Understand that I've always used tactical maps and minis, even back in 1e. However, it was very nice to have the option of not using them. Mistwell is right to an extent. Knocking someone 10 feet away is not too hard to describe without a map. However, i'm concerned when multiple abilities/feats adjust PC and NPC positions on the battle field. For example, the rogue knocks a Bad Guy 2 spaces (10 feet) away. Then, the rogue slide 10 feet in this direction. Afterwards, the Warlocks spell shifts the bad guy in that direction. With so many abilities shifting opponents' or PCs' positions on the battlefield, it will be just that much hard to do non-map battles. Also, I'm concerned for the DMs out there who don't use maps at all (and they are definitely out there). Other than that, the rogue looks...okay. I definitely like that the class information about the rogue really fits into a few paragraphs. Everything else is extra. It takes me back to 1e, when a character could fit on the top half of a piece of notebook paper.</blockquote>
