A thief learns early on that the swiftest way to a person's pocket is usually through their back. If wielding a weapon that is not blunt, a thief may make a swift strike at an unsuspecting opponent to initiate combat. Should the target be at full health, if they are lacking armor to protect major portions of their body, this attack will deal even more damage than it would otherwise by exploiting their vulnerability.
