In
Diablo 2,
thief is a special
monster ability that allows the enemy to cause you to drop
potions from your
belt (the next potion in lines falls into the next place normally). Very few monster had this
rare, difficult ability, most notably
Lord De Seis, one of the last enemies vefore Diablo. There were so many
bugs and
crashes associated with this power, that is was taken out of the game alltogether in version
1.04. The potions would fall at your
feet, but in the heat of a
fast, loaded
battle, you could find yourself without a
healing aid at a critical moment.
