[QUOTE="The Hitcher, post: 6311315, member: 63747"] And I think YOU'RE missing the point, because the OP's question was about the feasibility of an archer rogue in play. In that regard, the posters who gave actual play reports of archer rogues doing well are worth more than all the DPR analysis in the kingdom. Because even if many of the factors in the archer rogue's effectiveness are unmeasurable, they are sill missing from the DPR analysis, which makes its practical usefulness limited. And I reserve the right to complain or not complain about 5E post release, but my complaints are much more likely to be based on unquantifiable factors like "flavour" than supposedly-more-quantifiable things like "game balance" (which is much less of an issue in RPGs than some would have you believe). EDIT: And was their playtesting "that strong"? It certainly had quantity of testers on its side. In regards to quality, well that's obviously less quantifiable :P But everything I've heard from Mike and Rodney gives me hope that they're on the right track. [/QUOTE]
