#my personal favourite rogue build is mobile motherfucker (tbh; my favourite build for any class is speedy fucker)

[thevalleyisjolly]

I know rogues aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but hell if they aren’t survivors.*  Nearly all of their core abilities are passive and don’t require recharging.  Just in the lower level class features, Expertise lets you specialize in the already extended list of proficient skills you get, Cunning Action gives you an expanded action economy, and Uncanny Dodge and Evasion reduce or negate damage altogether.

They’re also easy to customize so you can really hone your rogue’s specialty in a given area, and if you want to multiclass, they can make a pretty functional multiclass with almost any other class out there.  And sure, a lot of people like to play their rogues as edgy loners, but there’s absolutely nothing that says you have to do that.

The only thing is that there isn’t a rogue player alive who actually understands how the rules for Sneak Attack work, but then it’s like a nice personal surprise for you when the DM sighs and goes “...yeah, you would have Sneak Attack” and you get to roll a whole handful of dice at once.

*Vax’ildan of Vox Machina, who has a Constitution score of 11 and has died four times in one campaign, is an outlier but we love him all the same.
