I think making them equal to barbarians would have been acceptable, but staggering the rogue behind the barbarian in dodging? Once again I have to ask (as per my other threads)... ...what was Andy thinking?No matter. The solution presents itself easy enough.-----Table: The RogueLv-Special01-Sneak attack +1d6, trapfinding02-Evasion, trap sense +1, uncanny dodge03-Sneak attack +2d604-Trap sense +205-Improved uncanny dodge, sneak attack +3d606-Trap sense +307-Sneak attack +4d608-Trap sense +409-Sneak attack +5d610-Trap sense +511-Sneak attack +6d6, special ability12-Trap sense +613-Sneak attack +7d614-Special ability, trap sense +715-Sneak attack +8d616-Trap sense +817-Sneak attack +9d6, special ability18-Trap sense +919-Sneak attack +10d620-Special ability, trap sense +10-----Right away, you get an ability at every level, eliminating the problem of "dead" levels, esspecially at 20th level (I mean come on, no *crowning* rogue ability at 20th level?).Secondly, while only equally proficient at dodging to barbarians, rogues bceome the undisputed masters at sensing traps (exceedingly appropriate, considering that they are already the masters at setting and detecting them).There you go. The fix is in for anybody who doesn't treat the words of WotC as gospel.</blockquote>
