[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 803268, member: 1016"] Yeah, Rogues are my favorite, except for the metagaming that goes on, which is mostly an excuse by other players to at [B]least[/B] give the Rogue player a hard time, if not an out and out excuse to put him at the bottom of the pecking order. Even back in 1e, my Rogues were more Robin Hood and professional adventurer than kleptomanic, hell I can't remember when I picked a pocket last time. In my current game, I am a ambassador and a squire of the realm, and I still get razzed by the other players for being "untrustworthy." The excuse is that this time they are all playing religious zealouts and devout people. In fact, I am the only PC in the party who even drinks wine at the Inn. I do have the deepest pockets in the group, but that is because I took a feat called "Gentry" (thanks to Paradaigm's Concepts) that gives you a ton of starting gold and makes you gentry. The worst moment was when I was trying to be a diplomat and talk some foreign officals, when they asked my name, another player chipped in with "Don't you know the great Garious? Watch your pockets, he's know for his shifty ways." That got the PC and me upset. The officals were actualy new PCs and their players still go on and on. The best moment was when I finaly let people know that I had Craft poison. The Lawful Jerk paladin was pushing his weight around and finaly said, "look you are going to see things my way. I have a sword." I reponded with ... "You have to eat or drink sometime." [/QUOTE]
