[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 381264, member: 2673"] The reason the rogue gets so many skill points is simple - skills are what the rogue does! Most of the old 'thief abilities' from 1e/2e were adapted as skills. Now certainly, anyone can take them (most of them anyway) but the rogue tends to be really good at them. Saying 'rogue's can't do anything well' isn't true. They do skills well, and the combination of special abilities and sneak attack make them a very nice class. Fighters, sorcerers, wizards, clerics, and paladins don't do skills that much. They might have a couple, but it isn't their main foucs. Monks need the skill points for their martial arts type skills. Tumble, Jump, stealth, etc. Rangers need stealth and wilderness skills. Bards need social skills - perform, diplomacy, bluff, etc. Barbarians need nature survival skills. Druids tend to use a lot of nature lore as well. Its simply another way that the classes are balanced against each other. [/QUOTE]
