I didn't get any info from you, Ryan. I mean, I got a couple of emails, but nothing with crunch. Can you try resending?

Oooh, Rhun's so privileged. Can I call you Ryan, too, renau1g? BTW, my rn is, believe it or not, Leif.

Just sent to your hotmail account, it should be there shortly.

Essentially, there are 2 kinds of rogues, Brawny (focus on STR), or Trickster (Focus on CHA). Rangers are either two-weapon fighter or bow-wielders.

Really, renau1g, those are just the Builds that are specified in the ph. You aren't REQUIRED to abide by that stuff, you can make your own hybrid build, or basically do anyting you want with the ability scores that you have to work with. But, you're right, until we all get more used to 4e, the Builds are a good way to cover the things you wish to cover.

He is privileged

, although feel free as well.

P.S. I do believe that Leif is you're real name, gmail shows it in your e-mail.

While you're not required to follow 1 or the other, a few of the powers are keyed off of it (i.e. if you're a brutal rogue get bonus damage = to STR modifier, or if you're a trickster rogue you can shift the target 1+CHA modifier vs just 1 square).

Aww, gee, thanks! Yeah, I knew we had emailed before, didn't I? Now I know the names of everyone in this game. Guess you think I'm gonna have you to come over soon for a big fish fry, huh? We'll see... we'll see.....

But don't trickster rogues or other rogues also get str bonus added to dam? It's just that if you take the brutal rogue build you're more likely to have a positive str bonus, right?

Only to melee basic attacks. all of their at-wills add Dex bonus to damage. It's pretty easy to play a low-strength trickster rogue.

Ok, cool! I knew about getting bonuses from other abilities, but I wasn't thiking straight.

Kinda like using the better of Dex or Int for your bonus to AC, which is also very cool. Str pairs with Wis, Dex with Int, and Con with Cha, is that right?
