2024-04-25, 06:26 PMSo the Archery style Fighter just wailing away from range is less selfish? The Wizard who never casts buffs or control? The Cleric that spends all...274 replies | 10490 view(s)

2024-04-25, 10:48 AMCan you point me to where the Rogue has any rule that is more selfish than any other class? I've already noted several specific abilities the Rogue...274 replies | 10490 view(s)

2024-04-24, 11:57 AMI really can't disagree with this more. More than almost any other Class (the one exception that come to mind being the Bard), the Rogue is designed...274 replies | 10490 view(s)

2024-04-24, 09:10 AMThere's a difference between what the game expects and what players are doing and I think you are conflating the two. The game expects Rogues to...274 replies | 10490 view(s)

2024-04-24, 05:40 AMTherein lies the argument, I suppose. In my opinion, the Rogue loses a little in the numbers game (a little less AC, HP, to-hit bonus, etc.) to gain...274 replies | 10490 view(s)

2024-04-19, 01:37 AMThis argument feels a little bit like complaining that Wizards aren't great grapplers, or that Paladins or Monks aren't great archers. Yeah, they can...218 replies | 11438 view(s)
