(Most rogues can't master all three areas anyway).If only one of these is important, for example sneaky-scouty stuff, why are you not multiclassing?You want to be sneaky, and you want to be able to hit things.... rogue + fighter, ranger, or barbarian.  Hell, the extra movement from the barbarian alone is reason enough to take a level of that, especially since the 2nd level barbarian uncanny dodge stacks with the rogue version. A move of 40 (or 30 if you're playing a runt) really helps to position for those sneak attacks. don't forget all the other bonuses of taking a warrior level... access to pole arms, longbows, etc.At higher levels (say, 10+) you will really notice a lack of the ability to hit often.I'd recommend you think about what specific mechanical role you wish to fit (scout/skirmish, back row sniper, super-uber-skill man, etc)  and then season with warrior classes to taste.  If you wish to make a skills-focused rogue, you'll be lackluster in combat.  If you want to be decent or better in combat, your skills will suffer (unless you choose to focus on a smaller set of skills).  Plan it now, so you don't end up lackluster at everything <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
