Summary: A very good book for rogues
Review: I had been anticipating this book, and my antipation was due. This book does a much better job giving rogues things to do than "Songs & Silence". Concepts fill the bill for the novice rogue. The prestige classes are OK, but nothing to write home about. WHat is good about the book is tips on traps and on how to run a thieves' guild.If you are playing rogues, go get it.

Summary: Quintessential Rogue
Review: I, Like Bedford Crenshaw, believe this book was a better guidebook for a rogue then was the Song & Silence put out by Wizards. The prestige classes are really no better or worse the S&S, so if this is what you really are looking for, it's not the book for you. One of the things I really liked about this book goes into detail about possible uses to explore and roleplay that may never have been considered. It's very role-play oriented, giving more then just statistics of use, it gives you possible scenarios to use them in. I particularly liked the focus on mundane, every-day items and their use for a rogue. Some of the feats are redundant, but some of them open a path to some really interesting uses. It gives the character more depth then just the person to open locks and disable traps. This book was certainly worth the price and the wait. Mongoose has done a great job with this one.
