| I agree rogues can be fully useless if you get a wizard to unlock and scout, eventually a cleric to disarm.
But yep it's too bad to not use them because they are interesting in many area. Yes talk leader of the party, scouting and fighting are good point. But better, a same rogue can be efficient in all those area.
Additionally saving spells for unlock/disarm/scouting is a good choice for a game not kind with you for resting to restore the spells. I quote sometimes I could steal some treasures without to fight by using sneak plus eventually a ring of invisibility. I quoted a few stuff in house/neutral env to nasty steal but I haven't tried. They are a good character choice to be the secret finder of your party.
With druids I find those characters better setup than in any other CD&D game. |
