You could advise...Put it in Con as your character will have more hit points and be more resilient in combat. They will also be better against things like poison traps.Put it in Int if you want to be an arcane trickster or be good with traps and puzzles. (this is what the PHB suggests)Put it in Cha if you want to be an infiltrator, good with disguises and impersonation, or information gathering. (this is what the PHB also suggests)Put it in Wis if you want to be a scout and spot enemies, and detect traps.Put it in Str if you want to be a swashbuckler type who can swing, climb and swim.I think all those are valid options but to be honest the Con option is not what I would typically expect in a rogue. I would think given the choice most players would pick one of the other options for their 14 and also their 13 and maybe put the 12 or 10 in Con. I don't think the creator of the pregens has done anyone a disservice with their stat assignments considering they want to emphasis the skill aspect of the rogue class and are also following the PHB advice as well. Sure they might run out of hit points from time to time but they will be slightly better with their core skills every time they roll.I also think you could apply this logic to most other classes, where Con becomes the 3rd or lower option</blockquote>
