[Thief Skills Chance of Success]

• Climb sheer surfaces (CS): Roll for every 100' climbed, failure means falling from the halfway point (and taking fall damage).
• Find or remove treasure traps (TR): Roll once to find and again to remove, each may only be attempted once per trap.
• Hear noise (HN): Improved listening (at doors, etc.) in quiet areas (not in combat), uses 1d6.
• Hide in shadows (HS): Must stand still, can't be done while attacking or moving.
• Move silently (MS): Sneak past enemies unnoticed.
• Open locks (OL): Need thieves' tools, can only be tried once per lock. On a fail, can't try again until next XP level.
• Pick pockets (PP): -5% chance for each level target is above 5th, minimum 1% chance of failure. If failed roll is more than 2x the skill, the theft is noticed.

Use Scroll

From 10th level, 90% chance to cast arcane spells from scrolls.

• On a fail, a strange or harmful effect is created instead.
