Rogues are people who feel the the world and everyone in it somehow owes them a living. They get by day by day, living in the highest style they can afford and doing as little work as possible. The less they have to toil and struggle like everyone else (while maintaining a comfortable standard of living), the better off they think they are. While this attitude is neither evil nor cruel, it does not foster a good reputation. Many a Rogue has a questionable past or a shady background that they would prefer was left uninvestigated.
Rogues combine a few of the qualities of the other character classes. They are allowed to use a wide variety of weapons, armor, and magicial items.
Rogues have some special abilities that are unique to their group. All Rogues tend to be adept at languages and thus have a better than average chance to read strange writings they come across. All are skilled in climbing and clinging to small cracks and outcroppings-even more skilled than the hardy men of the mountains. They are alert and attentive, hearing things that others would miss. Finally, they are dextrous (and just a little bit light-fingered), able to perform tricks and filch small items with varying degrees of success.
