This entry presents example pickpocket characters, which is fairly specialized when compared to a Theif adept, but they don't have the advantage of a Discipline, thus specialization is important.
It should be obvious this archetype does not present much of a combat challenge. At all. But they can potentially give adepts a run for their money in the right situations. The skills provided aren't intended to be exhaustive and any given example character will likely have other skills to round them out (such as artisan, knowledge, language, and potentially other professional skills).
All example characters are assumed to be human as a default. However, at the end racial templates are provided. The goal for applying the templates is not complete verisimilitude, but to maintain a rough equivalence between them. Emphasis on rough.
As well, their equipment can be exchanged for whatever is most appropriate for the setting. No blood charms or healing aids have been included - keeping it simple is the goal.
If there are any non-magical archetypes that would be valuable, leave a comment and let me know. As well with comments on the content and format. This is less an exercise in playing with the system and more about making something useful for the community.
