The Rogue is one of the 12 classes in . Having a rogue character in your party is always useful, as their large bonuses on actions such as pickpocketing and lock-picking allow you to skip some tricky puzzles easily and have more access to loot.
When it comes to combat, the Rogue’s selling feature is their s ability. Rogues in are proficient in using one-handed weapons such as Short swords, Longswords, Daggers, Rapiers, and Hand Crossbows.
Though daggers tend to do less damage by default, several throughout the game provide very useful passive effects. Only using one hand each meansyou can mix and match different weapons together — but which weapons are the best for your Rogue character? The only ranged weapons that Rogues are proficient with without multi-classing are hand crossbows. There are not many of these in the game, but the best one available is the Hellfire hand crossbow, which can be looted from Yurgir in the Gauntlet of Shar.
This is one of two +2 hand Crossbows, and the other doesn’t grant any unique perks. This bow comes with Scorching Ray as a third3rd-level spell and can inflict the burning condition onto enemies if the wielder is hiding or invisible — and rogues will often find themselves attacking from the shadows.
The Shortsword Of First Blood is found on a deceased deep gnome outside the Decrepit village in Act One’s Underdark. It deals an extra 1d8 damage to any enemies who haven’t been injured yet and still have all their hit points, which is more than double its base damage of 1d6.
