Now that I re-visit aVENGER's website ( http://www.gamesector.co.yu/avenger/ ), I see that "Rogue Rebalancing" and "Shadow Thief Improvements" are in fact two wholly separate components.

About RR, I have nothing but good things to say--except for some very minor issues with the Short Sword of Backstabbing.

About STI, however.....

Start with Improved Ilyich.
Instead of appearing singly, the Shadow Thieves now spawn in groups of four.
Most of them have stats roughly equal to the best you've ever rolled.
Their use of illegal and/or undroppable items is quite common.
They know precisely where your PC is at all times.
Some of them use a form of Invisibility that neither True Sight nor a Thief's Detect Illusions can dispel.
Ilyich and his gang use the Mislead cheese.
You cannot Rest in the area.
You cannot leave the area until Ilyich is dead.

THAT'S Shadow Thief Improvements.
