  • 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.
