why do people play rogues like this

"Corvo Auditore" has me dying 💀💀💀

and thats why rogues are my favorit class to play

I love the references Corvo Auditore 😂

I actually really like this rogue. The planning part of taking over the city is actually pretty fun. Most of my characters end up buying property and turning whatever business their running into an adventure all its own

I'm just scouting for surprise…and starting dialogues with important NPCs because, I mean, I'm generally the most persuasive anyway. Don't worry. 😅

Real shit, I be like Fred: Let's split up, gang. 😂

I love that ending

This.

TBF there are times the party just gets split up. It can be a fun story device to split players up but it can also be...VERY taxing on the DM keeping track of both and moving forward with the story.

This reminds me of the bad guys plot from BG3 😂

That was the most perfectly accomplished and least annoying (and actually funny) ad placement i have ever seen

i had a rogue once, that kept stealthing away from the party. not to do this sort of stuff (Thank god), but because his character had attention deficit so he kept trying to find something interesting to do around town. i indulged him and made short side stories while the party planned stuff, like this one time where he tried to woo a lady in a town faire, but failed due to his lifestyle (they got married in the end. he now owns a shop), another one where he just helped a farmer keep the town children entertained while he worked, and just played hide and seek (he pretended to not see them sometimes, it was really cute), and another one in the woods where he helped a bear cub find its way back home. it was wholesome fun for us, and we had to narrate for the whole party near the end more than once because they finished what they were doing and had to wait for us to be done. he got reprimanded by the fighter for leaving when he got back every single time. it was a really story based campaign, and i loved it.

Gortash Lore

Funny thing is I'm in my first campaign now and in yesterdays session I poofed away in front of my group and ended up in the astral plane.

Corvo Auditore is an unbelievably edgy name for a rogue. 100% realistic to D&D nerds and gamers XD

Had something very much like this in a game recently. Drow rouge was frequently the butt of "dwarf good elf bad" jokes from our dwarf paladin, so she rolled to stealth and hid his warhammer on a really high shelf without telling the party. No one looked into it until we hit combat, at which point the dwarf was reduced to unarmed strikes. Comedy gold.

“Auditore”
Whooooo boy.. sounds like some is a “badass”

Perfection👌

"you created ORPHANS?!"
"that will grow up to become more rogues"
<DM sigh>
i felt that in ma soul

I just want to point out that the people who act like this are not only playing the rogue. Let's call it what it is. A narcissist sits at the table playing any class and chooses to be an ass to everyone and we choose to say something about a type and something about a particular class. The problem is the narcissist. Get rid of that one and you can have some semblance of a good gaming experience. Thank you Jacob for your depictions that make the point.

The Rogue created the DM and D&D 6E all in one fell swoop

This seems like the kind of thing that would be really cool the first three times it happens.

"CORVO AUDITORE" Huh

No idea if it works like this, but last night I was playing a one shot with several friends and i used a rogue that I had built to level 20 just to see how OP i could make it (tbc we were all level 20 and allowed to grab the best gear we could)

During the big battle towards the end of the one shot, I would use the hide action as a bonus action every turn and because my character is a ghost and my passive stealth was a 28 DM just decided I was invisible which is oddly enough not an ability I able to actually give myself.
Basically nothing could tagert me and somehow this big bad had no AOE, so the whole fight I was practically untouchable. Unfortunatly for me, I kept fudging my attack rolls so the boss was also practically untouchable XD

Also at the very start of the game I left a bead from my necklace of fireballs at the tavern we started at (I have my reasons, I knew it was risky) and nearly got a party wiped before the game even begun. Not from the fireball of course, literally all of us would have survived a first level fireball with little to no damage taken. There just happened to be two optional bosses inside, one of which stopped the explosion from going off and then wasted like an hour of our time trying to arrest a ghost for arsen XD. Eventually we just settled on branding me and letting me off with a warning XD

It would be so funny if he was explaining all of this, then the DM says;
"You can't take his staff."
"...what?"
"You atomized it. With your dagger. Remember?"
"Ooooooohhhhhhh....... riiiiiggghhhttttttt....."

This type of DM sucks

I like the start a small army plan...

Meanwhile, my rogue keeps sneaking away from the party because I got bored of having to sit there in silence for 30 minutes while they identify the cool magic items they found (I did not find any).

Ah, yes, Corvo Auditore. The protaganist of my favorite video game: "Corvid Creed: Ravenhood"

This made me irrarionally angry. That little shit of a rogue deserves the wrath of the 9 hells! XD

We had a minor version of this with our rogue who was in the middle of Backstory Plot and the rest of the party was incredibly confused because he wanted to keep it a secret. Things went from mildly annoying to hilarious when we watched him go all "i must find this person and confront them about my past!", threaten a carriage driver to give up his carriage, try to drive the carriage, realize he can't drive a carriage, and crash it into a nearby building. The look on his face was priceless and we still bring up The Carriage Incident.

\i cast faerie fire on the rogue

When i play rogues I let the heavy armor people act as bait while i sneak around for the perfect target.

I love how he just casually becomes the DM

corvo auditore 😭

Packs up dice and books. gets up, and leaves............

bro just dmed with extra steps

-You've made orphans.

-That just means there will be more rogues in the world.

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

"Corvo Auditore"... I get it. I dig it.

I really wish gfuel was good, I had high hopes. It has a good initial taste, but then tastes bad with a bad aftertaste and doesnt give you any energy

The universe would implode if their were more than one of him XD

I need a video where someone plays as the Bard from the 2004 Bard's Tale who is more rouge then Bard

18 yeah you don't see him, god damn expertise in stealth 😂

one time I played like that because a certain member of my party made it quite obvious that I was not welcome (in game, apparently, but I couldn't tell) so while he was being stupid and getting caught and jailed I stealthed around the tower and stole the important documents in five minutes. it was online tho so it was a little easier

I had a rogue/cleric multiclass and her disappearing from sight used to be my party's signal to arm up. She had expertised perception and stealth but never actually communicated with the party like a sensible person and preferred to just disappear at the first sign of trouble and reappear with a rapier in an enemy's back.

Why is this actually so accurate?

As a rogue when you act independently of your party, that doesn‘t mean the people at the table have to be shut off.
If you have plans that require alot of time at the table don‘t whisper, just let them listen in on what you are doing, that makes for a lot of funny moments for them aswell as for you.
If you do however have plans that you want to be a surprise to them and they do take alot of time, talk about that with your dm before the session starts or maybe during a pee break when it doesn‘t disrupt the flow of the game. That way you can kind of just tell him „im gonna do the thing we talked about“ and the pause for the other players can be made sooooo much shorter. If you do want to make it a surprise to them, try to make it an entertaining reveal though. I should be worth the time you took from them.
DnD is about having fun with your friends, not despite them, so their entertainment should always be on your mind when you go rogue

What, the rogue didn't simultaneously kill half his own party while framing the other half for crimes they didn't commit? Still better than the rogues I've had to play with, then.
