Dwarf – Rogue

A dwarf rogue may explore underground structures, rescue trapped people, or know safe routes beyond a locked gate. Stone Sense helps the character read an environment where others see only a wall. Rogue training develops agility, while retained strength offers practical options. The role is interesting precisely because it combines discretion with the courage to enter unknown underground spaces.

Within the party, the rogue helps gather information, pass unnoticed, and gain access using suitable tools. The greatest contribution often comes before combat, when scouting helps the group understand what it can avoid. Soft Steps makes ordinary sneaking easier, but an exceptional obstacle may require a roll and the ability cannot create cover where none exists. Others' trust depends on the rogue's decisions, so defining personal boundaries and an attitude toward other people's property is useful.
