ROGUE VOCATIONS

Written by Jdebro

Overview

Rogues who display an willingness to push their capabilities into greater levels can choose to take up vocations that are made for them. These vocations allow rogues access to capabilities that most rogue do not have within their arsenal, turning them into incredibly powerful individuals that many are wary of. Given the rather dubious nature of rogues, these vocations delve into the more dangerous side of their work.


ROGUE VOCATIONS

• Maelstrom Rogues: Maelstrom Rogues, or simply Maelstroms, possess the power to conjure elemental and primal spells in conjunction with their rogue abilities. Maelstroms are the counterparts to Tempest Rangers, and their truly fierce rivals. They use their powers to create spells that bring fire, ice, lightning, and other elemental forces to bear.
• Havox Rogues: Havox Rogues, or simply Havox, are imbued with the powers of soul-based magics that mages have access to, molded to work in conjunction with their rogue abilities. Havox can use their magic to heal allies, create magical wards, inflict plagues upon targets, create blades with unnatural poison, etc. Havox Rogues are the bitter rivals to Essence Rangers, who likewise treat Havox Rogues with great disdain. Havox Rogues are botable in that they will engage in behavior that is considered quite repulsive even for most rogues.
• Phantom Rogues: Phantom rogues are masters of concealment, ambush, misdirection, assassination, murder, and unconventional warfare. While most rogues are able to use stealth, Phantoms advance stealth to even higher levels. However, they are also masters in the ways of assassination as they revel in techniques meant to kill. They take great pleasure in the hunt for their target, and performing the kill. Phantoms can strike from the shadows seamlessly, create very convincing decoys, inspire terror into their targets, and turn their environment into a weapon. Phantoms imbued with supernatural powers take these abilities to even greater heights

Career

Qualifications

Among all Rogues are a select number of them who are gifted with supernatural capabilities, giving them abilities that not even the most elite Rogues has. These Rangers are given training in using their powers in conjunction with their rogue abilities, learning alongside magically-enhanced warriors and mages. Having an affinity for the supernatural, these rogues harness their abilities to perform a large array of feats that are usually known among mages while molding their powers around their roguish ways. These Rogues are considered to be highly respected among those who admire them or who are their allies, and highly feared by those who hated or targeted by them. Because of their powers, these Rogues are most often asked to deal with otherworldly threats (such as monsters) when normal Rogues are unable to do so. These specializations take the skills Rogues have to greater levels, equipping them with knowledge and techniques to make them the elite among Rogues. Some disciplines are restricted to Rogues with supernatural abilities, as those specializations are tailored for their usage.
