[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7367655, member: 6716779"] Our thief has a +2 dagger. The fighter has the best weapon, a +2 spear thats finesse and grants resistance to lightning. Short swords of speed can help up to a point, and things like flametongues. Sneak attack is also not OP, only at will. I think the OP is fishing for a way to make an argument in another thread about sneak attack attack granting at will being OP. You can do it in the core rules with powerful magic items or situational and limited spells. The designers were tight around things like reactions and bonus actions, something I noticed when you give a dual wielder a shortsword of speed which ended up going to the fighter. Rogues have never been the best damage dealers in any edition its mostly about the nova damage (backstab in OSR games, sneak attack in 3E and 5E), perhaps accuracy in 4E (+1 to hit, ability to target non AC defences beaten by Rangers for DPS).
