[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 5837612, member: 1861"] I can totally understand that, and like that you have that view. However, there are so many awesome little tricks the Rogue could get. Honestly I like the idea a lot of a rogue using those skills and gaining dastardly little things they know how to do, the whole "I know something you don't know" tricks in spellcraft alone present some interesting options. "The wards coming in were a nice touch... I suspect you learned them in study from Master Gillian's [I]Ars Abjura[/I]? I noticed the curving text in the lines binding the captured there, though there is a gap in the protective aura if you know where to find it." "Now Apprentice Jim I want you to pay attention here. [I]Stoneskin[/I] and [I]Mage Armor[/I]. The two fields and their overlap can be seen if you look at the effects as they cross near the heart and the neck. If you strike at this location when the target is not focused you can easily penetrate the two wards, getting right in there and twist the knife." Rogues are those hustlers who spend three months in jail learning how to throw a key into a keyhole from thirty paces. They trade secrets of their craft, hone their skills, and are generally dangerous for their knowledge. The only flash in the rogue's arsenal is the gleam of the knife... Or the look in their eyes when they filch your stuff :-p. Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
