The Rake is a Rogue Variant Class in the BECMI edition of Dungeons & Dragons. Introduced in the boxed set "Dawn of the Emperors: Thyatis and Alphatia", the Rake is a cultural variation of the thief who posses "roguish charm", but isn't actually a professional crook.

Mechanically, this works by taking the BECMI Thief class and stripping out the Pick Pockets and Backstab abilities. And that's it. Even the splatbook admits that all the Rake gains compared to the standard Thief is that "your comrades may trust you more than they would a normal thief".

...Yeah, this class sucks and nobody ever used it.
