Contents

The Complete Thief's Handbook is a rules supplement for the 2nd edition Player's Handbook which details the thief class, including 18 "kit" subclasses.[1]

Also included is a section on creating a "Lone Wolf;" essentially a one-character class designed using the class creation rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide. A sample Lone Wolf character is included as a demonstration of the process.

Publication history

PHBR2 The Complete Thief's Handbook was written by John Nephew, Carl Sargent, and Douglas Niles, with illustrations by George Barr, and was published by TSR in 1990 as a 128-page book.[1]

Reception

Jolly R. Blackburn reviewed The Complete Fighter's Handbook and The Complete Thief's Handbook in Shadis #4 and said that "Both books offer a wealth of information. Are they worth the price? I would have to say it depends on the individual and the campaign he is playing in. If you find yourself playing certain character classes to the exclusion of others, then these books would probably be greatly appreciated."[2]
