Pathfinder Rules for Rogue

Rogues are found in every city, town and village in the world of Gaea. The most common criminals are experts and warriors, representing the typical thug and cutthroat, but Rogues are often the elite of criminal organizations, spies, explorers and infiltrators. Many also serve as diplomats and others even work to solve crimes and mysteries as investigators and inquisitive agents. For even more, the thrill of adventure and the hunting of ancient ruins and the solving of puzzles and traps is a tempting endeavor and at this they are second to no one.

The Rogue is a flexible class that can benefit from a number of different areas. Not all Rogues are thieves and criminals. A Rogue can easily be a gentleman spy as much as a bounty hunter or tracker. For those who are interested in life on the darker side of things, there are a number of criminal guilds that do appeal to Rogue like characters and that offer benefits for their loyalty and membership.

Starter Kits

Rogues are often sly thieves and glib-tongued skill masters. They aren't primary combatants, but can slip in and help where they're needed. Many of them focus on dexterity, with other attributes as secondary. They pick locks and find traps, but tend to be good at getting where they're not supposed to be. Since Tenebrae focuses on groups rather than a lot of solo adventures, be sure to be prepared to work with your party.

Rogues possess a number of tricks at their disposal and while competent in combat, aren't a primary combatant. This is a common mistake, though it doesn't mean they're incompetent, just that their role is different.

Common combat styles for the rogue include two-weapon fighting, fencing, or sword and shield fighting. Both of these styles require a high dex, and as many rogues aren't very strong, they tend to take Weapon Finesse. Another popular style is archery, though sneak-attack at a distance is difficult.
