[QUOTE="candidus_cogitens, post: 454818, member: 770"] Rogue is an extremely flexible class. You can be a nimble "grease man" type of rogue--with balance, tumble, climb, etc. as your specialties. (That's not your concept of course.) You could be a smoothtalking charismatic type (again, not you). You could be a stealthy, sneaky scout (probably not you). Or, you could be one who specializes in opening locks, disabling traps, appraising treasure, etc. In other words, the smart rogue! Put your highest score in INT. Gives you great skill points!! Go with the dwarf idea. A dwarven rogue with lots of knowledge about mechanical devices and engineering would be nifty. Skills to max: Open Locks Disable Search Craft (blacksmith or stonemason--if you're a dwarf) Craft (trapmaking) Decipher Script Forgery Read Lips Appraise Other skills to possibly take: Use Rope Escape Artist Spot (just because its the most useful skill for any PC) Innuendo (if there is another PC with it in your party) Intimidate Use Magic Device Bluff Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) Speak Language Take just one level in fighter to get the armor and weapon proficiencies that you want.
