The '''Rogue''' profession is a profession dedicated to the stealthy, discrete, and otherwise unlawful, or marginally unlawful persuits. Rogues primarily train in [[Picking Locks]], [[Pickpocketing]], [[Ambushing]], and [[Stalking and Hiding]], as they've low point costs in training in these skills. Additionally, rogues can train the most in many of these skills or, in the case of the [[SENSE (verb)]] and Pickpocketing, they have a tool that isn't available to any other profession in [[GemStone]]. |
|||
== Training plans == |
|||
Rogues are expected to train in the following skills: |
|||
*Twice per level in the following skills (Often called 2× training): |
|||
:A one-handed weapon skill ([[Edged Weapons]], [[Blunt Weapons]] or [[Brawling]]), [[Dodging]], [[Ambushing]], [[Perception]], and [[Stalking and Hiding]] |
|||
*Once, alternating twice every other level (or 1.5× training): |
|||
:[[Shield Use]] and [[Combat Maneuvers]] |
|||
*Once per level (or 1× training): |
|||
:[[Physical Training]] and [[Armor Use]] |
|||
A character that uses [[Two Weapon Combat]] or decides to train in [[Two-handed Weapons]] is suggested to train more in Dodging to make up for the loss of a shield. It is not recommended to train in [[Polearm Weapons]] as a two-handed polearm weapon cannot be used while ambushing. [[Ranged Weapons]] is a very viable training path for rogues, however, such a training path would be very different than the one listed above. |

Striking from the shadows, '''Rogues''' are the masters of [[Ambush|stealth combat]]. With speed and agility, Rogues maneuver and dodge their way through the battlefield. This makes them most adept with lighter weapons and armor, though they are proficient with a wide variety of equipment. Outside of combat, the Rogue is more than capable of training any skill that may suit their needs. Their unparalleled abilities at [[Disarming Traps|bypassing]] traps, [[Picking Locks|opening]] locked doors or treasure chests, and spying out secret passages, make them valued members of any society. A Rogue is even capable of a modest amount of spellcasting, further increasing their versatility. |

Rogues can achieve expertise in many different means of combat. They can hide and ambush enemies with melee or ranged weapons, use a shield or wield two weapons or be an unarmed brawler, wear either light or heavy armor, and fight well with or without magical aid. As a martial profession they can learn all [[Weapon Technique]]s of whichever types of weapons they train in, and have access to a wide variety of [[Feat]]s, [[Combat Maneuvers]], [[Shield Specialization]]s, and [[Armor Specialization]]s. They are the only profession able to train up to three times per level in [[Stalking and Hiding]] and [[Perception]]. They are also the best profession at [[Disarming Traps]] and [[Picking Locks]], if trained in those skills. The [[Rogue Guild]] is available to all rogues of at least 15th level, giving access to additional combat maneuvers and locksmithing tools. |

Striking from the shadows, Rogues are the masters of stealth combat. With speed and agility, Rogues maneuver and dodge their way through the battlefield. This makes them most adept with lighter weapons and armor, though they are proficient with a wide variety of equipment. Outside of combat, the Rogue is more than capable of training any skill that may suit their needs.
