[QUOTE="trayburn, post: 4447640, member: 60260"] Thank you Donovan for the nod to Radio Free Hommlet ([URL]http://hommlet.com[/URL]) yes, here is my read of the Rogue. Sly Flourish - Really darned good, lots of damage, against AC though so hits only SO often. If you're the flanking artful dodger rogue, this is a no brainer. Others should consider this. Deft Strike - Bread and butter of the Stealth rogue. A stealth rogue with a hard corner on the map can stand behind the wall in stealth, deft out to strike with a standard, move back to concealment and hide with his move. Basically throw daggers all day long. Piercing Strike - If you're the Tank Buster rogue, who wants to drop high armor baddies, this is your choice. Or if you despise missing. Riposte Strike - This is for the free ranging rogue, who cares less about Sneak Attack and more about mobility around the field and engaging an enemy who is hiding behind the lines. Move through their lines, Riposte their warlord. It's great for the "Go it alone" rogue. All have their place, but the Sly Flourish is the EASIEST to see the benefit for, and as was noted, I generally feel for Charismatic rogues its Sly Flourish + something else. My Living Forgotten Realms Rogue, Sorn, is Sly Flourish + Deft Strike because he is the stealth Rogue. [/QUOTE]
