Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gorgoroth" data-source="post: 6053436" data-attributes="member: 6674889">..Why is a dual-short sword wielding ranger with presumably a high dex and ok strength, witha bunch of minor action attacks so difficult to reflavour as a functional rogue? take the MC rogue feat at level 1, call "Ranger" : " Rogue", done!Reflavoring is the one truly genius thing about 4e that I hope is at least somewhat possible, if not explicitly via some particular selection of backgrounds and specialities. Had I realized at Day 1 what I knew two years later, that my ideal 4e character was a Dragonborn ranger with 18/16 str/dex in light armor, refluffed as being just tough AC-wise because it was actually his dragonscales that were like wearing scale armor, that I could enjoy dual-wielding waraxes and even pretend to be a paladin via taking an mc-Avenger feat with the religion skill...but the downside to that was making the rigid mechanics fit my character concept. The amount of time I wasted on that game...thinking about my characters...was far more than I actually played them, and I ended up in like 3-4 campaigns at the same time, mixed and matched in 4e and Pathfinder, until I realized that whatever I wanted to play in 4e, I could do better mechanically and more fun too, in PF. That's when I stopped 4e entirely. I played a synthesist who was basically a dragonborn with wings, who turned out to be too god-like and broken / OP, but it was literally the best combat I've ever seen. I soloed a titan at level 10, and took on his flying mooks at the same time. It was ridonculous.Better still than reflavoring is eliminating the need to. Be a thief with the right weapon and maneuvers, and you're your own kind of bounty hunter. Another bounty hunter might even be a monk, who specialized in grappling you to arrest you with his maneuvers. I see no reason to believe Ki powers you. The Refluff Cat is out of the bag, from now on.</blockquote>
