[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6504705, member: 67338"] The striker feature of 4e for rogues is sneak attack witch is less then the 3e3e sneak attack but with more or less the same idea... But people say no one was a striker pre 4e Becusethey are strikers that can be played however you want but the basic frame is still: limited defense ok offense that is great in the right circumstance... Aka what the word striker is trying to get across. No matter the edition I can describe the rogue or thief as a striker the role is not made up ffor 4e from no where it was based on how the thief played a bit and got focused on in all later rogue classes. If you don't think 3e rogue and 4e one's are trying to fill the same role, one based on the 2e Class If a new player walks into a 4e game they are told that role is striker but in 2e there is no word for it Nd you May or may not have that role explained doesn't mean it isntthere [/QUOTE]
