Line 2: [[The Sneaky Guy]] is the one in a group who searches things out, looking for traps, enemies, and other hidden things. If they go first, they sneak and hide, not relying on speed and strength like [[The Big Guy]]. They are usually [[Fragile Speedster\|mobile]], carrying little equipment. They rely on spotting danger first, stealth, reflexes and their wits to stay alive. They are often stealthy, but the focus can also be on choosing paths thought impossible, being inconspicious, or some other strategy. In a fight, [['''The Sneaky Guy]]''' will probably try to stay inconspicuous, looking for a weak spot to exploit or a way to confuse the enemy. Ranged weapons are common, as are daggers and short swords. Many games, like ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'', has prepared roles for [['''The Sneaky Guy]]''', like thief or rogue. Related tropes are [[Stealth Expert]], [[Technicolor Ninjas]], [[Army Scout]] of the western movies, or the [[Scarily Competent Tracker]]. If a character manages to be both good at fieldcraft and fighting straight-up, it's usually a [[Ranger]] or the point man variety. [['''The Sneaky Guy]]''' corresponds to the thief in [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]], just as [[The Big Guy]] corresponds to the fighter and [[The Smart Guy]] to the mage. Duos with [[The Big Guy\|a Big Guy]] are common. [['''The Sneaky Guy]]''' can also easily serve as the Beauty in a [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]] trio, or [[The Chick]] in a ~~group -- at~~group—at least they get to do more than as [[The Heart]]. In a [[Five-Man Band]], [[The Lancer]] or [[The Smart Guy]] can double as [['''The Sneaky Guy]]'''. If serving in [[The Squad]], a not uncommon variation is serving as the point man, where [['''The Sneaky Guy]]''' often takes on elements of the [[Big Guy]]. ----▼ ~~Examples~~ ▲---- {{examples}} == Anime & Manga == * In ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'', which is basically set in a ''Dungeons & Dragons'' universe, Merrill is the lithe thief of the group.
