Striking from the shadows, '''Rogues''' are the masters of [[Ambush|stealth combat]]. With speed and agility, Rogues maneuver and dodge their way through the battlefield. This makes them most adept with lighter weapons and armor, though they are proficient with a wide variety of equipment. Outside of combat, the Rogue is more than capable of training any skill that may suit their needs. Their unparalleled abilities at [[Disarming Traps|bypassing]] traps, [[Picking Locks|opening]] locked doors or treasure chests, and spying out secret passages, make them valued members of any society. A Rogue is even capable of a modest amount of spellcasting, further increasing their versatility.

== Profession Highlights ==

Rogues can achieve expertise in many different means of combat. They can hide and ambush enemies with melee or ranged weapons, use a shield or wield two weapons or be an unarmed brawler, wear either light or heavy armor, and fight well with or without magical aid. As a martial profession they can learn all [[Weapon Technique]]s of whichever types of weapons they train in, and have access to a wide variety of [[Feat]]s, [[Combat Maneuvers]], [[Shield Specialization]]s, and [[Armor Specialization]]s. They are the only profession able to train up to three times per level in [[Stalking and Hiding]] and [[Perception]]. They are also the best profession at [[Disarming Traps]] and [[Picking Locks]], if trained in those skills. The [[Rogue Guild]] is available to all rogues of at least 15th level, giving access to additional combat maneuvers and locksmithing tools.
