[QUOTE="mlund, post: 5775691, member: 50304"] Rogues are, to me, characterized by being the best Skill Monkeys and using stats other than Strength to do damage in melee. "Finesse," "Expertise," "Dirty," and "Psychological" all come to mind when describing the ways a Rogue will fight. That's one of the reasons why I always see the Bard coming in under the Rogue umbrella (or Super-Class as it were). The Thief Archetype is a Rogue invested into acts of Stealth, Slight-of-Hand, Traps, and Acrobatics along with dangerous agility and accuracy. I feel like the Hunter-style Ranger is also a Rogue, just the wilderness + ranged attacks model. The Bard Archetype is the "mouthy" direction a Rogue can go in, full of social and information skills as well as a bag of magic tricks. Duelists and two-weapon fighters and scouts all fall nicely under this Super-Class too, in contrast to Fighters with their heavy armor, high hit-points, and brute-force weapons. - Marty Lund [/QUOTE]
