[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 1487994, member: 6562"] Rogue special abilities can be turned in for [i]any[/i] feat, combat or not. Rogues get 4 of them. Monks get 4 choice feats before 6th level, and Rangers get 5 by 11th level. If you want to narrow down the list, that might be useful. You should remember that this class is a [i]variant Psychic Warrior[/i], a specialized PsiRogue. Psions get bonus feats, Psychic Warriors get bonus feats, and Rogues get bonus feats at high level. Accept the fact that this class is going to get bonus feats. Then the Rogue will just have to rely on his superior skills (he'll probably have the skill points to Feint, and he'll certainly be a good Tumbler), better stats (since he didn't need to boost his Wisdom), better class abilities (including Uncanny Dodge and Opportunist) and every magic item he could scrounge (and Use Magic Device). Have no pity for the Rogue. He's just fine. He even has access to a wide array of "powers"... and they're less limited than those allowed to this class. A Rogue can fire a Wand of Fireballs, while this class has no direct-damage powers on its list. And the skill point situation makes it unlikely that every Mind Thief will have Use Psionic Device, as opposed to Rogues, who genuinely have that skill as an opportunity. -- N [/QUOTE]
