[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5791265, member: 52734"] At the least, against any single, unaware target I see the rogue be the one-hit, one-kill wonder. I don't think any opponent should feel safe with a theif sneaking about. But that's also true for just about any character type - whether the wizard blasts you with magic, the fighter wades in and chops you up into hamburger or the cleric smites you with a bolt from the blue - each should be deadly in their element. I can also see a decently high level rogue/thief doing the ninja flip-out and taking out a room full of enemies. It's called scouting ahead or solo play. I didn't say that it does differ from 1E-4E. In fact, I don't really see a problem with any edition of the thief, though race-you-can crit limitation of 3E caused problems for my players because I like undead. Let's also not forget the rogue's most powerful combat ability - his ability to sneak past an opponent and never start a fight in the first place. [/QUOTE]
