Actually like how it does leave a more ‘vague’ description as well so that others can easily open interpret as they wish to play their particular character. With that said, I’ve also liked the way LoTR had named their classes.

The name “elementalist” outlines exactly what that character is about – dealing with the elements. The necromancer deals with death, the guardian with guarding (itself and others through attack and defence).

Thieving is only a small part of what the thief accomplishes as a profession. A similar naming system would see the ranger renamed “zookeeper”, or the warrior renamed “adrenaline junkie”.

The thief profession is so much more than its unique mechanic. I still haven’t worked out what a better name for them would be though.

Plus, seeing as he can use bows, I’ll be playing mine as a Robin Hood type character – steal from the rich and give to the poor.
