Strike from the Shadows, Live by Your Wits: Why Play a Rogue in D&D
Craving cunning over brute force? The Rogue is a master of precision, stealth, and quick thinking—always one step ahead, and always ready to strike where it hurts most. Whether you’re a silver-tongued thief, a silent assassin, or a fast-talking trickster, Rogues thrive in the gray areas of morality and combat alike. With deadly sneak attacks, unmatched agility, and a knack for getting into (and out of) trouble, the Rogue turns every fight into a chess match—and every encounter into an opportunity. Play a Rogue, and let the world wonder how you always stay in control.
