![]() ![]() Small Size – Being Small is quite helpful for a rogue due to the extra to-hit, AC, and +Hide.Keep in mind though, unless the skill bonus is positively huge (like Whisper Gnome’s Hide boost), you’ll need a bit more to compete with races that grant bonus feats or attribute boosts. Skills – A bonus to key skills like Hide/Move Silently/Search are nice to have.Bonus Feats – Any race that gives you relevant bonus feats are great, since rogues are incredibly feat-starved due to the number of must-take feats there are (two-weapon fighting and archery are two of the most feat-intensive combat styles in the game).Consider carefully any race that lower any of the three primary stats. Attributes – You want races that boost Dex/Int/Con and dump Str/Wis.Sample 25 PB: Str 9, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 10 Sample Elite Array: Str 8, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 13 You don’t have too many spare points and the effect on skills isn’t that important except on early levels, so dumping this isn’t too painful unless you’re a dedicated social rogue.
