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.
