Being a Thief does not give you stealth capabilities; check the [[Shadow]] archetype if you're into that sort of thing. If your larceny tends to be on a grand and dramatic scale, you might also consider the [[Mastermind]] archetype.

If you have the Sailor class but have learned different abilities than the original owner, you still have to spend 2 Supply/Mojo Catcher uses per day.
