Maybe I should rename that slightly, but my idea was that it was a "tough" -- someone who steals by force or threat of force. @Bonemaster: That might depend on how the game world views wizards in general. If magic is rare and wizards are persecuted, they might try a dodge like this; if magic is common and respected, then prestidigitators might be looked down upon as imitators, or they might be con men, bilking the naive of cash in exchange for their "magical" services. (Edit: I've made some changes to the list -- replaced a duplication that I hadn't noticed, and clarified "Bandit" as above, along with a few other clarifications. There are still jobs I haven't listed, or instances where I've combined a few jobs under one heading, but for a list of 100, I think this one covers the important bases.) @Wimwick: I think “Bandit” covers that.
