Rebalancing SGG's Talented Rogue


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So I just bought Super Genius Game's Talented Rogue and Talented Monk; love them to death. But they did bring up an interesting point. People are always talking about how to "fix" the monk and empower the rogue. Looking at the Talented Monk, I'm sure that'll do it- letting you finally build the monk the way you want and make flurries of arrows or greatsword strikes just sounds awesome. But the talented rogue is balanced against the normal rogue, which means he technically has the same power issues. For example, while the talented monk gets 3 edges at 1st level and 2 talents for the first several levels, the talented rogue only gets one of each. And while the monk gets edges that let him use full-BAB and flurries, the rogue gets edges that add +1 to two saves, and gain proficiency with 1 martial weapon.

I've already got my opinions on the subject, but I'm wondering what other people who've bought the products think. It's never been so easy to rebalance a class as with this new Talented line; do you think the Talented Rogue still needs a boost compared to other classes in the game, and if so, how much? Add another edge? Some extra talents? How would you do it?


Question for moderators: would discussing ways to edit a 3rd party product go here, in home brew, or should it just be stuck in the product's thread on the product discussion section?


Probably either "Compatible Products from Other Publishers" or "Conversions"
