[QUOTE="Bacon of immorality, post: 7226670, member: 6895287"] @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=23484"]Kobold Stew[/URL][/U][/B][/I] Why thank you! I'm glad to hear it! :) Yeah right? It's a really fun concept and many of the other Classes have Archetypes that does something completely different so why not go for the Rogue? That's definitely a Strength based Rogue, no question about it. And it could be really fun to play, trolling people with the grapple mechanics. But that's not really what I'm after. I want the kind of Rogue that kicks people in the face and breaks down reinforced steel doors with one fell swing of his/her greatsword. Or knuckle duster for that matter. Yeah you are 100% right. This is a pretty crappy design, and I see that now. It is a goner. That is better wording for sure, I'll look into that. But regarding the rest... one thing that sets the "Brutal Genius" apart from other Rogues is the fact that it knows how to use heavier weaponry and what's more so, knows how to use it effectively with the Sneak Attack. I really don't see how it would be broken if a Rogue chooses a 2H weapon over dual wielding. If anything, it should be notably less effective due to the fact that a Rogues main damage output comes from Sneak Attack and by choosing one weapon instead of two you practically halve your chance to land an attack. A Rogue doesn't really want a weapon that deals as much damage as possible, the Rogue wants as many chances to strike an opponent as possible, to trigger Sneak Attack. That's my opinion, at least :p All feedback helps and is also very much appreciated! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me :) [/QUOTE]
