      Party travels through the dark forest, my rogue: "Hang on, I don't feel so good" Everyone is confused, including DM: "What's wrong, are you poisoned?" Rogue: "Worse... It's been more than 20 minutes since I stole something".
      It was meant to be a joke, but they made it a thing. I had to steal stuff on regular basis or risk the chance of having my stats halved by the crippling need to steal. I think it was DM's revenge for stealing the High Priest's knickers and dyeing them pink, but I have no proof.

    I feel like the perfect way to play rouge is the exact opposite of what people think of. The way I see rogue as is the comic relief character who tries to do anything and fails, and then has to deal with some convoluted way of escape. But when the party needs to go do something he will either go “I’ve already got it, let’s go.” Or the party goes through a ton of trouble to get something, only to realize that it’s not there and the rouge has been waiting outside with the item for 12 minutes.

      ​@@mitchellslate1249 Yeah, also the fact they removed a lot of things that can actually take advantage of surprise. The closest thing to that is the assassin's feature which makes it so you deal bonus damage to enemies which still haven't acted during the fight... But it's still not the same thing, a player can just grab the alert feat and boost initiative and turn what is supposed to be a surprise attack in a highly aggressive weapon-drawn charge (which is what the rogue in the group I DM does, lol)

    See, I kind of get this but my first ever game of D&D has forever altered my way of looking at rogues.
    It was 3.5 I was just learning and I got together with a kind of eccentric group. One of the players decided to play a lawful good rogue, her backstory wasn't anything edgy she just learned slight of hand because she liked casters and wanted to impress her friends even though she didn't have magic. She was small and had 3 older brothers so she learned to hide very well at a young age so she wouldn't have to deal with them being pains. When she didn't hide and joined in the rough housing that's where she learned to fight and developed sneaky ways to win. In older years she took her skills and applied them to adventuring.
    Writing home to her parents and brothers as we adventured telling them how she was doing.
    She was by far the best RP character I have seen at a table even now. She also didn't use it to scam anyone. She COULD talk her way around anything if given the chance but her morals always kept her in that lawful good state. One time I remember the ranger trying to sneak extra loot off the hoard with checks instead of sharing. We caught him and from then on we gave all our wealth to the rogue to carry and divide up evenly between the party. She not only did so but often would give a little extra from her share when someone really wanted something but was short on funds or if the party really needed something.

    Funny thing about my Rogue Dnd character. I play an Elf thief named Daliah, and when I created her, I literally had no backstory for her other than she left home to explore the world. Her parents aren't deaf or anything. And her personality is literally the opposite of a rogue. My party calls her "the Rogue that is not a rogue". She also has a little bit of a bright and bubbly personality, but she really likes to mock and sass her enemies in battle, especially the ones who call her "child" or "little girl". She also has a soft spot for animals and small creatures. (This next part was all my dm and nor me, but I love that this happened) So now my character has a tiny cat that rides on top of her head most of the time, and thanks to one of my Solo sessions, one of the Fey is now living in my hair and despite my efforts to get it our, it will not leave.
    Now I'm also called the "Disney Princess" of the group too. I'm planning on multiclassing into Druid soon just because it fits my character more than rogue.
