EMO DnD Classes pt 4: Rogue

This completes my primary classes - next will be racial classics of elf, dwarf and halfling - the fourth my Tako race was done earlier but i might go back and revise.

Rogue is actually the most changed class. He is tougher than d4 or d6 hd versions - he is a capable martial artist. Also they are the best at NWP skills having the most slots of any class and a list of skills that are as good as spells or magic items. Every lv they can grab a whole new awesome NWP, not just get a few % in same old skills.

Concerned with expertise, commerce and financial gain. Skill specialists using deception, charm and dirty tricks to win. Personal survival, surprise attacks and fleeing preferred modes of combat. Spies, assassins, con men, entertainers, peddlers, beggars, thieves and worse.  Rogues whatever their type mix with underworld company. Some ship crews are all rogues. Many have local gang slang dialects, local city language, as well a the occasional codes or ancient scripts to read treasure maps. Older rogues learn the odd dead language to help fake and steal relics or read ancient maps. Rogues are self-interested and avoid the direct approach of others. Rogues frequent with similar types in professional guilds and in unsavory carousing districts.
