There are a couple HR's that make the mechanics a little easier to swallow  {Sean Reynolds 'avoiding absoulutes' to open up Open Locks to other characters, trap-sense working as a Take 10 while moving cautiosly, etc..} and try to set up trap encounters that can involve the entire party instead of focusing 15 minutes of game play on one character. I don't think the Rogue needs to be changed, just a tweak to the rules supporting them and more work on the DM's side of the table.</blockquote>
