Kiyen Ken'ai - A Khanjari Tale
I AM INVINCIBLE. These words echoed loudly in Kiyen’s thoughts. MY SKILLS ARE UNRIVALED. His heart paced wildly, his head throbbed feverously, and he quivered uncontrollably with excitement. THE POWER OF MY STRIKE HAS NO EQUAL. His eyes flew open and quickly focused on his adversary. The wide grin o...

Hmm, I dunno. I think adding attacks or improving weapons would make rogues infringe upon the ranger's domain of single target melee damage. I think we need to look into other things to make rogues more desirable to groups. Some suggestions I'd have would be giving rogues riposte, dimensional fold, ...

I'm really curious what the staff were thinking when they put in the new change for awareness.
