0:00
the rogue can be a fantastic choice for
0:02
your first D&D character They get more
0:04
skills than any other class Um their
0:07
combat mechanics are very very simple
0:09
and easy to understand but at the same
0:11
time feel very satisfying to play with
0:13
They have a lot of really useful passive
0:16
abilities and just tools in their tool
0:18
belt that make them interesting to play
0:20
and can be very very effective Uh the
0:24
abundance of skills on the rogue means
0:27
that you can fill a variety of roles in
0:28
the party You can be your party's face
0:30
You can be a really good scout And how
0:32
you use your expertise can also improve
0:36
specific aspects of your character to
0:38
help you really thrive in roles that
0:39
you're curious about So you're going to
0:42
get a ton of exposure to skill-based
0:44
roles Combat will work for you You'll
0:48
learn the basics of combat how
0:49
everything works You'll get to explore a
0:51
lot of mechanics that other classes
0:52
generally don't touch But at the same
0:54
time the character isn't so complicated
0:56
that you'll feel overwhelmed by the
0:58
number of options you have in combat If
1:01
you want to explore spellcasting the
1:03
arcane trickster subclass is really
1:05
really fantastic but doesn't give you so
1:07
many spells that it feels like you're
1:09
learning a whole separate system like
1:11
you might if you were playing uh a
1:13
wizard or sorcerer or cleric or
1:15
something like that So you can touch the
1:17
entire system within the rogue class
1:20
emphasize specific roles specific parts
1:23
of the game that you're really
1:25
interested in and then generally avoid
1:27
the others where necessary And then when
1:29
you're ready for more complicated things
1:32
for other options you can expand into
1:34
other classes in the future
