Burglar
A stealthy trickster, the Burglar can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken, or damage foes. An unexpected strike from behind by a burglar can stun or trip enemies, allowing others in his party to combine their efforts for a devastating attack.
 
  'You can say Expert Treasure-hunter instead of Burglar if you like. . . .'
The Hobbit, "An Unexpected Party"
  


Available to: Man, Hobbit

Unassuming on his own, a burglar would be wise to not be caught alone.

The Burglar is the class of choice for players that enjoy using cunning and tricks to defeat their opponents. Using concealment, a Burglar can strike from the shadows, taking his opponents unawares. With his wit, a Burglar can show his allies where a foe's weakness lies -- or trap someone in a riddle.

A Burglar's combat style hinges on his ability to outmaneuver and outwit opponents while hitting them where it hurts.
