Rogues have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop near-mystical powers as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, rogues can "fake it" well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use most magic items.

Rogues have little in common with one another. Some are stealthy thieves. Some are silver-tongued tricksters. Still others are scouts, infiltrators, spies, diplomats, or thugs. What they do share is versatility, adaptability, and resourcefulness. In general, rogues are skilled at getting what others don't want them to get: entrance into a locked treasure vault, safe passage past a deadly trap, secret battle plans, or a guard's trust.
