[edit] The Burglar

Some cool quote from the LOTR books that talks about burgling! Forsooth!
-Booko McGuy, Guy From The Books.

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. 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.

[edit] Burglar Solo Tactics

Rogues... Agents... Striking fear and malice into the heart of an enemy, burglars favor the dagger and sword above all else. Silence and discretion provide their strength. They employ minor mysticism and dark knowledge of shadow to strike the unsuspecting.

A smart burglar should always strike the first blow and the last, trying to outwit the enemy and attack from behind. Burglars shy away from wearing bulky armor, so must attack hard and fast.

[edit] Burglar Group Tactics

Use lots of stabbing (and run away when you feel like it). Use stealth to avoid the enemys atention and that meen staying alive.
