[QUOTE="Kastil, post: 958486, member: 5649"] A recent 'problem' has reared its ugly head in a FR gme I currently play in online. With all the possibilities of a 3E rogue, I couldn't resist playing one especially in the FR setting. After all, the thieves of 2E were my favorite class in those long forgotten days so why not try 3E but with a twist? The ways you could play the now called rogue class were endless in my eyes. I had to try it! After careful consideration, I drew upon a character from one of my many unfinished stories. He fit the part for the 3E world and would work perfectly in the campaign setup. I submitted my character sheet and rather lengthy background to the DM.... "Where's your thieves tools? Did you forgot them when you picked your equipment?" "Noooo....I'm not playing that kind of rogue. See? No ranks in pick locks or pockets. I'm going with the diplomacy kind of [I]rogue[/I]." "Why don't you take them just in case." ::sighs:: I did, just in case. Then I actually had to pick a lock ::gasps:: and fate smacked me upside the head. I couldn't pick a lock for spit! Imagine that! Then came the "You're not a very good thief, are you?" "I'm playing a rogue, not a thief." "Yeah, sure whatever." ::sighs:: Of course the best thing has to be the "You wear light armor, don't use anything but small weapons and can't fight very good. You must be a rogue!" I find myself shifting from the original concept of my character because of the nice 'stereotpye' given to him. I'm also thinking of multi-classing just to step away from where it looks like he's heading. Sure, I admit, he's swindled in the past and flashes a smile if he thinks it will get him anywhere but steal just to steal? Nope, not his gig at all. Anyone else have this affliction? [/QUOTE]
