[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6461614, member: 5834"] It's what they've been since I've been playing (save for the environmental problems in 3E/Pathfinder). I guess I've become accustomed to that role. Maybe 5th edition intended to change that role. Mearls and Crawford talk about Sneak Attack like it's a big deal when I see it mentioned. It's not quite as potent as they seem to make it out to be that the rogue couldn't have used a second attack. All the other perks are extremely nice, but at the end of the day taking out enemies is the job. Though when they run, there is no one better than the rogue to make sure they don't get away. I do like that aspect of the class. I've chased more than a few runners down ending their hopes of escape with superior Rogue mobility. So maybe the overall package does require a lower damage number. I imagine I can live with it. My rogue is still pretty effective and fun. It's pretty hard not to get jealous when paladins and fighters are spiking their damage to insane levels and barbarians are taking an unbelievable beating while dishing great damage. Makes you a little envious as a rogue, especially when you miss with that single sneak attack doing nothing. [/QUOTE]
