I want a blue mage spell thief. Closest thing we get is a lvl 17 (!) ability for AT that will never get used by anyone.

Guys, the Blue mage thread is really making me want one for 5e. Can it be done considering how powerful monster abilities can be?

Best candidate for the subclass?

I tend to agree.
That said, I once saw a thief player lose his mind because the GM absentmindedly just never locked anything or had anything worth stealing.
It'd literally never occurred to the GM that he should either have a chat with the thief player or maybe just throw him a fucking bone once or twice.
My point being that a whole lot of classes can end up really shitty if the GM doesn't play ball a little. Better to have that chat before session 1 if at all possible.
