Rogue
Thief, vagabond, scout, con man. These are just some of the terms that might refer to a rogue. They are the clever tricksters of the world, the consummate professional criminals, or even the highly trained informants and spies. Where Fighter rely on their martial training, Wizard on their mastery of arcane power, and Cleric on the grace of their deity, the rogue relies on training of the body and mind to overcome obstacles. They are any combination of athletic, cunning, shifty, convincing, learned, and crafty. They augment their training with a precise working knowledge of anatomy: where to deliver a knock-out blow when the situation requires.
Rogues typically begin their training alone—learning from various teachers in secret, on the hard streets, or in the wild. The so-called "thieves" guilds of Avistan and Garund rarely take such training upon themselves, preferring to recruit able members and avoid the messy physical and financial costs of training new ones. Depending on the location, guilds might operate in secret (the most common method), in the open (such as Absalom and Sedeq), or even with some degree of authority. Fortunately, constant wars between rival guilds often limit the resources and effectiveness of these ubiquitous organizations.
Adventuring rogues are common, thanks to their unique skills set. Though guilds frown on thieves operating independently, they have no control over other occupations, though adventuring does often attract their attention thanks to the enormous wealth that can be accrued by such activity.
