I think the RP value of Thieves Cant is somewhat diminished with how many players access it for a simple 3-4 level class dip.
It is supposed to be a closely guarded language, and so presumably one that takes some time to learn. Knowing how many builds take a rogue dip I would be unlikely to use this language in any scenario to signal other players. This is a shame because it is such a good language and communication method.
My suggestion would be to raise the level requirement of this language to something outside usual minimal dip range, say 6+ levels.
Also perhaps this language could be offered to bards, who share many characteristics of rogues. Perhaps in the case of the bard, who is perhaps not as frequently exposed to this language, the level requirement could be more like 8+?

Re: Language ‘Thieves Cant’
I just replied to another suggestion about this, suggesting its removal.
I think given that very few rogues are actually thieves, and many are actually honest, a blanket removal is a better course of action.
Rejected.
