Why must all rogues be criminal in some fashion. It's a rather absurd premise.I'm going to say <a href="http://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/587/roleplaying-games/dd-calibrating-your-expectations-2" target="_blank">no. Very no.</a>First off, "morally good" and "Sherlock Holmes" do not go together. Sherlock Holmes works out of self-interest rather than moral obligation. He's straight-up True Neutral.Second, a rogue hardly matches with Sherlock Holmes' demonstrated abilities. Sherlock Holmes is martial artist of high caliber. Sneak Attack was never demonstrated. No, Sherlock Holmes is a level four factotum that only casts the spells Wieldskill and whatever the hell that instant search/appraise spell from Dragon Magazine. This means that he'd get a 7+4+4+2+3 or +20 bonus on Search checks. This means that, with 12 seconds of examination, he will notice a secret door. His spot scores are going to be almost as high, should be bother to care, and this allows him to be such a dilettante without having to have impossibly high stats to support his numerous other skills.</blockquote>
