ROGUE CLASS GUIDE - PATHFINDER 2E

Me: I don't wanna think too hard, I wanna play something simple
Also me: chooses to play an elven dhampir Eldritch Trickster rogue with undead sorcerer bloodline in a homebrew campaign setting as a Dresden Files style Private Investigator 🙃

Overextending Feignt, for when you are flanking your opponent (giving you flat-footed) and want to still do something that isn't an attack to hinder him.

Starting my second (permanent) Pathfinder character soon.

Eno Makovic.
Human Ruffian rogue.
Rapier in 1 hand, whip in the other… you know, the whip that can trip, disarm, agile and finesse, and has a range of 10 feet allowing him to provide flanking without being in most creature’s attack range.

Took a feat to get access to martial weapons just to get access to the whip lol.
The party also has a fighter with a 10 foot reach weapon.
Imagine- round 1, we both go before the big baddie, I disarm the target and deal a sneak attack from 10 feet back, the fighter trips and does a power attack from 10 feet back. The target has to (1) stand up (2) pick up or draw their weapon (3) if it isn’t, close the distance with one of us or throw out a 1 action spell.

I was gonna confusingly comment asking if that was another way of pronouncing "sabotage" lol THANK YOU FOR THIS VID BTW BC ROGUES ARE ALWAYS MY FAVOURITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commrnt

Angry comment about mispronunciation of sabotage.

Can you speak up, please?
Playing with the volume mixer isn't fun when you forget to turn down the volume again. :3

Sabo huh?!

Just out of dumb curiosity...

If a player is an Orc Rogue with the Eldritch Trickster racket, is it possible to get Hand of the Apprentice as a Wizard spell?

If so, what level does the PC have to be?

I like the idea of using TKP for 5d4+5 damage at level 5, but that's from 30 to 60 feet away... I'm a bit more keen towards an Orc Rogue with a Greataxe "swinging" for 1d12+mod+S.A. from 500 ft. :)

The outro was so confusing he said what we would have said which means he said it but if he said it the maybe he did not say what he would have said....... I need some sleep

So for Predictive purchase
You can literally just magic satchel a la Deadpool to pull a healing pot right out of nowhere when you feel like it provided you had enough free room of bulk that you arent encumbered?

Important to note for the Ruffian, if you want heavy armor you can just take the Sentinel dedication and you immediately gain heavy armor proficiency that scales at the same rate as your medium armor. I play a Ruffian Rogue Orc, front lining with a mace and a shield in full plate armor.

Sabotage.

Assurance (Athletics) could help improve the functionality of Shove Down, since it removes all bonuses and penalties EXCEPT proficiency. Which, I kind of expect this kind of rogue to be highly proficient in Athletics anyway.

Iirc there are general and skill (???) feats that allow you to use cards as thrown weapons and do a lot of interesting things with them. Put this on a rogue and it should be a very fun "gambit" light build.

about Reactive Pursuit: if the trigger isn't met, the reaction isn't spent either

Bit late to the video, but I got a bar kee rogue who became good at everything cuz he is a sensate gnome who listened in on conversations around the bar as well as talked to the crazy creatures that came in and out (liches,gnolls, humans, etc)

That rogue rolling skill checks bit where the DM switches to the Starfinder book had me literally rolling out of my chair laughing.

No knifemaster?

Why did they make this? Just specialise skills with subclasses.
You could make an entire party with rogues and use aid.

Circumstance bonuses should just stack the way they did in first edition

That incapacitation rule really pisses me off. It's like it just exists to negate player abilities. Just let them work on anything not just things that are lower level than you

Since when do monsters fail saving throws?

Paizo need to stop trying to prevent people from dealing damage with dexterity

i needed to listen to the sabotage part 3 times bc i couldn't focus. thank you.

I read over extending feint as an additional option for a feint maneuver. You "can" use the... tells me that it's an option. If I were a DM I would just say you can't do both with the same fainting action

We commonly refer to the Rogue as "The Alpha Class" at our weekly PFS sessions. But I made a Gnome Tiefling Rogue who is a Scoundrel and Captivator Dedication, she is essentially a low-powered Dandasuka now.

My first ever PF2e character I made is for an upcoming campaign.

Eldritch Trickster Rogue, variant Human. I don’t have access to my chacarse sheet atm but I think I choose Witch as the spell casting source too.

Basically my character is going to be an NPC from my own 5e Curse of Strahd campaign.
The party’s rogue killed their friend in front of them, blamed an enemy, and everyone believed him on a 29 deception roll cause he was around a corner. Then Nimir (my character) got mauled by a fiendish Spirit Guardians but survived- a commoner that made their save against what would have been 7 damage, halved to 3- thus gaining some dark magic.

The line from my campaign that’ll always haunt them?
After the rogue killed their friend he disappeared. Then he came from around a corner to backstab an enemy, rolling a 25 Intimidation to keep Nimir quiet.
After he successfully Sneak Attacked he said, “Good job, screaming is for the weak” before dying himself 2 rounds later.

I’m so excited to play Nimir

Nowhere in the book is written what specifically "key" ability score is different from any other ability score. And i still don't get it.

ah yes after grand witzards of the woke did a hasbro with OGL i get reccomendation of pathfinder everywhere, nice!

with thrown stuff, you could add the "Rule-Of-Cool" and have small explosive thrown weapons like the explosive stars in the classic TMNT cartoon

Thief goblin rogue. I love it

So how does the Rogue compare to the Thaumaturge?

Is there a reason to choose paralysed for 4 rounds over unconscious or dead?

That intro... I can relate (halfling thief with lots of deception) . Anything but nature, religion, survival, or medicine. He is a city mouse and a gambler, and he's quite selfish. He'd rather just buy potions and sleep in a feather bed after a night of carousing.

Hidden paragon is literally the superpower "you're invisible as long as nobody can see you."

I don’t understand Plant Evidence feat. What if I’m a 20th level fighter and want to place an item into the pocket of a level -1 peasant and I DON’T have this feat? Wouldn’t that still be a check against perception DC?

Say Bo Tayg… made me laugh

Hay Nonat so did pathfinder 2e bring back the mythic system

I was reading the text for cognitive loophole and I think it only lets you use it on an effect once, so no refreshing on your next turn, at least how I read it.

Does magical trickster work with dual class optional rule?
