[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5411370, member: 50895"] Don't know if it will fix the Rogue, but in my soon to be published setting, Kaidan: a Japanese Ghost Story, rogues are represented by the Yakuza, who are an organized criminal institution based on foster father/son relationship, with litigants and accountants and regional bosses over street bosses and gangs. They follow their own code, and do provide beneficial services to the community - local 'law enforcement' of non-yakuza criminals, serve in festivals. Several of the classes including Yakuza (rogue) will have access to Ki Potential Trait. With some mentorship by a monk, the taking of Ki feat at 4th level, the recipient gains a Ki pool of 2 points which does not increase as a Monk's ki pool, however can take Extra Ki feat, for a total of 3 ki points in pool. I plan to add a multitude of new Ki powers as part of Kaidan, and rogues can take Ki powers as rogue talent options. Also unlike OA/Rokugan 3x or CW, there is no Tattooed Monk. In Kaidan, as in Japan, tattoos is considered 'dirty' and pertaining to barbarians and yakuza only, so this means arcane enchanted tattoos are notably worn by rogues. Tattoos are 'magic items' available to Yakuza and Emishi (barbarian), not a prestige class, however. I'll have to explore possibilities of adding new rogue talents as might be appropriate to better fit the setting. As members of the Hinin caste, however, yakuza are subject to certain legal limitatons based on caste, as a social penalty. GP [/QUOTE]
