Description

Rogues are primarily damage dealers who are also able to control the ebb and flow of combat. Their weapons of choice are either ranged weapons, such as bows or crossbows, and/or one-hand melee weapons such as daggers, swords, or axes. Rogues are also able to disorient enemies, which warriors or mages can take advantage of.
