Completely with BobTheNob (and who couldn't with a name like that...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) I see the Rogue from a Roleplay or Background standpoint first, and not just from a game or ability based standpoint.  For me, the Warrior/Fighter has a military background.  A Rogue might have similar combat skills, but they do not have a military background.  I also don't agree with the Dexterity based premise.  To me, Thugs are Rogues also - and that would likely be Strength based. So for me, I define a Rogue as a non-military background, martial character - whether a Thief, Thug, Duelist, or Swashbuckler. I believe the class can and should be able to model all of these archetypes...and more.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />   *(Incidentally, to accurately portray the Three Musketeers - which many incorrectly see as just Swashbucklers - one would need to build them as Warriors. Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan are all members of the military, with all the skills, knowledge, and training that entails {armor, formations, tactics, strategies, multiple weapons, etc}. They are not Rogues...though they do have roquish character traits, which isn't the same thing.  One is about what you can do and how you learned it - the other is about how you do it.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />)</blockquote>
