The Rouge: Rogue Class Variant and Subclasses (5e)
The mysterious "rouge" is a class mentioned over and over in online conversations¸ yet its features have never been described in a D&D product before! In fact¸ "rouge class abilities" and "what does a rouge do in dnd" are popular Google searches¸ yet no answers can be found... The author has sought to provide the first full rouge class¸ based on clues from social media (it seems to be very similar to a rogue from most comments) and all the concepts the name "rouge" calls to mind! This variant rogue has distinctive features and unique flavor to fulfill all expectations for this much-discusssed yet strangely absent character option. Also included are four subclass¸ usable by either the rouge OR the existing rogue class! Rogue subclasses (and rouge subclasses) include: The Theif - How does this character type (also named repeatedly in many blogs and internet posts) differ from the traditional thief? The answer may shock you! The Theif-Acrobat - Another enigma repeated often but never published¸ this rougish archetype combines the thief-acrobat from 1st Edition AD&D with the inimitable powers of a theif! The Tomb Robber - Pretty much Indiana Jones... but with the special flavor only the powers of the rouge can provide! The Wondrous Glamourist - This expert artisan of life-changing makeovers combines spellcasting with disguise kit expertise to transform his allies' self-esteem and help enemies face the insecurities that haunt them.
