Not impressed, since the damage is kind of low and the attack does nothing special.</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><span style="color: #FF0000">Daunting Attack</span> (MP) - Dazing Strike with Rattling attached, and it stuns if you're a Ruthless Ruffian. Unless you're one of them (and I highly recommend you don't be), Stunning Strike is straight-up better.</strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Fool's Opportunity</span> (PHB) - Rating assumes you have an offensively-oriented defender with a credible mark punishment (hell, even an assault swordmage will do due to the auto-hit wording on this power), because this then becomes a beefy double-tap power with a roulette status effect, depending on the monster. <strong><span style="color: #800080">Don't bother</span></strong> if your defender is a battlemind, shielding swordmage, paladin, or aura-based defender.</strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Strike of Dancing Shadows (MP 2) - A move that allows you to slip and get an attack off without losing your cover (automatically remaining hidden is very nice). <span style="color: #0000FF"><strong>Much better</strong></span> for Cunning Sneaks because the increase in shifting distance gives you a lot more options as to where you hide.</strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #00CCFF">Stunning Strike</span> (PHB) - Given that Stunning is one of the most powerful status effects you can slap on an opponent as it essentially buys you a whole free turn against it, having access to it every encounter is a very good thing.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Toppling Slash</span> (MP) - Pushing, knocking prone, and Rattling is a pretty solid combination to have.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Unbalancing Attack</span> (PHB) - A "backup Defender" power, I question its utility because usually, you're the one a monster's willing to eat an OA to get next to, and if you take that part out it's just a generic damage attack.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Vaulting Charge</span> (D 381) - Ugh, I hate it that they keep giving charge powers to the wrong rogue build. This is an good mobility power paired with a generic 3[W] charge for most people, but it gets much better if you have a noteworthy charisma score, and becomes <span style="color: #00CCFF"><strong>genuinely competitive</strong></span> with Stunning Strike for an Artful Dodger.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>[h=3]<strong>Ranged:</strong>[/h]</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Numbing Shot</span> (MP 2) - Sure, it requires a Sling, but tagging a NAD, knocking the opponent prone, and weakening him on a pure Ranged attack is worth something.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Powerful Shot</span> (MP) - Decent damage, pushes back, and slows.

The only real use I can see for it is minion-popping without having to invest an action (or an attack) on it, and that's not good enough.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Veiled Missile (MP 2) - A Ranged attack against Reflex that packs solid damage and its own concealment. Cunning Sneaks don't even have to invest additional actions to hide. This can see use, but it adds little to the average Cunning Sneak's repertoire.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>[h=3]<strong>Melee or Ranged:</strong>[/h]</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Bounding Escape</span> (MP) - A generic hit that lets you jump away afterwards. Not only have other powers at earlier levels done this better, but the jump is Strength-based, yet the secondary effect requires a Charisma-based build. Kind of dysfunctional, this one.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Flitting Demise</span> (MP 2) - An attack that has a condition to use, and it's just damage plus a Stealth check. There are better ways to do this sort of thing.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #FF0000">Killing Shadow</span> (DSH) - </strong>Really? Shadow Steel Roll did this, and did it way better. At level 3, and that was not even one of the better powers on the E3 list. The fact that most cunning rogues can literally do this at-will now via Deft Strike + Ghostwalker style puts this firmly in the useless category.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Tornado Strike (PHB) - You tag two enemies with a sliding attack, then move away. A nice way to get out of a jam or to wreak havoc among enemy ranks, <span style="color: #00CCFF"><strong>especially</strong></span> for Artful Dodgers.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Wicked Reminder</span> (MP 2) - Essentially a Disheartening Strike that slaps on vulnerability to weapon attacks, plus it hits a NAD if you're a Ruffian. The initial damage is lame, though, and the vulnerability doesn't play nice with implement users.

It can be quite nasty against monsters with status effects on their MBA's (though you don't get any guarantees as to what effects the monsters are packing), and it can even focus-fire under the right circumstances. One of the few bright spots at this level, even if you don't get Sneak Attack damage from it.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Bold Feint (MP) - Turn a hit on you into a hit for an enemy. This power is nice to have, though it has its limitations in that you're likely unable to focus fire a single target with it (unless you are attacked by something else while you're hacking away at your main enemy), and that you have no guarantees as to when it's going off and what you're getting out of it.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Finish It</span> (MP) - A generic entry attack for a Melee-only Daily (and conditional targeting as insult to injury), but an ongoing 5 your opponent can't shake off without healing does have some potential (effectively +5 damage every turn for the rest of the encounter). Not the best choice, but at least it's not totally useless.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Garrote Grip</span> (PHB) - While it feels thematic, the fact of the matter is that only 1 build among you is really suited to hold down an opponent with a grab (that would be the Brutal Scoundrels who chose to keep Strength as a viable attack stat), and even then you have to hold him down three whole turns before this power is as effective as Knockout. Nope.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Lurker's Threat (MP 2) - Conditional targeting (and hiding in Melee is harder than it is at range), but it has some decent damage, slaps on a daze, slides, and makes others grant you CA. Not for every Rogue, but solid for the ones who can use it.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Ripple Effect</span> (MP) - A hit vs. Reflex for a decent slide, and a little extra damage and a smaller slide for another opponent. Bascially an Encounter power effect with a little more damage on the primary attack. Not impressive.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Vicious Cooperation</span> (MP) - Requires a bit of setup (and an ally with a decent MBA), but you were likely to be in this situation by default, and this can put up some pretty respectable damage.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Whirlwind of Blades</span> (MP 2) - Spinning Blade Leap with a little extra damage and riskier movement.

Given that, it's solid, but not quite a top power unless you have improved criticals, which make it <span style="color: #0000FF"><strong>better</strong></span>.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Courage Breaker (MP 2) - Apart from having one of the larger keyword collections on an attack power, it does have solid damage, Rattling, and a (save ends) slow for Ranged folks, as well as an area attack penalty to inhibit clustering. Decent for a primarily Ranged Rogue.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #800080">Mind-Boggling Onslaught</span> (MP) - It's low on the damage scale, and the penalty it slaps on can be resisted by fear-immune creatures, and you have to eat up your minor action to sustain it, or end the penalty for only one turn of dazing.

Monster criticals are by and large nowhere near as dangerous as player criticals (so little risk for what could be the reward), and this is especially meant for any non-Daggermsters in the audience, even if it only lasts 2 turns (make 'em count: roll as many attacks as you possibly can during that span).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #0000FF">Shadow Master</span> (MP 2) - You can ignore the need for superior cover/concealment for Stealth for 2 turns per encounter.

Just like in your favorite(?) games! However, I don't believe it to be all that effective because you aren't considered to have a running start (and without it, the only way you're blowing by your normal speed is if you roll a 45 on your Athletics check or something crazy like that). A novelty, but ultimately not much beyond it.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Dazzling Acrobatics</span> (PHB)</strong> - A huge shift, with extra AC in case they can counter shifts with an attack.

Powerful in the hands of any Ranged Rogue, and it can be awesome in Melee if your opponent doesn't get wise to what you're doing fast.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #00CCFF"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #00CCFF"></span><span style="color: #0000FF">Indomitable Agility</span> (MP 2) - It negates status effects, can be used to shift your speed outside your turn, AND it has no trigger to satisfy: you can pop this off whenever you need to, even as a counter to any move your opponent might have made. The thing is, its a daily, and it doesn't really save you against the big guns that would really wreck your day, so I expect better.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><strong><span style="color: #0000FF">Invisible Stalker</span> (HotFL)</strong> - <span style="color: #33CCCC"><strong>Chargers</strong> </span>take note.

Bear in mind you're likely to take a shot to the face for stalking your opponent in this fashion, though. This is obviously <span style="color: #0000FF">better</span> if the attacks that particular enemy is packing aren't all that fearsome, of course.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #800080">Scoundrel's Epiphany</span> (MP) - It can be useful for story reasons, but if your DM is asking for a natural 25 on a d20 for you to be able to uncover some information, it's pretty likely you don't need it to complete the encounter in the first place, unless he's doing it just so you can use this power.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #0000FF">Seize the Moment</span> (MP) - You go first without the shadow of a doubt, and you get a solid attack and speed buff for turn 1.

Not a top rating because I don't expect Rogues to miss all that much, but rerolling a crucial save (like one against a stun effect) and then slapping on a debuff can be useful.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'">Uncanny Aim (MP 2) - It can be awesome for Dagger wielders to extend their range for that opening salvo (think House of the Flying Daggers), but it is completely unnecessary for most Crossbow users, especially Superior Crossbow users (you likely can't even see as far as this powers extended range allows you to hit).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #800080">Unnerving Footwork</span> (MP) - While attack debuffs are all fine and dandy, they need to end their turn adjacent to you, which makes this worthless against any opponent with Reach, which should be the norm at this level of play.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'"><span style="color: #800080">Wall Crawl</span> (MP) - You can climb at your full speed (a bit less if you're in Hide and without Hide Specialization) without penalty.

Not impressed, since the damage is kind of low and the attack does nothing special. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Daunting Attack[/COLOR] (MP) - Dazing Strike with Rattling attached, and it stuns if you're a Ruthless Ruffian. Unless you're one of them (and I highly recommend you don't be), Stunning Strike is straight-up better. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Fool's Opportunity[/COLOR] (PHB) - Rating assumes you have an offensively-oriented defender with a credible mark punishment (hell, even an assault swordmage will do due to the auto-hit wording on this power), because this then becomes a beefy double-tap power with a roulette status effect, depending on the monster. [B][COLOR=#800080]Don't bother[/COLOR][/B] if your defender is a battlemind, shielding swordmage, paladin, or aura-based defender. [B]Strike of Dancing Shadows (MP 2) - A move that allows you to slip and get an attack off without losing your cover (automatically remaining hidden is very nice). [COLOR=#0000FF][B]Much better[/B][/COLOR] for Cunning Sneaks because the increase in shifting distance gives you a lot more options as to where you hide. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Stunning Strike[/COLOR] (PHB) - Given that Stunning is one of the most powerful status effects you can slap on an opponent as it essentially buys you a whole free turn against it, having access to it every encounter is a very good thing. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Toppling Slash[/COLOR] (MP) - Pushing, knocking prone, and Rattling is a pretty solid combination to have. [B][COLOR=#800080]Unbalancing Attack[/COLOR] (PHB) - A "backup Defender" power, I question its utility because usually, you're the one a monster's willing to eat an OA to get next to, and if you take that part out it's just a generic damage attack. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Vaulting Charge[/COLOR] (D 381) - Ugh, I hate it that they keep giving charge powers to the wrong rogue build. This is an good mobility power paired with a generic 3[W] charge for most people, but it gets much better if you have a noteworthy charisma score, and becomes [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]genuinely competitive[/B][/COLOR] with Stunning Strike for an Artful Dodger. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Numbing Shot[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Sure, it requires a Sling, but tagging a NAD, knocking the opponent prone, and weakening him on a pure Ranged attack is worth something. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Powerful Shot[/COLOR] (MP) - Decent damage, pushes back, and slows. Nice to have for a Rogue who does not intend to get in Melee. [B][COLOR=#800080]Skip Shot[/COLOR] (MP) - A generic hit that inflicts a little damage to a nearby enemy. The only real use I can see for it is minion-popping without having to invest an action (or an attack) on it, and that's not good enough. [B]Veiled Missile (MP 2) - A Ranged attack against Reflex that packs solid damage and its own concealment. Cunning Sneaks don't even have to invest additional actions to hide. This can see use, but it adds little to the average Cunning Sneak's repertoire. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Bounding Escape[/COLOR] (MP) - A generic hit that lets you jump away afterwards. Not only have other powers at earlier levels done this better, but the jump is Strength-based, yet the secondary effect requires a Charisma-based build. Kind of dysfunctional, this one. [B][COLOR=#800080]Flitting Demise[/COLOR] (MP 2) - An attack that has a condition to use, and it's just damage plus a Stealth check. There are better ways to do this sort of thing. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Killing Shadow[/COLOR] (DSH) - [/B]Really? Shadow Steel Roll did this, and did it way better. At level 3, and that was not even one of the better powers on the E3 list. The fact that most cunning rogues can literally do this at-will now via Deft Strike + Ghostwalker style puts this firmly in the useless category. [B]Tornado Strike (PHB) - You tag two enemies with a sliding attack, then move away. A nice way to get out of a jam or to wreak havoc among enemy ranks, [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]especially[/B][/COLOR] for Artful Dodgers. [B][COLOR=#800080]Wicked Reminder[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Essentially a Disheartening Strike that slaps on vulnerability to weapon attacks, plus it hits a NAD if you're a Ruffian. The initial damage is lame, though, and the vulnerability doesn't play nice with implement users. Nah.

[B]Bloody Path[/B] is kinda hilarious and so I usually ending up taking it, but what you should really be doing is checking back on your D9 and D5 lists. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Bloody Path[/COLOR] (PHB) - While this power doesn't require actual attack rolls from you, it does work by provoking OA's, so it's on this list since most OA's work at Melee range. It can be quite nasty against monsters with status effects on their MBA's (though you don't get any guarantees as to what effects the monsters are packing), and it can even focus-fire under the right circumstances. One of the few bright spots at this level, even if you don't get Sneak Attack damage from it. [B]Bold Feint (MP) - Turn a hit on you into a hit for an enemy. This power is nice to have, though it has its limitations in that you're likely unable to focus fire a single target with it (unless you are attacked by something else while you're hacking away at your main enemy), and that you have no guarantees as to when it's going off and what you're getting out of it. [B][COLOR=#800080]Finish It[/COLOR] (MP) - A generic entry attack for a Melee-only Daily (and conditional targeting as insult to injury), but an ongoing 5 your opponent can't shake off without healing does have some potential (effectively +5 damage every turn for the rest of the encounter). Not the best choice, but at least it's not totally useless. [B][COLOR=#800080]Garrote Grip[/COLOR] (PHB) - While it feels thematic, the fact of the matter is that only 1 build among you is really suited to hold down an opponent with a grab (that would be the Brutal Scoundrels who chose to keep Strength as a viable attack stat), and even then you have to hold him down three whole turns before this power is as effective as Knockout. Nope. [B]Lurker's Threat (MP 2) - Conditional targeting (and hiding in Melee is harder than it is at range), but it has some decent damage, slaps on a daze, slides, and makes others grant you CA. Not for every Rogue, but solid for the ones who can use it. [B][COLOR=#800080]Ripple Effect[/COLOR] (MP) - A hit vs. Reflex for a decent slide, and a little extra damage and a smaller slide for another opponent. Bascially an Encounter power effect with a little more damage on the primary attack. Not impressive. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Vicious Cooperation[/COLOR] (MP) - Requires a bit of setup (and an ally with a decent MBA), but you were likely to be in this situation by default, and this can put up some pretty respectable damage. [B][COLOR=#800080]Whirlwind of Blades[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Spinning Blade Leap with a little extra damage and riskier movement. I waited half my career for this?! [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B]Arterial Slice (MP 2) - Similar to Bloodbath, but with a slightly more robust initial attack (more damage, hits Reflex), the ability to be used at range, and minus an autohitting Effect line. Given that, it's solid, but not quite a top power unless you have improved criticals, which make it [COLOR=#0000FF][B]better[/B][/COLOR]. [B]Courage Breaker (MP 2) - Apart from having one of the larger keyword collections on an attack power, it does have solid damage, Rattling, and a (save ends) slow for Ranged folks, as well as an area attack penalty to inhibit clustering. Decent for a primarily Ranged Rogue. [B][COLOR=#800080]Mind-Boggling Onslaught[/COLOR] (MP) - It's low on the damage scale, and the penalty it slaps on can be resisted by fear-immune creatures, and you have to eat up your minor action to sustain it, or end the penalty for only one turn of dazing. Very mediocre. [B]Slaying Strike (PHB) - This power is very Jekyll-and-Hyde; it goes from being barely sufficient for a Level 1 Daily when your opponent is not Bloodied to being [COLOR=#0000FF][B]pretty nasty[/B][/COLOR] if they are. Not that great because you can't cut loose whenever you like, but not that bad either. [B]Vicious Slice (MP 2) - An attack penalty and some ongoing damage is a decent debuff collection, though the triggering attack is obviously nothing special. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Wounding Strike[/COLOR] (MP) - Even under the best conditions, the attack is not very impressive. The fact that it imposes a condition for optimal usage is borderline insulting. [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/sblock][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B] [sblock=Level 17 Encounter Powers] [h=3][U][B]Synopsis:[/B][/U][/h] The question isn't whether or not you're auto-picking [B]Tumbling Strike[/B] because you freakin' are, but whether you're replacing another minor action attack for it. I personally prefer an encounter selection setup with two minors attack and a standard control power, so I ending keeping Low Slash ditching Darting Strike or Snap Shot for it. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B]Audacious Strike (MP) - Move 4, deal your damage, then shift 2. A nice hit-and-run power to have every encounter, but it's out of its league compared to some other powers on the list. [B][COLOR=#800080]Blistering Outburst[/COLOR] (MP) - A close burst that hits a NAD for low damage and -2 to hit. There are signficantly better options at this level. [B]Escape Artist's Gambit (MP) - Condition removal is nice to have, as is a shift. [COLOR=#0000FF][B]Better[/B][/COLOR] for Artful Dodgers because of the size of said shift. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Leaping Dagger Kick[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A charge that knocks prone regardless if you hit or not is nice, and dazing with it if you're an Artful Dodger is [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]nicer[/B][/COLOR]. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Path of the Blade[/COLOR] (D 381) - A shift, and two attacks that slide at any two points during the shift (so you get 4 attacks total. Very good to have. [B][COLOR=#800080]Stab and Grab[/COLOR] (PHB) - Replacing immobilize on a grab with restrain is good with the damage and NAD-hitting this attack carries, but few Rogues will be able to maintain this grab for an extended amount of time, plus some enemies can't be grabbed. Too conditional for my taste, but there's some potential here. [B]Stinging Squall (MP) - A close burst power with Rattling that imposes weakened against you, which is nice for escaping an ugly situation battered but alive. Markedly better for a Ruthless Ruffian, though I still don't recommend you take that feature. [B][COLOR=#FF9900]Tumbling Strike[/COLOR] (D 381) - Shifting your speed while ignoring enemies and difficult terrain, then dealing good damage would be good under normal circumstances, but this one shatters all expectations by being available as a minor action. Too good to not have. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Dazing Shot[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Sling only, but dazing and knocking down if he chooses to spend the action on a move or an attack make it a virtual lock for the ones who use that weapon. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]No Escape[/COLOR] (MP) - Though it is a pure Ranged power, it's easier to use on a Rogue that engages in Melee because of the nature of the trigger. A good power overall, though I question the frequency it'll come up somewhat. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Unerring Shot[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A generic attack that you don't lose if you miss. Borderline insulting, to be honest. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Dragon Tail Strike[/COLOR] (PHB) - A big Riposte Strike, but this time the attacks hit a NAD, it's Ranged-friendly, the riposte attack uses Dexterity, and it's super-accurate for Brutal Scoundrels. You could do a lot worse than pick this. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Excruciating Reminder[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A Rattling attack for solid damage that carries the promise of more damage should the opponent miss with an attack (and you just provided -2 to hit). A nice toy for Ranged Rogues. [B]Guerrilla Blitz (MP) - Move your speed, do some solid damage, get a defensive buff. More applicable to Melee than Ranged, but a solid power nonetheless. [B]Houding Strike (PHB) - A nice tag against a usualy weak NAD, and free CA and a defense bonus that makes Artful Dodgers [COLOR=#0000FF][B]love[/B][/COLOR] this power. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Surprising Assault[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A Ranged attack with dazing and a chance of stunning if you are a Cunning Sneak. Good overall, and [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]great[/B][/COLOR] for them.

Ranged users get a fairly nice power in [B]Daunting Barrage[/B] though. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Blood Squall[/COLOR] (MP) - A close burst version of an attack that would never be worthy of being at this level otherwise. Still bad, but not worthless. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Bloodbath Attack[/COLOR] (MP) - So this essentially gives you another ability score to damage rolls for the encounter, while sporting an OK entry attack. I like this for Strength-based Rogues. [B]Blurring Assault (MP 2) - Though it is situational, this can be used as a devastating alpha strike as well as a way to make a battlefield uncluttered in a hurry. It also has application in larger-scale battles. Not my top choice, but not a bad power. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Flying Foe[/COLOR] (PHB) - You get some damage and a big slide, plus some damage if he runs into something (hint: you do want him to run into something; as a secondary damage roll on the power, any bonus that applied to the previous attack applies to this one), so this can be a pretty good power (since slide lets you move him wherever you want), provided you don't hit an ally with it. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Hilt Slam[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Hooray for a (save ends) stun! You even get some forced movement out of the deal, so who cares if you grant CA for a turn? Your opponent is likely stunned and in the jaws of your Defender now; his life expectancy is now a matter of how many powers you had left before you landed this. [B]Merciless Cut (MP 2) - The attack is kind of underwhelming right now, but a free shift attached makes it a more palatable option, though it's decidedly not a top power (or something you haven't already seen [I]ad nauseam). [B][COLOR=#800080]Stolen Vitality[/COLOR] (MP) - The damage and effect are underwhelming for a Melee power of this level, and THP don't sway my argument, especially when they're as few as the ones provided by this power. [B]Strong-Arm Vitality (MP) - A hit that offers a turn of domination. I don't like it all that much because of the fact that you don't get (save ends) to have the hope of another turn, you can't make him attack himself, and the clause that prohibits it from being attacked by your allies if you want to preserve the effect, though nobody can deny dominate is both awesome and rare on your list. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B]Demoralizing Shot (MP 2) - You tag an enemy with a solid Rattling attack, then have his allies move away from it and grant CA. Decent, but something feels kind of lacking. [B][COLOR=#800080]Uncanny Ricochet[/COLOR] (MP) - A flat-damage attack with a chance at another flat-damage attack should you miss. I'm not sold on this because of the lack of rider effects, and that Rogues overall don't miss a whole lot. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Daunting Barrage[/COLOR] (MP) - A close blast attack that dazes. While dazing is not as devastating as Blinding Barrage's effect, this has the potential of lasting more than a turn, the presence of Rattling, and having more damage and more area. A worthy successor to the above mentioned power, though not a must-have. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Feinting Flurry[/COLOR] (PHB) - ...By the gods! It hits Will defense, does some good damage, and then slaps on a nasty debuff (eats up your minor action, though). This is very good for Charisma-based Rogues in general, [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]especially[/B][/COLOR] if they deviated from the typical high accuracy paths. [B]Maiming Strike (MP 2) - An interesting control power, it can be nice in keeping a shifty or mobile target from getting away from you or your Defender, at least not without taking a wallop. It's solid. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Marked Beating[/COLOR] (MP) - I'm not a fan of conditional targeting, but that's literally the ONE flaw I found with this power. It's enough to be a bit of a concern, but this power is still a pretty nasty thing to do to your opponent regardless. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Snake's Retreat[/COLOR] (PHB) - Some major weapon damage on this one, and a potentially strong, but fundamentally limited mobility effect (at these levels, everything is Large+ and thus has Reach 2+, so it's not negating many, if any, attacks). A pretty good power overall, though.

[h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Collapsing Riposte[/COLOR] (MP) - Tagging someone in nasty fashion for missing you with a Melee attack is nice to have around, especially when you knock them down. Dazing is good for CA and preventing OA's, but in all likelihood it won't be around for their next turn, so it's not that groundbreaking a rider. [B][COLOR=#800080]Cutthroat's Rebuke[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Essentially a Riposte Strike that has more damage and Rattling on the initial attack, and knocks prone on the counterattack. While these are some nice improvements, the core of the power's problems remains unchanged. [B]Death Dance (MP) - An AoE for decent damage, plus a shift for Brutal Scoundrels. I wouldn't suggest putting yourself in a situation where this power will be a strong option, but sometimes you won't have a choice. [B][COLOR=#800080]Felling Gash[/COLOR] (MP) - An attack against Reflex that knocks prone is nice, but unless you're a Ruthless Ruffian (and you shouldn't be) it's not really at the level of the top options. [B][COLOR=#800080]Killer's Retreat[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A classic "hit and hide" Melee-only power, it doesn't really offer anything above from a little extra damage over previous versions of this ability. Unimpressive. [B]Scorpion Strike (PHB) - Unlike most interrupts in the Rogue's arsenal, this one triggers when an ally hits the enemy, which makes it much more useful in a focus-fire context. Additionally, it provides Brutal Scoundrels the ability to reposition for a new victim or a safe escape route in order to deal with another enemy or keep their nose clean. [COLOR=#0000FF][B]Better[/B][/COLOR] for them, but for most other Rogues it doesn't beat Low Slash or Tumbling Strike. [B][COLOR=#800080]Shimmering Blade[/COLOR] (D 381) - You consume your standard action to tag your opponent in response to a multitude of close-combat actions. Since it's an opportunity action, it essentially adds an effect to your OA's and makes them more reliable. To me that's not worth a standard. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Tendon Tear[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Knocking down and restraining is one hell of a debuff, especially because you can simply step away with little fear of retribution and essentially waste their turn. Not quite as good as a full stun, but darned close. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Crack Shot[/COLOR] (MP) - A Ranged Area attack that sends everyone in it down to the floor. Given the effect that knocking prone has on flyers and the general utility of an ally-friendly Ranged Burst (plus some solid damage), not even my dislike of deviating from the focus fire goal of a Striker can hold this power down. [B][COLOR=#800080]Fell the Strong[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Tagging the foe with a decent soft control effect and making him grant CA as a Cunning Sneak isn't very attractive at this level. [B]Fettering Shot (MP) - Immobilization is great to have as a Ranged character, since it forces the enemy to engage in Ranged combat (your strong suit) or not engage at all. It also comes with solid daamge to make it more appealing, though another power on this list can perform the same function against more foes should you choose to get a bit closer. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Blindside[/COLOR] (MP) - The condition itself is easy to meet for you at this point in your career. However, you've had access to a dazing Encounter power since level 1, and all this offers over it is a few extra dice and the ability to be used at Range. Rather underwhelming given the options here. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Dazing Double Shot[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Spreading the dazing love around, plus a shift for Artful Dodgers. Dazing makes you happy, so this power is good because it gives you options for next round, especially since it can be used at range. [B]Knave's Gambit (PHB) - A generic attack on a hit, an enemy "friendly-fire" equivalent on a miss. I'm not salivating off either use, but having a solid attack go off regardless of what the d20 feels like giving you is worth something. [B][COLOR=#33CCCC]Steel Entrapment[/COLOR] (PHB) - Immobilize a small army every encounter. This is an amazing opening salvo and an absolute flagship power that is nearly on par with Wizard analogues at this level, and demonstrates why rogues can make ace controllers on the side. If you left space on your encounter power list for a standard action power, this is it.

[B]Rogue's Resurgence[/B] is basically a double-attack for either melee or ranged builds since you use it to recover Tumbling Strike or Snap Shot. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Acrobatic Assault[/COLOR] (MP) - 3 generic hits, against 3 targets. Not the strongest thing your Rogue can be doing at this level of play. [B]Astounding Assault (MP 2) - A hit with a large slide, and a secondary effect which is almost certain to waste a Melee opponent's turn, and will hinder a Ranged one. While that sounds good on paper, the fact that the enemy chooses the option more palatable to it weakens the power. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Cruel Pursuit[/COLOR] (MP) - A double whammy attack with a sizable slide and shift attached in between. This can see good use. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Ghost on the Wind[/COLOR] (PHB) - A tag for very solid damage, plus a disappearing act in Melee that grants free CA after it's done. Nice to have, since it effectively means most enemies can't hit you on their next turn. [B]Gory Slash (MP) - This is a decent power for a Rogue that doesn't mind flitting in and out of Melee range, as you can land this then fall back and hack away at your opponent with Ranged opponents with little fear of retribution from a melee opponent. Not the strongest power, but it has its uses. [B]Persistent Menace (MP 2) - The damage on the initial attack is low, but the ongoing damage is high (which sort of cancels out), plus it has ways to make that ongoing damage stick, which is nice for making a rather unreliable way of getting your damage across less so. Not my first pick, but it works, [COLOR=#0000FF][B]especially[/B][/COLOR] if your allies lay some (save ends) effects that you can help last with it. [B]Reaching Blade (D 381) - Given that the trigger is when your ally lands an OA, this is VERY DM-dependent, thus limiting what could have been an absolutely brutal power, since it grants you free repositioning and At-Wills (not MBA's - At-Wills). [B][COLOR=#800080]Shocking Execution[/COLOR] (MP) - The raw numbers it brings up aren't gonna make me jump out of my seat, plus the stink of conditional targeting mitigates the awesome of an AoE attack debuff. Underwhelming, if you ask me. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Visceral Strike[/COLOR] (MP) - A (save ends) stun is always a good thing, especially when it comes with an aftereffect that's almost as crippling. Slapping on weakened and slowed after being stunned means you have a decent shot at disabling the enemy for the whole encounter. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Perfect Shot[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Generally not useful given how accurate rogues already are and how this power completely lacks any other effect. The niche use that gets this a purple, however is that you can make whatever trashy attack you want that would have never hit otherwise with this, and still have it hit in order to apply your item daily effect. That +1 Targetting Crossbow that you've somehow been keeping around for whatever reason, for example... [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B]Biting Assault (PHB) - The damage is low for a Daily of this level, but ongoing plus weakened makes up for a lot of that. Uninspiring, but effective enough to be considered. [B]Bounding Assault (MP 2) - One big charge in Melee, and it can be used in Ranged if need be. Serviceable for playing nice with one of the best ways for any character to get extra damage. [B][COLOR=#800080]Hamstring[/COLOR] (PHB) - Fairly similar to other powers on this list, but with the weakest debuff (slow) of them all. As such, it's the least interesting one. [B][COLOR=#800080]Magnetic Shot[/COLOR] (MP) - Lots of dice, and 3 ability modifiers to damage. Given that powers at this level can packing the same or more dice, and that you probably won't have all 3 modifiers this adds to damage at a high level, I'm not impressed. [B]Ricocheting Strike (MP 2) - It lets you deal your Sneak Attack damage twice, which doesn't happen too often, and it provides solid damage against the primary target. Solid enough. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Rogue's Resurgence[/COLOR] (MP) - This either offers Encounter power recovery (which is very good at this level thanks to things like Tumbling Strike) or the most weapon damage dice you'll roll with a single attack Rogue power. It looks good to me.

Or if you were ranged, you trade out whatever junk you had that wasn't Steel Entrapment and Low Slash for it. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Craven's Bane[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Given that you have to bloody the enemy with the attack for it to be anything but a generic hit and even the additional application requires setup, this is a very underwhelming pick. [B][COLOR=#0000FF][COLOR=#800080]Dance of Death[/COLOR][/COLOR] (PHB) - One could make the argument that you can turn this into a multi-attack by immediately moving around afterwards provoking OAs, but it assumes your DM takes those OAs. The current rating assumes your DM plays optimally. [B]Deflected Strike (MP 2) - While this power seems cool at first glance, its limitations are pretty apparent, which limits the things you can actually do with it, making it solid, but not spectacular. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]First and Final Strike[/COLOR] (D 381) - A nice power to have, it rolls in a use of Combat Tumbleset and a strong defensive buff with a good, damaging attack. [B][COLOR=#800080]Hurling Pounce[/COLOR] (MP) - A hit with a push, and a hit for another enemy. Yawn. [B]Hurricane of Blood (PHB) - Just damage, but plenty of it and you're exceedingly unlikely to miss if you're a Brutal Scoundrel. You could do worse than this, [COLOR=#0000FF][B]especially[/B][/COLOR] if you favor large but less accurate weapons like Rapiers or Heavy Blades. [B][COLOR=#800080]Sheathe the Blade[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Vulnerable 10? Lasts until the start rather than the end of your next turn? The best analogues for this sort of power on other classes are inflicting vulnerable 10+Stat, and are doing it 10 levels earlier. Don't do this to yourself. [B][COLOR=#000000]Skirmishing Strike[/COLOR] (MP) - It's another minor action attack, so there is that. But it is strictly worse than any of the other stuff you could have gotten due to the hit penalty, so the question really comes down to how badly do you really want all 3 of your encounter slots filled by minor action attacks. Its usually not that big of a deal. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]From Pebble to Boulder[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A stun that knocks prone is good for inconveniencing your opponent for two turns' worth of actions, especially if it's a primarily Melee character. A prime pick for the Sling users. [B][COLOR=#800080]Perfect Sniper[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A only-damage attack with conditional targeting, whose only perk is remaining hidden if under total cover/concealment. Not enough to be good in my mind. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Killer's Gift[/COLOR] (MP 2) - A stun with a slide compensates for the conditional targeting you have to put up with very nicely to make this a very good power, especially for Cunning Sneaks. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Perfect Strike[/COLOR] (PHB) - Ok, this is a bit overblown because you're effectively rolling against the enemy's highest defense in order to land a stun (which at this point, is the same or higher than AC). What this power really is an attack vs. AC that stuns, usable at ranged, that can do at least a bit of damage if you missed by a hair. I'm ok with all of this as it still deserves the sky-blue rating, just know that this power is imperfect. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Safe Bet[/COLOR] (MP) - Behold what Riposte-style powers should look like. Both the initial and reprisal attack work at range, it triggers off an ally being attacked, and allows for significant repositioning before delivering your payload. Very nice, though most Rogues will need Melee Training if they want to use this in close combat. [B]Stunning Assist (MP) - Given that the other powers on this list offer stunning and some other goodies, this is not the flashiest power on this list. That said, it's not a bad choice, since the condition it requires is relatively easy to satisfy. [B]Stupefying Violence (MP) - Some decent damage, Rattling, and a slide. While it's certainly not going to win any "best power ever" contests, it's not a waste of space either.

You're probably going to want [B]Kiss of Death[/B] if you've got a good MBA. Cha-builds and ranged builds get their lead-strike on with [B]Deathweaving Strike[/B] and [B]Killing Storm[/B], respectively. [h=3][B]Melee:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]A Murder of One[/COLOR] (MP) - 3 hits against 3 dfferent targets that are a bit stronger if you didn't miss the ones before them. Pass. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Deathweaving Strike[/COLOR] (MP) - Given that it moves the opponent about using a slide and allows allies to get potshots in anyway (thus requiring little setup from your allies as you will bring the enemy to them), this is a great power for any Charisma-based Rogue. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Kiss of Death[/COLOR] (MP 2) - True story: this used to be an infinite damage loop, pre-errata. it's still a sky-blue power, but I'm going to have to be a bit harsh on this one. The fact that you have to pick an single enemy (so no carry-over effects once the dude you're killing bites it) and maintain adjacency to it is a bit awkward, as forced movement or a single push reaction makes this relatively easy to foil. Set up correctly though, this is easily worth 3-4 extra attacks, each with a shot of SA damage, and that's more than sufficient for a strong showing as a daily. [B][COLOR=#800080]Steel Nettle Rain[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Shift your speed, then attack for solid damage. You have Encounter powers that can do this as a minor action: you deserve better as a Daily. [B][COLOR=#800080]Throat Cut[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Conditional targeting, and while ongoing 15 sounds nice, you can actually out-damage that with L5's Bloodbath pretty handily (and that provides an autohit). Not what you're looking for. [h=3][B]Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Killing Storm[/COLOR] (MP 2) - This is a large, ally-friendly area power that makes your opponents run away (thus provoking OA's from any allies they may encounter along the way). This is a very versatile power, as it can be used as an opening salvo to shatter formations, a risk-free way to make sure the Opportunity Action the Defender gets during your turn doesn't go to waste, or a way to parade an enemy in front of your whole party if given setup. A very strong power. [B]Sight-Stealing Shot (MP) - Blinding and dazing can effectively neuter an opponent's offense (but it's still weaker than a stun), yet it lacks the aftereffects and overall muscle the better powers at this level have. Far from a bad choice, though. [h=3][B]Melee or Ranged:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Assassin's Point[/COLOR] (PHB) - With the update clarifying what extra damage gets doubled, this power is firmly pushed into the category of powers where the multiplier on their weapon damage dice was clearly overrated. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Cagey Killer[/COLOR] (MP) - Finally, a (save ends) stun that can be used at range! To boot, it has dazed as an aftereffect to ensure your enemy is pretty badly inconvenienced for quite some time. Probably the power of choice for Ranged Rogues at this level, because Melee has better options. [B]Immobilizing Strike (PHB) - A -5 penalty to saves will allow you to rely on this power a bit more than other (save ends) powers, especially with its aftereffect clause, and immobilizing is a beauty on a Ranged Rogue. A pretty solid choice for them. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Moving Target[/COLOR] (PHB) - Though the strength of the damage and other effects dealt is very variable, the fact of the matter is that you turned something could have hit you into a guaranteed hit for your opponent, and that's good to have. [B][COLOR=#800080]Treachery's Reward[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Despite the fact that is has a reroll and the offering of staying hidden after the hit, the fact of the matter is that it's an only-damage power that doesn't offer as much raw damage as other options here. I wouldn't pick it. [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/sblock] Warning: fat wall of text incoming...

Not the flashiest benefit, but it's not useless, either. Agile Footwork (D 381) - If he ends his turn next you, you move away. It won't help you dodge an attack, but out-of-turn repositioning is nice to have, though a bit unreliable. Arm and Edge (MP 2) - Given that thrown weapons and slings have shorter range than say, bows and crossbows, this is actually a serviceable choice, though I'm not too sure how often it'll come up. [COLOR=#800080]Cunning Step[/COLOR] (MP 2) - This is an interesting power is that it's pretty lame for the average Rogue, yet can be [COLOR=#0000FF]quite good[/COLOR] if you're willing to pump the otherwise dump stat that is Intelligence. I'm not a fan, though. [COLOR=#800080]Deadly Knowledge[/COLOR] (MP 2) - Adding an extra stat to damage is nice, but only during a crit or when you bloody someone (and only for 1 attack) makes it decidedly less appealing, especially when the stat added is a dump stat for most Rogues. Double Take (MP) - This can make sure some Rogues nail that key Perception check, so it can see use. [COLOR=#0000FF]Fleeting Ghost[/COLOR] (PHB) - Taking the movement penalty off Stealth checks is nice, and being an At-Will is even nicer. To boot, it has a great deal of out-of-combat utility. [COLOR=#00CCFF]A must[/COLOR] for certain types of Rogues, and a strong choice for everybody else. Something of note is that it is [COLOR=#FF0000]redundant[/COLOR] for Cunning Sneaks, so if you chose that feature, look around for something else that may be of actual use to you. Great Leap (PHB) - Making Athletics checks instead of moving may sound cool, but it really only pays off in combat when you can reliably clear a distance greater than your speed (the DC for 7 squares is 35, so it will take a while). The fact that it's an At-Will and that it will very likely see use outside of combat make up for that, though. Hop Up (MP) - Standing up and shifting away after getting knocked on your arse is good to have, but some feats and powers let you do this At-Will as a minor action. The reason why this power is still worth talking about is because it doesn't consume actions on your turn to do it. Lurker's Cloak (MP 2) - Given that cover and concealment already provides you with +2 to all defenses, this can certainly help you turtle up for a couple of turns. It's [COLOR=#0000FF]better[/COLOR] if getting that cover or concealment didn't entail sacrificing the ability to attack. Master of Deceit (PHB) - Rerolling a Bluff check can certainly save a social situation or skill challenge, as well as have some marginal combat utility (feints). Not a bad choice for most Rogues. [COLOR=#800080]Quick Fingers[/COLOR] (PHB) - Not sure when Thievery's action expenditure comes up outside of combat, and I'm even less sure of when making a Thievery check in combat will come up at all (barring your DM getting Tomb of Horrors-level trap-happy). Not sold on this one. [COLOR=#FF0000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]Reap the Rattled[/COLOR] (MP) - It requires a rattled enemy, only grants CA for two turns, and it's a Daily? Garbage. [COLOR=#00CCFF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#00CCFF]Sneak in the Attack[/COLOR] (MP) - You could think of this as a +leader power, in which case its a heft chunk of damage. Or given how much damage a sneak attack actually is early in your career (particularly if you're a Brutal Scoundrel), you could, instead, put this on par with a minor action attack. That's a hell of a strong pick either way. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Sudden Leap[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - A minor action move equal to half your speed. Surprisingly handy for turns where you just need that little extra bit of move (or spent a move action to get up from prone). Switcheroo (MP 2) - While this may not be useful all the time, you can use it all the time, and sometimes you or your ally may need it to get where you need to go. This does get [COLOR=#00CCFF]a lot better[/COLOR] if your allies take the Agile Opportunist Paragon feat, since switching places counts as a slide. [COLOR=#00CCFF]Tumble[/COLOR] (PHB) - Shift your speed, no questions asked. A basic mobility power that has similar analogues in most other striker classes, and for good reason - because they're often powers strikers want and need the most. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans]Lv 6 [h=3][U]Synopsis:[/U][/h] If you liked Tumble, retrain it for [B]Ignoble Escape[/B] and take another good U2. Or keep both. [B]Swift Parry[/B] is a nice dodge for a Cha-build. The rest of your good stuff are gonna be from Skill Powers. ------- Blind Spot Advantage (MP 2) - Concealment against a single enemy sounds like an overly complicated way of getting CA for the average Rogue. However, it can be key for the Stealth lovers among you to get your act together even when the terrain is not conducive to your antics. Solid enough. [COLOR=#0000FF]Chameleon[/COLOR] (PHB) - This is a "think fast!" sort of Utility power: the most logical thing an enemy looking to kill a Rogue hiding behind something is to go look for him. This helps keep you hidden while you scramble around and look for another hiding place, and it can do so At-Will. Ferret Out Frailty (MP) - You get CA against one enemy for one turn, or 2 turns if he's taking the Rattling penalty. Not flashy, but it does what you need it to do. [COLOR=#993366]Fortuitous Dodge[/COLOR] (MP) - A very thematic power, it can lead to some pretty funny sequences, though if the attack missed you, the odds of it tagging your opponent depend on the type of creature it is, since the attacker doesn't make another attack roll. A bit too unreliable to be a Daily IMHO. Hidden Blade (PHH 1) - Sure it's conditional, and it only works for one attack, but CA without being target-specific leaves your options wide open, and that's got to be worth something. [COLOR=#33CCCC]Ignoble Escape[/COLOR] (PHB) - Shift and shed a mark. It's barely a mild upgrade of Tumble back from level 2, but what's amazing at level 2 is still gonna be awesome here. Those that didn't find anything else spectacular on the U6 list and took Tumble at U2 might consider retraining into this and taking Sneak in the Attack for their U2 instead. Mob Mentality (PHB) - A useful trick for skill challenges, especially if you're not the party face. [COLOR=#993366]Nimble Climb[/COLOR] (PHB) - So you can climb faster. In how many combats does this really come up? At least it's an At-Will, so you can use it outside of a fight (but even then, are you really measuring climb speed in an out-of-combat situation?). [COLOR=#0000FF]Perfect Feint[/COLOR] (MP 2) - 2 turns of CA against any adjacent enemy. This can come in very handy, as it gives you options as to who you're going to attack. Sidestep Stance (MP) - +2 to AC against one enemy, and you can keep switching enemies. This can come in handy, though it is a bit limited. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Slip Aside[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - Given that AC is the most targeted defense, you're bound to get hit sometime, and at that point an ability to take half damage might save your skin. Slippery Mind (PHB) - +2 to Will isn't all that and a bag of chips, but it's an Encounter power, so it's not all that bad (it IS one of the few defensive Utilities you have...). [COLOR=#33CCCC]Swift Parry[/COLOR] (D 381) - Works against one attack, so it's no [I]shield[/I]...but you take what you can get that ups your survivability. Those without a good charisma score should [B][COLOR=#800080]avoid[/COLOR][/B]. Threatening Glare (MP) - Half damage on OA's and CA against those enemies is pretty good for Brutal Scoundrels, who are at a greater risk of getting tagged by those same enemies. [COLOR=#0000FF]Ugly Finish[/COLOR] (MP 2) - It may be a Daily, but a mass -2 to attacks and CA for dropping someone or landing a crit is a good power to have in my book. [COLOR=#800080]Vault Position[/COLOR] (MP) - ...Huh? +1 to Reflex on a Stance is rather marginal, and an Athletics check is nice, but not as a Daily... Vexing Flanker (MP) - Insta-flanking for your ally. It can be useful if multiple allies are gathering to bash a single enemy (you can use this and your own turn to make sure at least 2 of them get CA). [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20150419015641/http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3384391#"]L[/URL]v 10 [h=3][U]Synopsis:[/U][/h] [B]Acrobat's Escape[/B] or[B] Counter-Step[/B] are the go-to picks here. I prefer the former. ------- [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Acrobat's Escape[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - Whoa. This power gives you an instant bailout against a Melee opponent approaching you. An amazing power for any sort of Rogue. Brisk Stride (MP) - +4 speed for one move and 2 turns of no difficult terrain as an Encounter power can come in handy. [COLOR=#800080]Certain Freedom[/COLOR] (PHB) - A daily for a guaranteed skill success? Not a wise investment in my book in most cases. Close Quarters (PHB) - Always stay close to your victim, impose a big attack penalty against you, and at worst you trade your move action for his standard action (so action advantage for you). Conditional to being smaller than your opponent (and him being Large or bigger), which is not a good thing for a Daily, but at later levels almost anything qualifies anyway. [COLOR=#0000FF]Combat Tumbleset[/COLOR] (MP) - Another good mobility power, moving through enemy spaces while not risking OA's means you can pretty much go wherever you want, which is a good freedom to have. [B][COLOR=#00CCFF]Counter-Step[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - A defensive and an offensive buff for getting approached? Don't mind if I do... [COLOR=#800080]Dangerous Theft[/COLOR] (PHB) - Your DM is likely gonna have to jump through a couple of story hoops to get this power to actually see play in your game. Not recommended. Daring Gamble (MP 2) - Limited because you likely can't coerce people to attack you and it only lasts a turn, but free CA for the whole encounter is worth finding a way to make trigger while not getting yourself in too much trouble. Deadly Sacrifice (MP 2) - I see few Rogues as sturdy enough to take a hit for another class (Controllers or badly injured characters for the most part), and while CA and more Sneak Attack damage for the whole encounter is nice, it is a Daily, so it has its limitations. [COLOR=#0000FF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]Executioner's Mien[/COLOR] (MP) - Every attack getting Rattling for an entire encounter can be a pretty welcome thing for a Rogue who wants to mess with opponents and live to brag about it. [COLOR=#0000FF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]Gap in the Armor[/COLOR] (MP) - A nice "Solo-killer" style of power, since no one likes to miss their money shots in combat, especially against the tough opponents. [B][COLOR=#800080]Nimble Fingers[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - Snatching an item of the enemy's is fluff gold, but its use is more subjective to what the target actually has on it (and is not using to whack you upside the head with). Pretty corner-case overall. [COLOR=#FF0000]Peripheral Concealment[/COLOR] (MP) - I get that this allows hiding any time you have some distance between yourself and everybody else, but that's not worth being a Daily. Shadow Stride (PHB) - A decent upgrade for Fleeting Ghost for out-of-combat situations (lets you get through lighting without getting seen), except if you're a Cunning Sneak. For them, this is as [COLOR=#FF0000]obsolete[/COLOR] as its predecessor. Sneaky Roll (D 375) - I'd like this more if you could use it BEFORE you got hit, but you can't. Still, movement outside your turn that doesn't provoke OA's and disregards enemies being there is not all bad. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20150419015641/http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3384391#"]L[/URL]v 16 [h=3][U]Synopsis:[/U][/h] This is seriously the best level for rogue utilities, which is also unfortunate in a way because there are so many things you want here. [B]Anticipate Attack[/B] and[B] Leaping Dodge[/B] are excellent attack-negation. [B]Hide in Plain Sight[/B] is just sick for a ranged stealth build, and [B]Slip From the Grasp[/B] does a lot to shake off conditions that would otherwise hose you. ------- [COLOR=#00CCFF]Anticipate Attack[/COLOR] (MP) - Requires Insight, but +4 to all defenses just because every encounter can mean getting hit one less time per encounter, and it works against crowds. A most excellent alternative to Leaping Dodge. Clever Move (MP 2) - I'm of the opinion that this doesn't let you dodge the triggering attack, so it's sort of a consolation prize for getting hammered. Solid, but nothing special. Defensive Roll (MP) - Requires you to get missed, and though out-of-turn repositioning is nice, it's a bit too unreliable for my taste. [COLOR=#800080]Denying Stance[/COLOR] (MP) - A Stance that makes your opponent more liable to miss every time it does so. The fact that it does nothing until you're actually missed makes me not like it. [COLOR=#FF0000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]Dishonorable Tactics[/COLOR] (MP 2) - I see no reason to take this with Hide in Plain Sight being at the same level as this power. [COLOR=#FF0000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]Foil the Lock[/COLOR] (PHB) - While thematically awesome, in almost every case it is absolutely unnecessary. It'd probably be better if it let you disable traps at that same speed. [COLOR=#800080] [/COLOR][COLOR=#800080]Grasshopper Leap[/COLOR] (MP) - How many times do you really need an auto-20 on a skill check as your only hope of success? If you do, the problem resides with the challenge, not the Utility choice. [COLOR=#00CCFF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#00CCFF]Hide in Plain Sight[/COLOR] (PHB) - Hiding, meet Easy Mode. A Crossbow user with Steady Shooter finds this especially appealing. [COLOR=#00CCFF]Leaping Dodge[/COLOR] (PHB) - Whoa. Encounter avoidance of an attack (the enemy can't OA you because it's his turn)? This is awesome! It does have limitations, though: it will provoke OA's from any other adjacent enemy, and you must be trained in Athletics to use it. Otherwise, it's beautiful. [COLOR=#800080]Magpie Filch[/COLOR] (MP) - Again, a Daily for a free action auto-success doesn't come up enough for you to need a power for it. [COLOR=#FF0000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]Opportunistic Relocation[/COLOR] (MP) - Strictly worse that Combat Tumbleset (L10) or Ignoble Escape (L6) if you have Acrobatics (you should, by the way), and still terrible otherwise. Why is this here and not at L2, where it'd actually be worth something? [COLOR=#0000FF]Raise the Stakes[/COLOR] (PHB) - Requires Bluff. Monster criticals are by and large nowhere near as dangerous as player criticals (so little risk for what could be the reward), and this is especially meant for any non-Daggermsters in the audience, even if it only lasts 2 turns (make 'em count: roll as many attacks as you possibly can during that span). [COLOR=#0000FF]Shadow Master[/COLOR] (MP 2) - You can ignore the need for superior cover/concealment for Stealth for 2 turns per encounter. A good way to get your hiding shenanigans (and thus guarantee said shenanigans) on in more barren terrain. [COLOR=#0000FF]Slip from the Grasp[/COLOR] (HotFL) - This honestly deserves higher if it weren't for such a strong showing all around for utilities at this level. For many of you, Immobilize will be the bane of your existance, and this is simply a get out of jail free card, along with a free save against anything that could be saved against. I actually use this, and often, as a soft counter to stun and dominate. Trap Master (MP 2) - Traps sometimes show up in combat encounters, so an At-Will to not have to even spend your move action cracking one open is not all bad. [COLOR=#800080]Vigilant Footwork[/COLOR] (MP) - Only covers Melee attacks, and doesn't even boost all defenses. Blegh. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20150419015641/http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3384391#"]L[/URL]v 22 [h=3][U]Synopsis:[/U][/h] Eh. Chargers auto-pick [B]Invisible Stalker[/B]. Rest of you can either take your pick of blue powers from this list, or just go back for a U16. ------- Clinging Shadows (MP 2) - You get an extra turn of concealment, which guarantees you get a free shot at hiding again, apart from the obvious defensive connotations. Workable, but items can replace this power to a much greater degree than they could its predecessors. [COLOR=#800080]Cloud Jump[/COLOR] (PHB) - DOUBLE JUMP. Just like in your favorite(?) games! However, I don't believe it to be all that effective because you aren't considered to have a running start (and without it, the only way you're blowing by your normal speed is if you roll a 45 on your Athletics check or something crazy like that). A novelty, but ultimately not much beyond it. [B] [COLOR=#0000FF]Dazzling Acrobatics[/COLOR] (PHB)[/B] - A huge shift, with extra AC in case they can counter shifts with an attack. If you picked a lot of mobility powers earlier, you may not need this: if you didn't, [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]it is a godsend[/B][/COLOR]. [COLOR=#0000FF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]Hide from the Light[/COLOR] (PHB) - So after you blow your Encounter powers, you can pop this to plink away at your opponent with no chance of being seen, and the ability to happily move about invisibly and re-establish your hidden state. Powerful in the hands of any Ranged Rogue, and it can be awesome in Melee if your opponent doesn't get wise to what you're doing fast. [COLOR=#00CCFF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]Indomitable Agility[/COLOR] (MP 2) - It negates status effects, can be used to shift your speed outside your turn, AND it has no trigger to satisfy: you can pop this off whenever you need to, even as a counter to any move your opponent might have made. The thing is, its a daily, and it doesn't really save you against the big guns that would really wreck your day, so I expect better. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Invisible Stalker[/COLOR] (HotFL)[/B] - [COLOR=#33CCCC][B]Chargers[/B] [/COLOR]take note. You now no longer have to work to clear any kind of charge distance, now and forever. Perma-stealth builds enjoy this a bit too, if they have other pieces together to combo with this (Phantom Chausseurs, perhaps?). Killer's Instinct (MP 2) - Shift your speed outside your turn and gain CA vs. a Bloodied foe. This can be useful if you drop your opponent at the same time an ally bloodies one, but the trigger dampens my opinion of it. Mountebank's Flight (MP) - This can allow you to do something your Defender likely can't, and that is respond effectively to enemy teleportation tactics. Bear in mind you're likely to take a shot to the face for stalking your opponent in this fashion, though. This is obviously [COLOR=#0000FF]better[/COLOR] if the attacks that particular enemy is packing aren't all that fearsome, of course. [COLOR=#800080]Scoundrel's Epiphany[/COLOR] (MP) - It can be useful for story reasons, but if your DM is asking for a natural 25 on a d20 for you to be able to uncover some information, it's pretty likely you don't need it to complete the encounter in the first place, unless he's doing it just so you can use this power. [COLOR=#0000FF]Seize the Moment[/COLOR] (MP) - You go first without the shadow of a doubt, and you get a solid attack and speed buff for turn 1. It's a pretty cool power, but it faces some tough customers on the rest of the list. Somersault Dodge (MP 2) - At-Will out-of-turn positioning is worth something, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the trigger, since it's after you get attacked. [COLOR=#0000FF] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]Thief of Fortune[/COLOR] (MP) - It won't help on death saves, but that's about the only thing it won't do. Not a top rating because I don't expect Rogues to miss all that much, but rerolling a crucial save (like one against a stun effect) and then slapping on a debuff can be useful. Uncanny Aim (MP 2) - It can be awesome for Dagger wielders to extend their range for that opening salvo (think House of the Flying Daggers), but it is completely unnecessary for most Crossbow users, especially Superior Crossbow users (you likely can't even see as far as this powers extended range allows you to hit). [COLOR=#800080]Unnerving Footwork[/COLOR] (MP) - While attack debuffs are all fine and dandy, they need to end their turn adjacent to you, which makes this worthless against any opponent with Reach, which should be the norm at this level of play. [COLOR=#800080]Wall Crawl[/COLOR] (MP) - You can climb at your full speed (a bit less if you're in Hide and without Hide Specialization) without penalty. Not sure this comes up enough to merit taking this power. [/FONT][/COLOR] [h=2]Skill Powers[/h] [h=3][B]Class Skill Powers:[/B][/h] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans]Acrobatics [h=3]Level 2:[/h] [COLOR=#0000FF] Agile Recovery[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - Forever changes standing up to a Minor Action. Pretty cool. [h=3]Level 6:[/h] [COLOR=#800080] Dodge Step[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - The trigger goes off too late to avoid a hit. Unimpressive. [COLOR=#FF0000] Graceful Maneuver[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - You already got this at L2, only twice as good: it's called Tumble. Perfect Balance (PHB 3) - It provides a small speed advantage while traversing narrow or difficult terrain, and doesn't require checks. Decent. [COLOR=#0000FF] [COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#00CCFF]Timely Dodge[/COLOR] (DSH) - [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF][COLOR=#000000]Dodge an attack every encounter. This is a very competitive pick compared to your class U6 list.[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF] [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#0000FF]Tumbling[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#0000FF] Dodge[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - An example of a power that gets better as time goes on. Right now, you're likely getting a +2 bonus to all defenses at best (which is still good), whereas later on you'd be looking at +4 or so. Nice. [h=3]Level 10:[/h] [COLOR=#800080] Drop and Roll[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - How often does this really come up? Not enough to occupy a Utility slot in my experience. Familiar Footing (DSH) - Ignore difficult terrain for a full encounter. Situationally useful, I guess. Rapid Escape (PHB 3) - The definitive answer to being grabbed; it allows you to escape as a Minor Action, grants you CA if you do escape, AND it’s an At-Will. It faces stiff competition and grabbing ain’t exactly the most common status effect under sun and moon, but this is awesome when it does come up. [h=3]Level 16:[/h] Reflexive Dodge (PHB 3) - A solid DR ability, that comes with a shift attached. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20150419015641/http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3384391#"]Hide[/URL]Athletics [h=3]Level 2:[/h] [COLOR=#800080] Bounding Leap[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - A power that subs your move action for a jump that carries a bonus. Unless you optimize your Athletics check or roll very well, this is only worth it later on in your career when you can reliably clear an Athletics check equal to your speed + 1 (DC 30 for speed 5, DC 35 for speed 6, and a whopping DC 40 for speed 7). At least it’s useful out of combat... [COLOR=#800080] Scrambling Climb[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - It's a great movement Utility if you have to climb up stuff a lot. The question is, will you? Not in most campaigns. [COLOR=#800080]Crushing Escape[/COLOR] (DSH) - Unless your campaign involves pro-wrestling, forget it. This is way too situational to be worth the power slot. [h=3]Level 6:[/h] Mighty Sprint (PHB 3) - Speed +4 is nice. Ignoring difficult terrain is also nice. An Athletics bonus for whatever stunt you may want to pull off along the way is just gravy. This is a pretty decent pick. [COLOR=#0000FF] Sudden Leap[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - Essentially, this is flanking without provoking OA's, no matter how big your opponent is, once per encounter. It can definitely see use on a Rogue. [h=3]Level 10:[/h] [COLOR=#0000FF] Incredible Stride[/COLOR] (PHB 3) - Whoa. +4 speed for the encounter is a big buff. A very nice choice. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20150419015641/http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3384391#"]Hide[/URL]Bluff [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B]Battle Feint (PHB 3)[/B] - Not the flashiest thing in the world, but CA does have its uses for you. [B]Serpent's Tongue (D 389)[/B] - Getting a bonus after you fail can be of some usage. [B]False Bravado (PHB 3)[/B] - Shedding off a mark just because you want to is a solid benefit to have. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Confusing Blather[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - It can potentially allow you and your allies to maneuver and disengage unmolested by your enemies. Nice. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Dirty Tricks[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - This just seems like a lesser version of Confusing Blather to me, so just take that instead. [B]Fast Talk (PHB 3)[/B] - Saving you from yourself. Could be useful for those times you roll a 3 or less on a Diplomacy check, assuming you bother to train it. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Improvisational Arcana (PHB 3)[/B] - If you were to choose to use rituals, this has the handy effect of making sure you don't suck at them. Solid enough. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Stall Tactics[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - It might as well say, "Once per day, your party wins initiative, no questions asked." This can set up some devastating tactical advantages for you and your allies. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Dungeoneering [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Deep Shadows[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Your Dungeoneering should never trump your Stealth. Ever. [B]Otherworldly Lore (PHB 3)[/B] - Though conditional (not only do you have to encounter an aberrant creature, you have to nail the check), it DOES hand out +4 to hit essentially for free... [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Stay Back[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - This power is pretty hilarious and useful for the earlier levels where you have a free hand and aren't minor-starved, as it gives you a legitimately useful thing to do with your minor action, particularly if you're a ranged build. Retrain later. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B]Eyes of the Deep Delver (PHB 3)[/B] - Blindsight for a turn, just because you can. Usually, one turn is all you need. [B][COLOR=#FF0000][COLOR=#800080]Dungeoneer's Guidance[/COLOR] [/COLOR](DSH)[/B] - A Darkstrider with a good Wis score should be the only build that justifies this. Even then, this is still a waste of a slot. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Stonecunning [/COLOR](PHB 3)[/B] - There is no reason your Dungeoneering should beat your Perception by enough of a margin as to justify taking this power. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Insane Logic[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - Only works on Aberrants, so that's basically a 'look elsewhere' [B][COLOR=#800080]Ripples in the Air[/COLOR] (DSH) - [/B]Sustainable tremorsense 5. I'm not a real fan of stuff that eats up minors. [B]Trap Sense (PHB 3)[/B] - A sweet trap-redirection ability, it’s rather conditional, which is what holds it back against pretty stiff competition. [h=3][B]Level 16:[/B][/h] [B]Practiced Mental Defense (D 385)[/B] - Keeping allies from getting stunned or dominated is nice to have, though dazed isn't a massive improvement and this is a Daily (which means this power has its limitations). [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Insight [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B]Anticipate Maneuver (PHB 3)[/B] - Creating CA for yourself is something that's nice to have, at the very least. [B] Calculated Acumen (DSH) - [/B]CA at range for 2 turns and learn vulnerabilities. Decently useful to have. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B]Empathic Read (PHB 3)[/B] - Saving your allies from themselves is nice, but some of you will likely be the party face, which means that you'd much rather have someone use this to your benefit. [B]Insightful Counter (PHB 3)[/B] - A very nice way to negate disadvantages from running into a tight spot. [B][COLOR=#800080]Prescient Maneuver[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - This doesn't seem like your thing at first glance, but there are characters (like Riposters) that want to stay up close and personal, and can wring [B]some use[/B] out of it. [B][COLOR=#800080]Conceal Psyche[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - It's a serviceable enough defense against dominate and buff to will, but this is a little too situation to pack as a regular power in your lineup. By the time this starts to matter, you'll have other stuff like Slip From the Grasp anyway. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Insightful Comment (PHB 3)[/B] - A very nice out-of-combat power, especially because it also affects you. Can effectively put a non-combat encounter on Easy Mode. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Prescient Defense[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - A solid defensive bonus for you when you are attacked, which helps keep you around dangerous siuations. [h=3][B]Level 16:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Despana's Strategem[/COLOR] (DSH) [/B]- Are you joking me? Total trash. Did you miss Insightful Riposte? [B][COLOR=#33CCCC]Insightful Riposte[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Making an important power land can change the course of the encounter. A very strong ability, especially if your DM is more liberal with information as to how much you missed enemy AC's by or if you (or your party) have been able to land some Knowledge checks. [B]If you missed out on this at level 16, and are considering taking Nimble Blade, you should use that feat to take Skill Power for this instead.[/B] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Intimidate [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Ominous Threat[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Freeing an ally from a mark while slapping on one of your own is a bit too risky for my taste. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B]Demoralize Foe (PHB 3)[/B] - A free debuff when you hit is always nice for keeping your allies up on their feet. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Everybody Move[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - A mass push 1, no rolls required. Rearrange the battlefield, set up for yourself or allies, etc. More useful than you'd imagine. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Scatter the Cowards[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - If you wanted forced movement, try Everybody Move. If you wanted to move without OAs, try Tumble. This power does two things that other powers do better, and there's pretty much never a situation where you'd want or need to do both on the same power and action. [B]Try the Stick (PHB 3)[/B] - Subbing Intimidate for Diplomacy every now and again can have some use on certain flavors of Rogue. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Snap Out of It (PHB 3)[/B] - Absolute flavor gold, and it can help you support your Leader on the saving throw department, which can be very important, especially at higher levels. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Perception [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B]Far Sight (PHB 3)[/B] - A nice way to pick your target without worry about what's around him. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B]Foil Ambush (DSH)[/B] - A pretty decent way to say screw you to those "make a perception check or be surprised" encounters that your DM may or may not like throwing at you first thing in the morning, and having this once/day is usually enough. This one is worth keeping in your pocket. [B]Guided Shot (PHB 3)[/B] - Given that Reflex is usually a whole lot worse than AC, this can turn a few misses into hits for your allies, which can help you provide some support. [B]Trapfinding (PHB 3)[/B] - Understandably, this can help you in certain situations. [B]Warning of Peril (PHB 3)[/B] - Your Passive Perception covers a huge area. Can work better for you if your Passive Perception is a strong suit. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Focused Sight (PHB 3)[/B] - Far Sight's big brother. A solid choice if obstacles consistently give you the blues. [B]Perfect Sight (PHB 3)[/B] - Should you need to see an elusive enemy for a turn, this will help you get him in your sights. [B][COLOR=#800080]Spot Weakness[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Basically, treat this as a minor action attack that does 4 damage. Sounds like crap? Yep, sure is. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Uncanny Instincts[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - While it sounds nice at first glance, your Perception shouldn't be beating your initiative. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Stealth [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Obscured Avoidance[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - You get At-Will mark avoidance, sans the conditional requirement, later, so this has less luster for you than for most others. [B]Elude Senses (DSH)[/B] - Screw over enemies with Blindsight or Tremorsense, which are the bane of any permastealth build, so I can see some use there. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]Concealed Shift [/COLOR](PHB 3)[/B] - Shift you when you’re missed if you have cover/concealment. Meh. [B]Shrouding Gloom (PHB 3)[/B] - A bit of action economy for your Stealth checks. Can be useful if you're scurrying from cover to cover or need a do-over on your last Stealth check. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Crowd Cover (PHB 3)[/B] - A pretty cool way to mess with enemy Ranged combatants, but it has its limitations (only works against ranged attacks, cover only provides +2 to all defenses). That said, it can be pretty cool if it does work. [B][COLOR=#800080]Immersed in Darkness[/COLOR] (DSH) - [/B]Invisibility on a somewhat common condition. Not all that useful to permastealth builds who can do better, and I expect slightly better out of a U10. [B]Persistent Tail (PHB 3)[/B] - A decent power to keep yourself out of sight, and a consistently favorite toy for [COLOR=#00CCFF][B]permastealth [/B][/COLOR]builds. Great out-of-combat utility for this one too. [h=3][B]Level 16:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Deepening Gloom[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - This is a nice one; making yourself invisible to the target instantly slaps on a hefty penalty for his attack, and given that this is an interrupt, it could potentially negate a hit. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Streetwise [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]City Rat[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Your Streetwise shouldn't be beating your Stealth. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Failed Diplomacy[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - Minor initiative boost with CA, and its a power bonus, so it doesn't stack with your warlord. This is basically a waste. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Nose for Trouble[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Your initiative check will rarely lose to your Streetwise check. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#800080]City Dweller[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Once per day is too steep a limitation for this level of power. [B][COLOR=#800080]Slow Pursuit[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Rather conditional, but creating difficult terrain can help defend allies you're not standing in front of. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Navigate Crowds[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Functionally, this is a clone of Combat Tumbleset, and thus will be rated identically. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Thievery [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [COLOR=#0000FF][B]Fast Hands (PHB 3)[/B][/COLOR] - A miniature Quick-Draw Trick for anyone who’ll train in the skill. Could be useful. [B][COLOR=#800080]Lock Tap[/COLOR] (PHB 3) [/B]- Action economy on Thievery checks can be useful in certain situations, but I don't think those situations are all that common outside of combat, and you shouldn't be popping locks open in most fights anyway. [B]Quick Palm (PHB 3)[/B] - Again, action economy on a Thievery check, but for something you're more likely to need to do fast. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B]Hasty Retreat (PHB 3)[/B] - A decent emergency shift away, it could get you out of the range of a few traps' triggers, especially ones like poison needles in doorknobs and the like. [B]Quick Switch (PHB 3[/B]) - Though the effect doesn't cover all that much space, it could help you introduce your enemy to your Defender without an OA for either of you, which is nice. [B][COLOR=#800080]Stolen Defense[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - This is Anticipate Maneuver... Leader edition. You could just flank, you know. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Disruptive Stunt (PHB 3)[/B] - An attack debuff as part of an opportunity-free move action through an adjacent enemy's space. The movement likely won't be all that earthshaking, but a repositioning power with a free debuff can be decent. [/FONT][/COLOR] [h=3][B]Recommended Non-Class Skill Powers:[/B][/h][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Arcana [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Peer Through the Void[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - Blindsight til end of encounter as a stance. This matters because rogues can't gain CA while blinded, and as such this is an excellent power to keep in your toolbox as a counter. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Diplomacy [h=3][B]Level 2:[/B][/h] [B]Master Diplomat (D 389) [/B]- Rerolling Diplomacy checks ftw. [B][COLOR=#800080]Soothing Words[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Essentially, you get a little extra bang for your buck on your healing surges while you rest. More on the Leader side than what you typically go for, and its benefits are not that great, anyway. [h=3][B]Level 6:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#FF0000]Haggle[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Redundant with Master Diplomat. [B][COLOR=#800080]Stirring Speech[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - Again, more on the Leader side of the spectrum than what you're typically comfortable with. [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B]Befriend (PHB 3)[/B] - In skill challenges, this is a hefty boost to have. Otherwise, it's a bit marginal, but I like it as an aid for non-Charisma Rogues to be the party "face". [B]Cry for Mercy (PHB 3)[/B] - A very nice Leader-y power. +4 to all defenses and no OA's on movement for a Bloodied ally every encounter can be effective. [B][COLOR=#800080]Noble Sacrifice[/COLOR] (PHB 3)[/B] - While the spirit of helping others is nice tohave, you're not as capable of taking prolonged punishment as some members of your party are, so this is a gamble I'd rather not take. [h=3][B]Level 16:[/B][/h] [B]Indomitable Ally (PHB 3)[/B] - Buying one more turn for your ally sounds all right to me. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans] Endurance [h=3][B]Level 10:[/B][/h] [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Enter the Crucible[/COLOR] (DSH)[/B] - Resist 10 and immunity to weakened for an encounter. This is pretty damn strong at level 10, but retrain later. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
