[. . . ] Rogues are highly skilled, and they can concentrate on developing any of several categories of skills. While not equal to members of many other classes in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and she can dish out a lot of damage with a sneak attack. Rogues have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop mystical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells, rogues can "fake it" well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item. · Key Abilities: Dexterity, Intelligence · Hit Points per level: 6 · Base Attack Bonus: Medium · High Saves: Reflex · Weapons: Club, dagger, dart, light crossbow, handaxe, heavy crossbow, mace, morningstar, rapier, shortbow, short sword, sling, quarterstaff · Armor: Light · Base Skill Points: 8 Rogue Special Abilities · · · · · · Sneak Attack*^ Trap Sense*^: You gain a bonus to Reflex saves to avoid traps.

Still, a few levels of wizard or sorcerer can provide a rogue with some support magic and any class can complement the rogue to some degree. Rogues interested in combat can make effective assassins and duelists. A rogue with magical training can make a powerful arcane trickster. Rogues interest in refining their stealth may wish to take the shadowdancer or Shadow Thief of Amn prestige classes. Sorcerer Sorcerers create magic the way a poet creates poems, with inborn talent honed by practice. They have no books, no mentors, no theories--just raw power that they direct at will. Some sorcerers claim that the blood of dragons courses through their veins. That claim may be true in some cases--it is common knowledge that certain powerful dragons can take humanoid form and even have humanoid lovers, and it's difficult to prove that a given sorcerer does not have a dragon ancestor. It's true that sorcerers often have striking good looks, usually with a touch of the exotic that hints at an unusual heritage. Others hold that the claim is either an unsubstantiated boast on the part of certain sorcerers or envious gossip on the part of those who lack the sorcerer's gift. Sorcerers cast spells through innate power rather than through careful training and study. Their magic is intuitive rather than logical. [. . . ] · Wand: Any targeted spell of up to 4th-level. NWN2. com 70 Wondrous Item Creation Other magical items, such as rings, cloaks, and boots, can be made with the Craft Wondrous Item feat, raw materials, essences, and a gem. This process works similarly to armor and weapon enchantment except that the base item is also created in this process (i. e. , you don't first make boots and then enchant them; you create the magic item in one step). As with weapon and armor properties, you'll learn of wondrous item recipes through your adventures.
