OK, time to come clean. I had assumed the other old people would have this at the ready, but when the confused responses came in, I just rolled with it and now I’m bored with the joke.
This is for BECMI. The question itself is real, though, I’ve heard of better Thief progressions, and I don’t want to just top out at 14 like most people do since I never got to play with the Masters or Immortals sets and I want to try it at least once so I know how it plays.
This, at least, is not entirely true. OD&D does not have any distinction at all between male and female characters in the original 3 pamphlets.
Pretty sure that stuff came in later, post-Greyhawk. It certainly showed up in fanzines of the late 70s, though…
