Message: <blockquote data-quote="thecasualoblivion" data-source="post: 4584054" data-attributes="member: 59096">I would suggest Drow and Halfling over all other Rogue races. They have the perfect stat array for Artful Dodger(the best of the Rogue builds), and have very synergistic racial features. Halflings are mobile and hard to kill, while Drow excel at producing their own combat advantage. After Drow/Halfling, we have Eladrin, Elves, and Humans. Elves are probably the best of these, as you can dump Cha and go Brutal Scoundrel with good Wis and perception. They get a really sexy feat out of martial power too. Eladrin's teleport is nice on a Rogue, and the extra skill isn't anything to sneeze at. Humans are an underrated Rogue race. The extra at-will isn't wasted on a Rogue, and the +1 to Fort/Ref/Will is very nice, as are human feats and the extra skill. Rogues aren't terribly stat intensive, so you don't get burned by the lack of the second +2. Out of the PHB/FRPG/Dragon races:1. Halfling--The standard2. Drow--Almost as good as Halflings, and more powerful on offense3. Elf--Sneaky Accuracy from Martial Power is teh sex4. Human--Very underrated, and can do Artful and Brutal equally well5. Eladrin--Teleportation is nice, and you should take advantage of the mobility to go Brutal6. Tiefling--Artful Dodger maxes Cha so Infernal Wrath is nasty. 7. Half-Elf--Pretty solid at Artful Dodger, and the +2 Con isn't wasted8. Gnoll--Not a fan of this race in general9. Genasi--Earthsoul=combat advantage, and you benefit from multiple manifestations as well10. Dragonborn--bonuses to both secondary stats, but the Race isn't really built for Rogue11. Minotaur--Minotaurs make for fine Acrobatic chargers, as strange as that sounds12. Warforged--Well, you'll be tough to kill...13. Dwarf--5 speed sucks, and overall the Dwarf doesn't serve Rogues well.</blockquote>
