Abilities and Powers

This class was capable of detecting and disarming traps. However, rogues were limited to one or two items at the most when stealing them. Even doors guarded by high-level magic was a possibility depending on their level. Their detection abilities allowed them greater hearing allowing them to pinpoint a target with ease. Possessing greater physical ability, rogues were skilled at climbing. Rogues also possess detection abilities, which allowed them to view low-level items from a distance like the titles of books with ease. Still, they have difficulty in discerning magic items or whether spells have been cast. In addition to that, while magic scrolls are limited to specific classes, rogue based classes have a skill that can deceive the scroll enabling them to use the item.

In addition, rogues like Bebei have the ability to leave hidden messages behind undetected, using the coded words of the rogue language. Rogues are known to throw consumable magic items like Powder of Will O' Wisp at their foes so that it can negatively affect them in combat. Their style of fighting involves using trickery against foes. Rogue-classes were also said to be able to see concealed entities.
