2024 Character Creation Challenge Day 30
You can read more about the challenge here and here.
Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”
Thief equipment packs incoming! They all have a dagger and at least one blunt weapon (for that backstab bonk), as well as a ranged weapon. From 150 gp and up, Thief also gets a horse so they can serve as quick scouts, messengers, or flee from the dungeon as the sole party survivor. Up to the players!
Although Swords & Wizardry Complete doesn't actually list thieves' tools in the equipment list (neither does the source material), Matt Finch (the author) confirmed to me that all thieves begin play with them (similarly to how Magic-Users begin with free spellbook).
