Thief

The  is a class in Demon's Souls.

Description
"They are hired by royalty and engage in dirty jobs. This character is good at sneaky tactics such as surprise attacks, ambushes, and critical attacks after parrying. They have very good luck."

Overview
Thieves are not well-suited to direct confrontation, with poor defenses, a weak dagger, and an easily-penetrated shield. They are instead meant to rely on more tactical fighting techniques, such as backstabbing, parrying and riposting, and evasive maneuvers. A thief will see items drop with noticeably greater frequency than other classes.

Since Luck is not a very useful stat for most builds, Thief is generally the worst starting class for both new and returning players. It is not suggested to go with this class unless you are planning a Luck-based Blueblood Sword build, as the lack of offensive stats can make things inordinately difficult for novice players.

If one does choose the Thief, the Scimitar in Boletarian Palace 1-1 will function as a better substitute for the Dagger once it is picked up.
