Rogue Classes & Rogue Abilities

Typical classes for a rogue include Jack-of-All-Trades, Thief, Pirate, Scout and Spy with specialisations in Assassin, Shadow-Master, Blademaster, Alchemist, Mafia-Lord, Pirate-Lord, Jack-of-All-Trades and Spymaster. Jack-of-All Trades specialisation allows for the most customisation across all classes. There are a number of skills a rogue can and should learn, although some selectivity is only natural depending whether one opts for a combat oriented approach or more stealth and possibly impersonations and disguise. General skills include moving silently, hiding in shadows, picking locks, item lore, combat expertise, find traps, persuade and bargaining.

Be aware, thievery in Memory is considered a crime, and is punishable by imprisonment or even death for repeat offenders. Due care should be exercised, as dispositions can rapidly decrease, causing the player great difficulty in a number of circumstances.
