Dragons and their golden hoards, Giants in their sky castles, even other humanoids with their banks and vaults and treasure rooms, creatures with wealth and power always seem to squirrel away their riches so no one else gets any use out of them. A very selfish predilection as they often don’t even use the hoards themselves. Luckily there’s sometimes people brave or foolish enough around to redistribute this wealth, and occasionally into more than their own pockets.
Hoard Taker Rogues are specialists in stealing from only the biggest scores. Whether it be treasure from a sleeping dragon or the crown jewels from an Emperor’s coronation they are experts in stealing what others say is impossible, and then getting out alive again (which is often harder).
Hoard Taker Rogues are able to use the innate power of gems to change the damage of their sneak attack to better deal with their foe and can even almost completely hide from and plan to overwhelm specific types of monsters at higher level. They also gain benefits from keeping stolen trophies from past adventures and have access to the identify spell to better know which item is worth stealing.
