[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6461641, member: 6668292"] Okay, I understand your expectations now. If they're the best at other things (mobility, skills) and great at others (defense), and not top tier for yet other things (damage), I would assume they didn't intend for them to be top tier damage dealers. I mean, yes, it's an assumption, but it seems like a reasonable trade-off. You wouldn't want them to be top tier damage dealers in addition to having the best mobility and skills and second best defense, would you? Sounds like the Assassin subclass was the way to go? I don't know what yours is, nor am I familiar with 5e; only what I've read on these boards. I have never played through any playtest / session, nor do I own / have read the books, nor do I intend to run / play in a game. (I'm currently running two campaigns at the moment, one a 4e campaign, and one a campaign using my own RPG system.) I imagine doing nothing is like when someone saves against your SoD spell, or your Sleep doesn't work because they have too much HP. Or your waste your Action Surge by missing. Or whatever. It sucks, but it happens. I can understand getting jealous of the insane damage. Maybe multiclass if you want it. If not, enjoy the perks of being a Rogue. I'm sure the other players are jealous of your mobility, and that in plenty of other campaigns, people are jealous of the Rogue's skill bonuses. It's all just give and take. [/QUOTE]
