[QUOTE="francisca, post: 1230201, member: 9734"] To me, this is obvious, but I'll state it anyway: depends on the kind of game you want to play. The DM who runs the 1E game I play explicitly excludes thieves and assassins, as he doesn't run that kind of game. I was originally all "what the heck" about it, but in his game, they are not needed. It's a combat and magic, quest oriented game where alot of time is spent in the wlderness. City based campaigns and games which feature magic less than the standard put forth in the PHB offer more opportunity for rogues, where their sneaking skills and chances at quick kills are very handy, especially at low level. In the end, whether you need the rogue or not is dependant on your group and your style of DMing. Pretty obvious answer, eh? I would bet that most people out their could do without the rogue, though I have nothing but a gut feeling about that to go on. This might be a good poll, where the utiltiy of the rogue is rated from none to vital for people's current campaigns. [/QUOTE]
