Leaping Thief

Creature 3 — catfolk, humanoid

FlankerShadeLANDVERTICAL

Some catfolk take advantage of their natural agility to steal from those too slow to catch them. They usually target notorious misers and others who obviously have money to spare—sometimes to help the needy, sometimes for simple profit. Catfolk can be found traveling almost anywhere, and they are quick to settle down for a chat when they encounter fellow travelers. Some trade stories, act as guides, or operate at the fringes of polite society.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / VERTICALAn Anvil's static presence gives the Flanker a reliable positional anchor for Tumble Through, triggering Unexpected Angle and Sneak Attack without needing to reposition the Anvil.
WeaverLAND / VERTICALThe Weaver's forced movement creates Off-Guard conditions the Flanker's Sneak Attack exploits, while the Flanker's vertical mobility via Coiled Leap keeps pace with battlefield repositioning.
SniperLAND / VERTICALThe Flanker's Coiled Leap and climb speed grant access to elevated perches that split enemy defensive attention, creating firing lanes at multiple elevation bands for the Sniper.
