Master grifters are huge assholes, they steal not be agility, skills or force but by honeyed words and false documents. They usually come from social rogues who put less of a focus on combat and more on deception and trickery. A master grifter is an expert at fooling people, forging money and document and generally being a pain in the ass of law enforcement. They are also somehow really good at making friends.
