[QUOTE="Carnivorous_Bean, post: 4071324, member: 57974"] Again, this doesn't appear to be the case. Seeing this out of the preview is, IMO, a case of seeing what you want to see and disregarding all other evidence. They OPENLY STATE in the article that the given builds are samples, nothing else, and you can pick your options to build the character you want to build. They OPENLY STATE THAT YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE SAMPLE BUILDS THAT THEY SHOW. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp? You surely don't believe that the abilities shown in the preview are the ONLY abilities open to a rogue for an entire 30 levels? If that's the case, then the edition has failed on a lot more than trying to narrowly define roles -- it's failed to provide more than 4 or 5 abilities for 30 levels. I personally feel that there are probably more abilities, and you'll be able to tinker to your heart's content. It's more accurate to say that the SHOWN abilities are incompatible with CERTAIN rogue archetypes. That doesn't mean that these are the ONLY abilities for rogues that exist, ever, anywhere. [/QUOTE]
