4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Rogues Revealed!
Wizards posted the entire entry for a rogue from the new PHB. Here is the link to the raw data.
Rogue Link
I am trying to minimize my contribution to 4th Edition hype, so I will be brief.
What I liked:
Clearly defined role and character setup.
Sneak attack lives on!
Character build suggestions for a new player.
What I hated:
Clearly defined role and character setup.
Character build suggestions for a new player.
No, that is not a misprint. I am concerned that in Wizard’s attempt to make the game more user friendly, they are creating standard templates that limit creativity. I am willing to wager that the suggested feat choices listed are the “best” mathematically and tactically for the rogue to have. I know you can pick whatever you like, but I feel new players should be allowed to pick character feat/traits/powers without so much guidance. “Mistakes” during character building often lead to more interesting characters.
I fear that Wizards is creating a clone army of PC types with little variation to appease a generation weened on MMORPGs.
I hope I am wrong.
