Rogues or thieves

As u probably know, this is a basic class in many fantasy games.
Used for scouting, disarming traps, for light combat, and of course stealing. fast reflexes and critical hits.

I daresay we need such unit too.
Trainable by default?

Drafts

Maybe as easter egg unit.
I will suggest my stats variant tomorrow.

The current images and descriptions are too alike with the long awaited ranger.

It's a cheap TC unit, multitalented but if I'm not wrong the ranger is different cost and skills

The images will change, make unhouded or female and diff colours but firstly agreement on stats.

I like it but as for 1 ability it can be just a actve "sees invisible units" ability for 2 turns with 4 turns cooldown.

Throw knife doesn't need if uses bow so either melee with short sword and this ability or with bow and without.

Stealth mode must be not a transform but an active ability with some length (3-5 turns) and 6-10 turns cooldown (basically double amount of time it lasts).

Steal must be with some chance can with cooldown (1 turn, 1 attempt per turn) but he won't die on success.

Can't capture tc's.

I prefer if he used his throwing knives, while holding a short sword. An active ability to spot invisible units is good, so long as it mimics a cheaper ranger as little as possible.

Knife throwing is IF holds a bow. (to have melee and pierce attack).
BUT for short blade is good too.

Pussinboots don't worry - a ranger is not a thief.

Make him a halfling, that should solve a lot of problems and it will add to the number of handling we're going to add.

What exactly?

A hobbit. Humans are supposed to be getting hobbits but we hardly have any suggestions for them so I say we turn some of these units into hobbits to compinsate. Same with dwarves we need to change some of their unit ideas into Gnomes.

Yeah I heard Hobbits are supposed to be a thing.

Here's an example, btw should I make separate topics for hobbits or put the ones Im getting ready to make in one? I'm pretty sure separate was the idea.

This is for human rogues.
Any hobbit goes to Mordo... rgh.. i mean different topic.

You want this in, and halflings are known for stealth. You'll have better chances getting the unit in if you change it to halflings since they are supposed to be apart of the human army.

@Alexander82
Is it Hobbits or halflings? or whatever else.

Also I guess a different topic.
