    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Re: Hoo Boy Im not talking about a man against all odds quest, just because its dark and gritty doesnt mean the players are more likely to die ;) But ofcourse D&D is flashy by default. The NPC classes suck, not because they are "bad in combat" but they are not very detailed, and they seem...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Ok, seems alot of you out there are playing D&D with loads of magic, magick items and whatmore. Im not looking down on either of you. And its up to each DM to run his game as he sees fit. Either way, personally I dont like flashy magic, it reminds me of Boris Valejo and his 80s paintings with...

Im thinking of making either some wierd Feat with bonuses AND drawbacks, a...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    What makes d&d great is not that its full of Magic items and Equipment, nor that that you can be a high level magician. What makes d&d great is its simplicity. Its a good system because its fast and one can focus on roleplaying, theatrical dialogue and atmosphere instead of rules. Ive been...

    Seems like a good system, but very much information. Isnt there an easier solution than keeping track of every skill depending on race? :)

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Sorry, meant including prestige classes. Even rogues gain spells if they take the assassin class, which also seems wierd, why would assassins have spells. Someone at WotC must be a Lysergic Acid user :) This results in a whole group of spellcasters on higher levels and its sad that this should...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    We kind of banned the Bard class because they have spells, seems kinda ridicoulus that almost ALL classes in 3E uses spells on higher levels. What happened to dark and gritty adventures and combat. In 3E on higher levels it seems like it New years Eve in each encounter... I must say that...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Robin "nutcruncher" Hood ;) I understand what you mean, although what I'm trying to say is that even thieves could fight honorably. Kicking someone in the nuts is NOT honorable. So WotC have made rogues "dirty fighter" it seems...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Come on, we all now its about backstabbing, regardless of what the books dont tell. Why would it otherwise almost always be done when you flank or stand behind the target??? Either way, what happened to thieves honor :)

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Ok, have to check that out. I was wondering if people think its unbalanced to substitute the rogue abilities with feats instead (for skillfocus feats etc..) ?

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    But is d&d really all about combat? Rogues are ok without the sneak attack skill, alot better than mages are in melee, so the sneak attack seems way off. It isnt that much fun to pic a NPC class either, they kinda suck :) A diplomat could be of great use for a group. Especially if he had alot...

    Sneak Attacks in the Rogue Class, WHY?

    Why do all Rogues have sneak attacks, are all rogues assassins or what? Its pretty wierd considering there is an Assassin prestige class. I thought Rogues was diplomats and general Big City people, merchants etc. Now if one of my players wants to make a Diplomat, what am I to tell this guy, You...

    Phaerimms of the Forgotten Realms

    Anyone know anything about these creatures, what they look like, what their stats are etc? I looked through the whole MM and Forgotten Realms campaign settings books and couldnt find any description of them, only that they were good magicians or something like that. Wierd isnt it considering...

    Smoke Bombs and Infravision/Darkvision

    last session this rogue cast some smokebombs in the heat of battle and another rogue in the group was a Half-Orc with Darkvision (is it darkvison or infravision!???). Now can he see clearly through the smoke? I though it would be reasonable because he can detect heatsources right? But still the...

    Re: Re: More Skillpoints 4 bakground skill points at 1st level seems like a good rule, and other points when trainging, do you limit those bakground skills to some specific areas or are they allowed to take any skill they want ( - hey my character used to concentrate as a child :)). Thing is...
