[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8101063, member: 6915329"] When I said that Rogues are nonmagical experts, I mean in the sense that they don't have any inherent magical abilities. Bards can cast spells; Rogues can't. Arcana, the skill, is used to recall lore about magic, other planes, monsters, e I did note that I was specifically referring to the fact I couldn't completely convert my character [I]exactly, [/I]not that the Combat Tactics were bad. Did you mean to completely misinterpret what I said? If I had been building her from the ground up entirely in this system, it wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't know, as my fighter is level 3 with Str 16 and my rogue/fighter is level 6 with Dex 18., so of course my rogue is hitting a bit more often. But I still think giving a rogue Improved Crit like this is a bad idea. If it were just for sneak attacks, or a limited times per rest, it would be better. At low levels, though, rogues are going to out-damage fighters by a lot. [/QUOTE]
