stay away from giants


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

Well yeah. But you asked for advice. So.. put your best in dexterity. Next in wisdom. And pray to god you get laid before you're 30.

don't munchkin the dude, he's just starting out... a rogue needs dexterity and charisma everything else is out of character tweaking to avoid stuff the DM throws at you.

I remember when I was but a weeeeeee little girl on my first campaign. *sniff* It all seems so long ago....

Now, if I can just get a new character for Star Wars... other than a droid, I'll be set. And roguepants, why didn't you tell me you played D&D? I totally woulda been a lot nicer to you.

Since you said "rogue" instead of "thief" I'll assume you're playing the latest edition and not the "original" version...

Dex is primary, Int, Wis, and Cha are all important, as they modify the other main rogue skills, and Int gives you more skill points to start with, so the higher the better.

Stay mobile, think on your feet, and never steal anything from the party unless you can pin it on someone else. As soon as something turns up missing you're the first person the fingers will point at.

You're so hawt, Shadowborn.



And I'm just curious, why'd you pick rogue anyway, Fellik?

Your MOST valuable to the group as the lock picker and sneaky back up !! an dont forget to tell the ocational DRAGON to watch his step around you or end up as BOOTS !!
Rouges Need STYLE !!
