[QUOTE="L0rd_Dark0n, post: 804293, member: 10659"] Thanks everyone for the awesome replies. Now that I know that I'm not the only player who enjoys the Rogue class, what I'd like to know is, why all the anti-Rogue feelings out there? Does this hail back to 2E days where the class was actually "Thief"? My Rogues also get hammered because they're "weak" when it comes to fighting. Because they don't fight as well as a Fighter...except when the sneak attacks come into play. It was a BEAUTIFULL scene when in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil when the evil cleric casts Protection from Good, just before the Neutral aligned Rogues gleefully (because the party cleric identified the spell) tumbled into combat flanking the cleric. Can you say, insert blade and set to blend? :D He was done by the beginning of the second round. Two Rogues in one group, that was pretty sweet. So when a Rogue DOES well in combat, I get that same old chorus of "The Rogue class is too powerful" blah blah blah. Too many skill points? Look at all the extra things they could do in 1E and 2E. Those Thief skills just translated over to regular skills in a fair manner I thought. Fight poorly, the Rogue is a weakling and wasting air, fight well, and the Rogue is too powerful and should be put down. [/QUOTE]
