Title: Rogues
Post by: Asinjin on September 05, 2014, 08:26:57 AM: In the PHB, there are three types of rogues to choose from: Thief, Assassin, and Arcane Trickster. I am removing Arcane Trickster as an option.

What are some that you think should be added?

Although I think I would rather see the fence path the investigator is probably the better choice. There is tradition on habololy based on the investigator and the abilities could be different enough so it would not just be another non fight rogue.

Post by: Asinjin on September 12, 2014, 08:23:32 AM: Both the thief and the assassin have combat abilities (2 of 5 for the thief and also 2 of 5 for the assassin), in addition to the abilities they share.

This conversation may play into a larger one about where to we fit and non-combat, proficiency heavy character?

In 3rd we had the Noble and the Crafter classes, as well as Bard and Rogue options to do that.
