| **8.** Even while you fight, you don't have to throw stealth out the window or blow your cover completely. If there's still a way to avoid alerting too many people about the fight you're having with your opponent, then by all means, exploit such an opportunity and try to keep the fight unheard and unseen. Making a big, showy, loud fight will only attract more attention and make things gradually worse. So, all in all, try to be subtle, even when you're parrying, slashing, punching, kicking or bludgeoning someone (or something). | **8.** Even while you fight, you don't have to throw stealth out the window or blow your cover completely.

| **10.** "Surely, women are always weaker then men in a fight ?". Erm, no. Everyone is an individual and one's sex or gender alone doesn't define whether he or she can be an effective or even formidable fighter. Just like it doesn't particularly matter whether a practitioner of a thievy specialisation is a man or a woman, so too does it not really matter whether a combatant is male or female. | **10.** "Surely, women are always weaker then men in a fight ?".
