[QUOTE="TiQuinn, post: 1230173, member: 4871"] You can rely on spells from wizards and clerics for so long, but eventually they run out of spells. Besides, do you want to have your wizard memorizing Knock all the time? A nimble rogue with a good Tumble and Balance check can get to places without the use of spells, which can be key in certain situations. The point is that the rogue shines in many situations BECAUSE she doesn't need to use spells. That's a benefit for the spellcasters too, who now can use their spells for other purposes. And really, I don't think it's fair to judge a class based on a dungeon filled with golems and undead. It'd be similar to saying that the Druid stinks because the game is set in an dungeon beneath a huge city. Maybe for what you have in mind, the rogue isn't necessary. But in many games, those that deal with the use of skills, intrigue, and general sneakiness, the rogue could be more useful than any of the others. [/QUOTE]
