Niles09 -- Layo has a BIG lack of traps and locks. Layo generally fullfill(sic) what I expect of a dnd universe, or roleplaying universe, except the sentence: "deep dungeons filled with monsters and deadly traps." ...
SquareKnot -- If all the rogue skills aren't useful until you either go on a quest or become 15th level and travel with a large, high level group to a formidible dungeon, then there is a balancing issue here. There is a shortage of opportunities for rogues to use their skills. Can you imagine telling a mage "You can only use magic from 3 schools unless on a quest or when you hit high level?" ... The only thing that makes a rogue special is the skills. [In rebuttal to one of Dorgonath's comments.]
Stephen Zuckerman -- In the Crypts, Rogues are useless. The whole undead not having vital areas thing. There are no traps, no locks, and nothing to Sneak Attack. They're about as useful as a Brownie Fighter with a focus in Archery. ... Seeing a small XP reward for disarming a trap would be nice, too. What good is "practice" if you're not learning anything? You get XP for killing something. You get gold for killing something. How different is that from recovering a trap and getting a little bit of XP, plus the trap?
Niles09 - 6/27/2006 2:48 PMsorry but I do not recall myself saying the houses should be trapped. About the house in Hlint to loot, I havent touched it since a GM said it was banable just like a player house. Im talking about the caves around Hlint. Goblins, kobolds and all those sneaky creatures are experts in rude combat.If you want put up teh amount of traps, fine, but dont ask for more rouges then, cause as it is now, the advantages of the other classes are far far greater.

Stephen_Zuckerman - 6/27/2006 5:35 PM ...according to more-or-less reliable hearsay....

The best of two worlds... So you're saying "Oh, sure, Rogues are weak, but that's why you shouldn't single-class them! We're not about to change anything for those icky icky single-class rogues."
