[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 4585232, member: 996"] One candidate for 'best' brutal rogue, out of the MM: Bugbear. Racial bonus to STR & DEX, plus /all/ thier racial abilities dovetail nicely with the brutal rogue. Dragonborn have high STR & DEX, both secondaries for the Rogue, so they're potentiall good rogues. A 'balanced' rogue isn't exactly awe-inspiring, but a Brutal Rogue with a good CHA as well as STR and Sly Flurish with a sneak attack does about as much damage as you could hope for. Halflings are ideal Artful Dodgers, of course. Elves make good, perceptive rogues - but better rangers. Eladrin rogues suffer from a redundant INT bonus. It's nice not being a dumb rogue, I guess, but you really get just about nothing for it - stat-wise, you might as well be human. Tiefling Rogues make good Artful Dodgers, with thier racial bonuses to CHA, stealth & bluff (and attack bonuses, which are always handy for a striker), but INT is still redundant. [/QUOTE]
