Here is my RMSS Burglar. You could consider adding him and then dropping the Thief, which is then squeezed betweeen the Rogue and Burglar.

Considering that magic-users will be getting a new kind of form of training packages in the soon to be released 'Castles & Ruins', I thought that non-magic-users need something similar. The following TP is like normal TP, except that this one gives a character a new set of everyman/occupational-skills.

This example is of the burglar. 8)

P.S. Costs by Profession are propably going to need some more refining.
