[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 9374622, member: 7015698"] The base Rogue is a very solid class on its own. Their subclasses only have 4 levels one of them is usually a type of ribbon or non-combat effect. I did do a one-shot as Fey Bladelock once! I was Gnome and put all I could into DEX and almost nothing in CHA :p Used Mage Armor and picked up spells with little to no need for CHA. I went Fey patron to pick up Sleep, among others. I styled him as a former pirate in the fey wild who had fallen overboard and was saved by SOMETHING in the water. I ended an encounter with a use of Sleep, helped investigate with my free Detect Magic invocations. Later, we got challenged to a 1-on-1 by a four armed Suaghin and our Paladin got hit by a crib and a 19 right in the first turn, our Monk had to leave earlier and the friggin' Barbarian got too chicken to engage so my little Gnome casually approached the guy and cast Mirror Image. I lasted quite a while against him while the party decided to mope up his pals. So it didn't turn out too badly in the end. A lot of those utility type spells were rituals in 4e. Your concept would have been pretty easy to pull by grabbing Ritual Caster as your level 1 feat and getting Arcana training via backgrounds. [/QUOTE]
