice up your circus-based adventures. Thief-clown, or maybe thief-bearded-lady.

how did I miss this when you first posted it?

awesome, man. well-played.

This begs the question: has anyone run a session with the lamest PC classes being the only permitted?

* Thief-Acrobat
* Bard ["Strum, strum, strum...strum the useless lute!"]
* Accountant (#48)
* Bureaucrat (#74) ["You forgot to fill out the Marching Order forms in triplicate!!"]
* Cavalier (#72; #148)
* Charlatan (#120)
* Idiot (#3)
* Scribe (#62) [His deadly weapon is calligraphy!! "Take that, orc! Save vs. Gothic Fraktur!!!"]

That's a great idea! I was always drawn to the Scribe, Student, Rat-catcher and Jailer type characters in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay but we always had a Troll Slayer/Pit Fighter type of party.

The DM for this extravaganza would have to be that creepy French Mime Marcel Marceau.

The entire thing could be gestural.

* Bard ["Strum, strum, strum...strum the useless lute!"]

The 1e bard isn't lame. He may be impossible to qualify for, but he isn't lame.

Now, the 2e bard... he's lame.
