[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 4157766, member: 1331"] You must have only played at the lower difficulties. I recall most of the missions having "Don't Kill Anyone" as a primary goal. Garrett was a thief, not an assassin. (And besides, killing someone leaves all those messy bloodstains.) Anyway, I think that's beside the point, because either way it's easy to make the kind of character you're talking about. If you want a master sniper who can hide, you don't start with the rogue class. Instead, take a bow specialist and give him some stealth. In 4E it looks like this will mean a ranger or fighter with a few rogue abilities. He may not be quite as snipey as a pure archer, but that's sensible, because the single-minded guy didn't waste any time learning to skulk. On the other hand, if you want a tremendously sneaky dude who can also shoot a bow, that's when you start with rogue. Then, you may choose to take some ranger or fighter powers to make the bowshot more deadly. (IMO this is where the solo sneaker like Garrett would fit. In 3E terms, he rolled the d20 for Move Silently a lot more often than he did for bow attacks.) [/QUOTE]
