Haste and oathe are magical abilities; the rogue I'm designing will be purely skill based with no magical training out side of the enchanted arrows.
is a level 1 Scoundrel skill that self Hastes, does this violate your "no magic" proscription? (It's even one of the starting options)
No it doesn't as I consider that a skill, and not a spell. But as a level one self haste, I might take that with walk in shadows.
Oath of desecration can be casted by someone else on the rogue, but you don't need it.
With Fast Track you get Haste and Walk in Shadows you get invisibility.
You will be delaying your turns a lot/passing (Other characters won't have as much initiative or speed), but it will be worthwhile. Sometimes opponents that can't see you end their turns right beside you which leads to their inevitable deaths.
The most important thing is, you don't want to be in the middle of battle, but in the borders, otherwise all enemies may be looking at you making it impossible to sneak to get your damage boost.
So a good pair would be a rogue and a shield-bearing warrior. Or buffed madora to attract attention.
You are correct, I wasn't taking my companion into consideration with my last post. I also think I might be confusing some people right now. When I speak of sneaking, I'm actually refering to the walk in shadow. I kinda let the "press C and enter sneak mode" fed from my mind since I never once used it.
Is there a talent that helps characters generate threat? I see that there is one that causes it to be lowered abit but I didn't find one that increases it, or is thier a ability in the warior path that does it?
