The Rogue
Quick strikes and throwing blades, striking before it is seen.
Never where the arrow lands. A flash of crimson, then only the reeds.
Every calling starts at level 1 with 150 health and 50 mana. What differs is what you gain each level. A Rogue gains +10 health and +10 mana every level, and can carry 15 oz more.
Strengths
The quickest weapon of any calling and good reach with it. Twin Strike throws two blades in one breath, and later the Poison Blade keeps biting after you have moved on.
Weaknesses
Middling health and mana, and light armour. A rogue that stands still in a crowd gets caught.
How it plays
Throw from four steps away, step back as they close and throw again. Pick your fights and finish them fast.
