[QUOTE="GSHamster, post: 5836101, member: 20187"] Umm. The rogue class in WoW sneaks around in stealth, pick pockets, disarms traps, uses poisons, backstabs, knocks people unconscious with a sap. I don't really see where this paragraph is coming from. The problem with "thief" is that it is very restrictive on a moral outlook, and leads to some weird, non-intuitive results. For example, let's say I want to stat out a thief-taker, a detective who investigates crimes and hunts down those responsible. By and large, the single best class to use for a character like this is the rogue. If that class is called a thief, it seems very weird. A better way to look at it is by comparing D&D classes to d20 Modern. The Strong hero and the Tough hero are covered by the Fighter class. But there needs to be a class to cover the Agile, Smart or Charismatic hero, and that's the province of the Rogue. [/QUOTE]
