Rogues at a glance look ok but in practice they are bad. They don't do well in combat compared fighters barbs etc they also don't disable device all that well compared to the groups ability to open doors and activate traps. Discuss plox
I have been all through the books and the discussion forums about rogue skills and it seems that you can indeed take a single level of rogue and then apply your total HD to the acquired skills. This rules discrepancy makes leveling a Rogue a pointless waste of time. Since essentially it is the same as taking 1 level of wizard and gaining every spell and every level. The entire class is bought for a SINGLE level and the only thing left exclusively to the Rogue is a collection of little talents.
This essentially makes Rogues obsolete.
