[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 8816139, member: 23"] Another rogue experience for me was the thief (standard human, sailor background) in a pbp game on this very forum. The thief's mobility and fast hand weren't useful often, but when they were... very useful. It was an underground dungeon of sort (a dragon lair with evil cultists and mercenaries and multiple PC parties in the dungeon at once... it was wild!). The dragon was able to project their essence to attack the parties remotely, so it was quite dangerous too. The same dungeon had - first in another party, then the same "final" party (there had been some player attrition) a multi class arcane trickster/bladesigner elf. He was much more magical of course, and perhaps more effective overall... but my thief also had a tiny bit of magic (magic initiate) and I had to rely on my wits far more. So whenever I pulled something off by being creative instead of just casting a spell... very nice. In a way, the thief has a lot of the ... purity of the rogue experience. It's all about the player's wits. [/QUOTE]
