Cry moar n00bWhy (you may ask, although I doubt it) Because the Rogue is 4Es biggest example of fail on one of the things it set out to do.... divorce non-combat/skill things from combat powers so you don't get a class that suck in combat. What we have instead is a class that is great in combat (as any other martially/melee/short range striker) but out shines most others cos he gets tons of skills. He is a left over from previous editions, half Mr Assassin McBackstabber/half skill monkey....except we should have skill monkeys any more.
