In later games, Thieves gain certain new improvements to further differentiate themselves from Fighters. Since their conception, the Thief's trademark ability has been searching chests for locks or traps, and bypass said ones to acquire the treasure within without the rest of the party suffering consequences. Their available equipment isn't as strong as that of a Fighter, Lord, or Samurai, and their AC and damage dealing capabilities place him behind the meat shield, not in the midst of it. This makes them competent fighters, but less than respectable front row fodder. They are capable of using bladed weapons and leather armor, in ways superior to Mages, and Priests.

It’s a bitterly cold winter, and there is a coal shortage. WWII has ended and Britain’s economy is floundering. The bits that occurred in the past, I loved. I struggled with the present day portion of the book because I wasn’t sure it actually added anything to the story. The novel occurs in two time periods: shortly after WWII and in the present day. I enjoyed The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding by Jennifer Robson, mostly because it tackles a subject that is dear to my heart: why is traditionally-female created art (think quilting, embroidering, knitting) labeled “a craft” and of less than value than male-produced art?
