You may treat this weapon as a light blade for the purposes of making sneak attacks or using rogue powers.Special: If you are a Brawny Rogue, your weapon choice may also be a two-handed melee weapon.I'd be seriously surprised if this or something similar wouldn't be in the PHB or the martial supplement that comes out later this year. Really.I mean... I just don't get it. All this complaining about how the rogue doesn't fulfill the swashbuckler archetype or the greatsword-sneaker archetype or whatever other archetype. Maybe the vanilla rogue just needs some feats to break into that terrain. In fact, that's what I expect and sort of require from the new rogue. You got your basic class (in two different flavors). Add in race, skills, feats, powers, paragon paths, and talent selection and you'll end up with a more nuanced character that only uses his class as a foundation instead of a tight definition. And of course we can't see the full extent of that yet because it would mean publishing all the damn feats in the book as a bare minimum.</blockquote>
