[QUOTE="Humanophile, post: 172452, member: 1049"] I could see both being used for LG purposes. Granted, these are more things I'd see an Expert doing than a Rogue, but I'm just being nitpicky. First, sleight of hand is only nonlawful and/or nongood when done with the intent to defraud. And while I'll grant that your average stage magician is more likely chaotic than lawful, I don't see how chaotic alignment is required. A modern day debunker would probably be lawful, maybe even lawful good, but still know how to sneak so that they could prove their "talents" before showing everyone how it was done. And while I don't see a Solar having either the training or inclination to, if one had both I don't see it having the slightest problem doing sleight of hand, pulling rabbits out of hats and coins from behind ears to entertain children. Silly image, yes, but if entertaining children were what duty or the greater good demanded of it, entirely possible. Second one, I can only think of the example of planting a bug on a bad guy so you know where he's going and what he's doing. Again, it's not your typical paladin in shining plate activity, but I fail to see how keeping track of a troublesome element (provided said troublesome element has proven themselves to be nonlawful/nongood and you're not just profiling) is either chaotic or evil.
