Sure, that replaces most powers that allowed the rogue to shift as part of the action. Want to attack with ranged, then move and hide?  Go for it.In 5E, Cunning action allows the Rogue to do the following things to get sneak attack:Move to cover... then Hide (Cunning Action).... then make a ranged attack with Combat Advantage for sneak attack.Move adjacent to an enemy that is adjacent to your ally, then make a melee attack that deals sneak attack damage... then Disengage if he's still alive, or Hustle if you killed him, to move to safety, or set up your next victim.This is the kind of freedom that I want to replace "powers". To have abilities that can be combined in ways to fulfill a variety of combat needs. ... in my opinion.</blockquote>
