[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 3709427, member: 14159"] Uh, since when are Rogues not able to contribute when fighting undead or constructs or plants? Did I miss the line in the MM where under Undead creature type it lists "Damage Reduction vs. weapons wielded by Rogues"? They can't use their sneak attack, but sneak attack damage is a bonus, an extra, a nice thing when you can get it, not a guarantee to ever count on. If you're playing a Rogue, you shouldn't ever count on being able to get Sneak Attack off, it's nice, but it's gravy, not meat. Then again, I don't see a Rogue's role as being a primarily damage producing character that is depleted if he can't do heavy damage every fight, they are secondary/auxiliary combatants that are primarily there to disarm traps and open locks, appraise treasure, sneak around and scout out the dungeon/battlefield, and help the party make underworld contacts and gather information/resources back in town, with being the backstab guy being another item among many on their job description.
