Tactical Specialized Rogue Builds For D&D 3.5e: 5 Playable Templates Released

Stellar Dragon Games, a tabletop gaming collective devoted to providing ongoing support for the Dungeons & Dragons community, has released five new character templates to showcase the full range of possibilities when building a rogue character in D&D 3.5e. Their templates take advantage of the edition’s advanced buildcraft systems to cater to a wide range of Rogue playstyles.

The edition is notable for its deep character building tools, but may also offer onboarding challenges for players unfamiliar with the systems, which is why the Stellar Dragon team is offering these character templates as an easy starting point. One Rogue character template, “The Slayer of Domiel,” wields holy magic to counter undead and evil enemies, serving as a niche option that may be well suited to larger adventuring parties. This option takes advantage of the “sanctify martial strike” ability to deal extremely high sneak attack damage against vulnerable enemies. Another option, “Arcane Shadow,” places a greater focus on spellcasting, trap-laying, and stealth-focused gameplay. While this option does come with tradeoffs, namely in the form of combat survivability, it can still be devastating under the right circumstances while also possessing multiple options to avoid combat if necessary. A spokesperson remarked, “Rogues are known for their exceptional versatility, excelling in skills, stealth, and precision damage through Sneak Attacks. Their adaptability allows them to fit into nearly any party role, from combat support to infiltration specialist." All of the Rogue templates offered by Stellar Dragon Games in this new release arrive in a fully playable state, along with character sheets and other resources. However, the team also encourages interested players to use these templates as inspiration or as a base upon which one’s own unique character can be built. The character templates were created by the Stellar Dragon Games team, who have been developing long-standing, highly detailed D&D campaigns across multiple editions for many years. They invite those interested in learning D&D 3.5e to reach out directly to join their growing community; interested parties can do so at the link below.
