[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 83395, member: 1118"] So Shard is a member of the "rogue's are too powerful camp", and thus his opinion. I'm a member of "everything was pretty much playtest for a long time so let's try to leave it alone as much as possible camp" and thus my opinion. And, yes, the peasant's pitchfork would probably bounce off the figther's armor, but I still think the momentary distractions from the attack (or, if you feel that the fighter could COMPLETELY block out any distractions from the peasant, then the hinderances to movement caused by the peasant's actions) would be enough for the rogue to choose his moment and attack. "Yes, you have completely ignored the peasant, and thus when his pitchfork strikes you in the back it knocks you off balance (no, you couldn't brace yourself against it because you were ignoring it weren't you) even though it didn't penetrate your armor. The opportunist rogue takes his attack now while you're off balance and can't defend yourself as well...too bad." IceBear [/QUOTE]
