(New RPG) Rogue: Clandestine Operations (comments are welcome)

Lockpicks for the Legerderman(sp?) Theif.

Lockpicking would be gadgetry. Legerdemain is more like picking pockets or drawing a hidden item.

Will there be some form of parry or counter-attack rules?

I think that's the point of getting your Fighting bonus added to the DC to hurt you in melee, provided that you're aware.
