[IF] Non-human thief

This subforum is for discussion of the Iron Falcon Rules for Classic Fantasy Role-Playing. Maybe someday they'll have their own forum, but for now I'm keeping the discussion here.

[IF] Non-human thief

Post by w00kie92 »

Hopefully this is not a noob question:

Is there a downside to being a non-human Thief? The table below the Thief skills seems to imply that non-human Thiefs get bonuses but no penalties.

Why does there need to be a downside?

There probably doesn't have to be a disadvantage, I guess I'm just used to pros and cons coming in pairs :D

that sort of thinking didn't come into role-playing until well after the period Iron Falcon is replicating

In Iron Falcon, thief is the only unlimited advancement class for demi-humans. They get a little more because it's their only choice for a long haul.

Do I know why this is? No. IF is a clone of a specific game, to an arbitrarily high level of fidelity. There are aspects of it I don't understand, even though I wrote it.
