[QUOTE="silverblade56, post: 6183551, member: 6750003"] I admire your creativity, but if you are going to do that instead of sneak attacking, you might as well play a commoner. Anyone can do those things because they are up to player imagination and DM fiat. Maybe the rogue is a little better becuase of his skills, but it's hardly a replacement for sneak attack. I am not saying playing your character like that is bad. In fact, it's good, but we are talking about the metagame rules of the game not the out of the box stuff. What is wrong with having all classes and subclasses having a core competency in combat, exploration, and social interaction by default with a little specializatiion in one or more thrown in the mix? If you want to make a character that focuses solely on one of those aspects, then great, but that is probably fodder for a later moduel or the DMG. That way, you don't get a newbie making a character that is ineffectual in combat or social skills by accident, thus detracting form his fun and possibly the success of the party during that part of the game.
