[Kobold Catgirl]

...huh. Not where I expected this thread to go.

Okay, guys. Advice on rogues is welcome! I'll start.

Rogue rogue rogue rogue...

I'm surprised this hasn't been locked yet like numerous other joke threads have been.

My dear friend, I can assure you that my threads do not get "locked" and there is nothing comical about them.

When the mods grow weary of my posts, they delete them. They learned long ago that locks and bolts make no difference to me.

You're clearly not a Rogue then.

How quaint, it's almost like you are a real class now :D

Isn't it just a slayer? a full BAB sneak attacker with heavy armor feat ;)

[KestrelZ]

Please help save the rogue. For jut ten cents a day, you can sponsor a rogue in dire trouble. We can help the rogue to gain new class features, and support that will help rogues to once again become a useful and unique contributor to their adventuring community.

You will receive a stick drawing character sketch and a certificate showing your support. Never before has your assistance meant so much.

No, Slayer has most of the good stuff from Ranger too. I think what we are talking about here is a Fighter/Rogue Gestalt, which all joking aside, is a solid class. I mean it's not Barbarian or Paladin good, but he's a pretty cool guy.

[Chess Pwn]

I think a fighter/rogue gestalt is the "ultimate human" in that you'd have tons of skills and tons of generic combat stuff.

LOL This made me laugh. You need to hire the bard Sarah McLachlan to sing in the background though. ;)

It's okay, you didn't know you were doing it wrong. Now you know better.

And knowing is half the battle!

[Limerick Monster]

Behold the tale for today
Rogues and the way that they play
Some find them tacit
And most just plain flaccid
But a few will defend them all day

Oy guys we've been having badwrongfun the internet said so!!!

Really, there are just so many better versions of the rouge.

Brad eats rouges for breakfast. With layers of onions. Oh wait, that's just his own hand in a sandwich. And those onions are somebody else's hand.

This makes no sense.

Rogue, Rogue, Rogue.

Evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence.

Homebrew? Homebrew?

Rogue, rogue. Rogue, rogue, rogue.

My investigator character was part of a TPK. My rogue character is alive. I reserve judgment.

Katana's are awesome, if you're a gunslinger you should take weapon focus Katana, just to use it better.

As awesome as they are, I sure they can fire bullets too! ;)

[Petty Alchemy]

I've banned rogues from my games because they're too videogamey.

They try to bypass every challenge by rolling a skill check with some absurd bonus.

Why can't they just ROLEplay instead of ROLLplay, or be creative and use magic to triumph (edit: as Gygax intended)?

So searching for Gun Katana sent me to a japanese porn game involving a hot chick fighting (and presumably other things) aliens or something with a katana.

Checking...nope, not actually surprised.
