The basic idea is to remove the class's focus on Sneak Attack. Sneak Attack is a mechanic suited for a specific style. Outside that playstyle, it really doesn't shine. I happen not to be in the mood for this playstyle often. However, I like the fluff and flavor of the class a great deal. My issue is it's primary mechanic. So, I rebuilt the class to fit more of what I myself like: a precision based warrior who can learn stealth easily, but who can instead focus on a more swashbuckling style (an option I very much love that could use more support).
So, how does it look to everybody?
What if the rogue want to have high str and wield a greatsword? A class abilitty (weapon finesse) becomes complety usseles
Negotiate with the GM for a different bonus feat? Depending on the feat, I probably wouldn't really care. I added in the class feature because the majority of Rogues do benefit from the feat.
Honestly, I think it's no different than Cavaliers getting class features designed for melee charges that a horse archer wouldn't want.
