Rogues

>Rogues, thieves, burglars, ruffians, the dickass
What term do you prefer for our favorite crit fiends?

I've personally use "theif," as very rarely do I get players who don't lie, cheat, or steal their way to victory.

I've always been a fan of old mob terms. Shit like "Goombah".

They were first added in the Greyhawk splat, and it called them "Thief".

I like thief.

Unlike "rogue" or "ruffian", it doesn't necessarily imply the character will go out of his way to dick over the party.

Acrobat

I like rogue because I like vague terms like fighter, and magic-user to categorize other classes.

But it does...? A thief is someone who literally steals shit.

I enjoy burglar, scout, theif, or rogue.

Ninjas.

>crit fiends
in my day the thief didn't even fight, he carried the bandages and guarded the escape route.

Taffer

Not necessarily your shit though.

I like Fast Guy.

It's a good complement to Strong Guy and Smart Guy, although normally I like to be a Wise Guy.

Rouge

A rogue is a dastardly villain. A thief is a pickpocket or burglar.

OP here. Why is it that only rogues have their class mispelled?
Hell,I realized I typed "theif" instead of "thief."

You pronounce "rogue" as "roug" and "rouge" as "ruuzh"

Those are pretty much all the stats any system needs.

He can steal shit without stealing from his friends.

He can even steal things for his friends.

>He can even steal things for his friends

This is probably one of the reasons he was recruited to the party in the first place..

Amortal.

When I hear rogue I generally think of the charming gentleman who has a hint of playful danger.

Rolling

I prefer either swashbuckler, charlatan, archaeologist, assassin, or prostitute, depending on the role's emphasis.

A Wise Guy, huh? I knew a Wise Guy once. Now he's sleeping with the fishes, see.

Bandit, Cutpurse, Robber, Brigand, Highwayman, Outlaw, Knave, Dodgy Bastard, ect.

That's more like a rake.

Oh, hello Fernando

>rake
This sounds neutral enough to me

I might as well ask this here instead of the warhammer fantasy battle thread. I'm thinking of making a priest of Ranald character for wfrp 2e but not sure how i should play him as.

Should i just play him like regular cheeky rogue or is there more to them?

Reading through the old Dark Sun campaign stuff, they lump classes under three broad categories. Warriors, Wizards and Rogues, with Thief being a type of Rogue, in contrast to Bards.

You missed the best term ever for a rogue:

>Booby Cheat.

Which is literally and specifically used for this kind of thief too, more Face and charming lady's man who seduces old gentlewomen and robs them blind, for as Thomas Jefferson once put it:

>At night, all cats are grey, but in the morning their jewels still sparkle.

Hatchetman

In literature, they were the bad guys of early Romance literature - people who would corrupt young ladies.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_(character)
It's a pretty broad category. I'd say that most rogue-types would fall under one of the types of rakes listed here.

I call them what everyone calls them.

>Rouge

Because guys...

Rouge is overpowered.

More like, "overpowdered."

Being of a tradition of Veeky Forums that deals with Spain, Italy and Mexico, I use rogues. Term has more meaning the more you read about it. Is like every single one of these fuckers steals but that's not what defines them, most of them have fast brains and some wit which partially defines them, and all of them see morality and shit through a different angle which may be just the center point along with their ability to get anything from anyone without killing them (alignment varies OC).

Calling them crit friends is part of the contamination of the genre that wants everyone in the front lines at all times and is like throwing acid at the archetype's face. Old backstab mechanics were more coherent in this regard IMO.

I prefre to break them up into multiple classes.

Who else Fantasycraft in here?

Smarts and Wises are unnecessary. Players should use their own brains when solving puzzles or making decisions. The character is meant to represent a physical avatar of the player and should therefore have only physical stats. Fasts and Strongs are pretty much all you need in that department, aside from maybe some special class-specific one?

Fuck, should I put this pic in the "rogues" folder or the "warrior" folder of character art

Why not both?

Put a copy in each?

I just call em stabby guys

I use "Rogue", "Sneak" and "Thief" most commonly. OoC, of course.

IC, I refer to them for what they say they are. "Wanderer", "Illusionist", "Con-man", "Pirate", "Ninja"... whatever.

Unnaceptable

That's how you get hybrid classes son.

>At night, all cats are grey, but in the morning their jewels still sparkle.

What did he mean by this?

No, seriously. What did he mean by this?

I put it in my "fighter" character.

He just seems like a, you know, like a brawler or something.

That one guy who sits in a bar, hearing some local big-guys smack talking him while he just sits in the corner, drinking.

Then one of them comes over to him and says something like "I don't like the look of your eyes, boy...I think I'll take 'em", and the moment he pulls a knife on the silent fighter, the shadowy figure explodes in a whirlwind of violence and knives.

To me, rogues don't really know how to fight all too well. I mean, sure, they can hold their own in a fistfight alright, but not like the guy in the pic can.

That guy in the pic can handle 5 or more guys at once, and he'll do it non-lethally too, just to spare their "deeply miserable lives", before flipping a coin at the bartender and apologizing for the mess he made.

That's the kind of guy I see in that picture. A fighter, not a hider.

He was talking to a man who asked him about whether the sex with an old lady was acceptable and Thomas Jefferson was all like "nigga, in the dark your dick can't tell that pussy is wrinkly, so whatevs brah."

The Founding Fathers!

Re-rolling

I decided to put it in my warrior folder too but not because of that but because he has a giant ass fuck sword on his back

Specialist, bro.

>Then one of them comes over to him and says something like "I don't like the look of your eyes, boy...I think I'll take 'em", and the moment he pulls a knife on the silent fighter, the shadowy figure explodes in a whirlwind of violence and knives.

So... an autist?

bland, flavourless gruel

Specialist is a good one.

Manwhore

I was thinking more "Pssh...Nothing personnel...kiddo", but someone who's legitimately been in enough tough-guy situations to actually be worthy of being called an edgelord without it becoming a negative label.

>Fernando

I like you

My rogue would be the first in line to tell you that he's an Agent, not a Thief. However, most everyone else in the profession he calls a Cut Purse.

Fernando likes you too

You can hamfist "Magics Guy" as the third, magical stat.
