232 PointsWhy do we need to put sneaky = True in the Thief class and then again for self.sneaky = True under super()?
Maybe I missed it in the video but Im not sure why we need to put sneaky = True in the Thief class (right under class Thief(Character):) and then again for self.sneaky = True under super() in the __init__ method
do we need to put the first sneaky under the class?

I suspect the class attribute was left over from before the __init__ was fully defined.
