Re: (TFT) General Test of ITL Knowledge

If I were GM'ing, I'd probably say taking the necklace was an action,  
not part of movement phase, and give the slinker a DX roll to avoid  
waking the wizard... number of dice probably depending on my mental  
picture of how heavily this particular character sleeps, or how mean I  
feel like being to the player...
