Rogue Development

The Backstab ability of the Rogue may be their strongest quality. Sure picking locks and disarming traps better than any other profession is worth mention but if that is all the Rogue had to offer what would be the point in having one around? A well developed Backstabbing Rogue can get up to four times the amount of normal weapon damage. It is to the Rogue's advantage to have excellent Dexterity and Speed followed by Senses and Strength to utilize this professional bonus. 

Increasing Dexterity and Speed on a Rogue increases their number of attacks for some impressive damage with good equipment. Strength will increase this damage output, and Senses seems to give a Rogue an ability to Backstab with greater efficiency. Keep in mind the Rogue must use a weapon with a "thrust" attack mode for the Backstab to occur. It is not a once in a while occurrence either, the Rogue will Backstab at any and every opportunity.
