Arcane Trickster is perhaps the most surprisingly good subclass I've stumbled across...I initially brushed it off, as I considered it (foolishly) inferior to other more magical classes like Wizards or Bards, as you only get basic spells, and moderate spells later. However, I was very wrong...these "basic" spells may be simplistic in the eyes of bookish wizards or stylish bards...but in the hands of a skilled rogue, they are the perfect tools! Why? Because they enhance the Rogue's already exceptional skills..."Misty Step" an enemies flank, then Sneak Attack..."Booming Blade" for free, then "Mobile" feat away to safety..."Levitate" to float above your pursuers when there is no where to hide (Mission Impossible)...make your daring escape off a building rooftop, and "Feather Fall" to safety..."Spider Climb" the enemy fortress..."Find Familiar" for scouting and infiltration..."Shadow Blade" while you Sneak Attack for incredible psychic damage with advantage in darkness..."Blur" to gain defense when things get dangerous...Magical Ambush to "Hold Person" your quarry...enhanced "Mage Hand" for thieving and shenanigans..."Web" for Spiderman..."Fear" for Batman..."Mirror Image" for Naruto-style shadow clones..."Enlarge / Reduce" to reduce the brutish thug into a pipsqueak..."Minor Illusion" a hiding spot to gain sweet advantage... In many ways, these niche and utility spells that you might pass over with other spellcasters in favor of more damaging or spectacular spells are PERFECT for a Rogue, because they are forced to use them to supplement their natural talents...it's like John Wick with a f*cking pencil, ladies and gentlemen...!!
Find Familiar is the best! A pet owl who can use the help action to give advantage on every single attack for free! And it has flyby, so it's immune to opportunity attacks!
The problem with arcane trickster is that you can only learn enchantment and illusion spells until level 8 so a majority of the spells you listed won’t be available until high level .
Or try to lol, i play with my dad and brothers and im a rouge and my dad hates it because im not affected my surprise attacks and since im a halfling i can just hide behind almost anything and get stealth hits
dylan Ramdin I actually play D&D with my buds and I’m a rogue main. It’s unbearable at how easy it is to break every essence of challenge to the point where in my previous campaign the DM gave me a risk-reward god sword so I’d stop stealing everything.
I played as twin assassins. Instead of doing my job, I just put a ton of proficiency into intimidation, appeared out of nowhere and just scared the crap out of the toughest enemies so the team could get the drop on them. It was the dumbest use of rogues, but I loved it.
My Rogue in my family's D&D campaign run by my dad, I am mostly proficient in deception and persuasion, over investigation for traps or locks. Due to my backstory, my Rogue had to get on people's friendly sides to survive. Was the poorest of the poor in the streets of Waterdeep until I had a mentor named Beregond for about 8 years. He taught me how to lie, deceive, steal, use various tools and weapons, etc. He often talked about going to Neverwinter to pull off some great heist, and he talked about it for years. One day, he suddenly disappeared unexpectedly, which in turn, forced me to steal weapons and armor from a goods' caravan and become an adventurer, longing for a better life, for money, luxury, but most of all, to find my mentor, Beregond. I'm a Half-Elf Rogue named Felheim Turandel.
I’ve recently started playing a rogue and I put those +4s on persuasion and deception for narrative reasons, and I have a charisma of 16 so I basically never need to kill anyone, I just sweet talk or lie my way out of any situation, it’s hilarious.
my rogue persuaded the entire town to have a men's only topless grease wrestling competition, while our bard played sound of silence on the flute. We don't tend to get that far on campaign.
In my group that how our rogue was. The bad thing was that he was multi-classing into cleric and so had level 1 cleric and that was all he was trying to be in a level 4 dungeon (kept casting toll of the dead when he only had a wisdom saving throw of 10). Me the celestial warlock that went basically all support ended being the tank while our shadow sorcerer was dps even though we both had an ac of 11 compared to the rogues 15. Also the dungeon had spiders that had a aura of silence rendering me neigh useless while our shadow sorcerer had to blow through his source points to cast silent spell. He was so bad at disengaging running behind use to use is crossbow or cleric spells we had to leave the dungeon and hire an NPC Paladin that we made him pay for by himself. Bc he kept saying "I'm not the tank" and "we where like you have the highest AC and are the only one who can effectively fight in close combat but you insist on using a shitty crossbow and a spell that will only succeed if they roll a nat 1." Sorry for the rant but this guy man can be such a handful sometimes. It was one of the few times we wanted the brokenness of rogues but he wanted to be a level 1 cleric who had no support spells or heals.
I once played a rouge who would just walk up to his opponents and say "Hi I'm going to kill you. Is that ok?" While stabbing them. It got worst when I got mobile
TheMudKip 3490 the highest I've gotten in Stealth was a 44. I'll break it down. Level 10 rogue, maxed Dex, +4 proficiency, expertise, stone of good luck, Pass Without Trace cast by an ally, and a natural 20.
A 'normal' level 20 rogue with 18 dex and expertise in stealth can literally not roll below a 26 in stealth, or 27 if you're a race with a +2 in dex or have some other boost to have 20 dex Oh, and they can hide in the middle of combat as a bonus action and get advantage (which gives them sneak attack with 10d6 I believe) when their target can't see them....
@@charleybrett1663 well, obviously there are more ways, but I'm pretty sure ability scores at level ups specifically state you can't go above 18 with those... If that's not the case, then yes, everyone would be 20 dex at that point of course (:
We have a joke in our group: Due to our rouge being quite new he didn't understand he can just disengage so he would always ask "can I roll to disengage?" Every, Fuckin, Time no matter the situation *Can I roll to disengage my life support*
Please do more more of these for the other classes. I really like the skits you do on this channel. As said before, they are both entertaining and educational
Kind of undersold Reliable Talent, really. Any roll of 9 or lower is treated as a 10 on ANY skill check you add your proficiency in. Rogues already get a ton of proficiencies, and I played a rogue that took the Skilled feat for three more, then cross-classed into fighter with the Scout subclass from the Kits of Old unearthed arcana, which grants another three proficiencies. Long story short, proficiency in 12 of the 18 skills, plus Thieves' Tools, and any roll with any of those is a minimum of 10. I had to apologize to my DM.
I still believe that the Rogue, if you try hard enough and Multiclass enough, can just straight up get Proficiency in every ability check in the game plus Reliable Action.
I was invited to play D&D online , and I have no idea how to play it. I chose halfling rogue. and I keep binge watching every D&D related stuff. so far I like you the best!
Jane Fedora I’m currently in the exact same position. I got invited to a campaign that starts this Saturday and I’ve never played d&d before. So I chose a light foot halfling rogue and have been binge watching videos to learn d&d
you know I was playing for a few campaigns and it's really great! it's usually on sundays. I was so nervous to play but everyone was kind once you get the hang of it it's easy (or, well I did a stupid thing to retrieve my bolts from an acid blubb which melted my hand, thankfully I was healed by someone so I'm good hahaha. a tip for you that they gave me. as a rogue always stay far away , and a lot of a sneak attacks. don't do hand to hand combat because the dice aint kind sometimes. hehehe
Thanks for the advice. I'm happy that I'm not going to be the only new player and a few of my friends will be playing with me. I'll do my best not to stick my hand in acid. We rogues have to learn from each other's mistakes.
exactly! I give you a few mistakes I did. "going in blindly without knowing what's going on." for example you as a player know what's going on, but you forget that your character doesn't know yet , but you act upon thinking you know it...confusing yet? I don't know if I was being stupid or just a beginners mistake, getting into the role is quiet confusing at the start. oh and also you should check up on the halfling stats, it's kinda weak and small , so you should know where you position yourself when in battle because you can't walk much like the others. (I don't know how the rules are in your campaign though) I apologize if I'm telling you things you already know! :D have fun though! I hope you'll like it as much as I did. ps I was assuming you'll be playing online, I don't know the differences with mechanics in real life or online (like roll20 site still learning, I studied more for it then I ever did in school haha)
I play as a rouge and i play with my dad and my two brothers, and when my dad's friend joined he had him be captured by goblins in the cave we were exploring and I was surrounded by goblins and we could see the captured character I shot at the chains and got a nat 20
Actually ran a full Rouge game once. Was very interesting making sure that the players were actually challenged through out the campaign. Basically just through them up against a lot of their counters time and time again and let’s just say their rolls were not the best so they didn’t get to sneak the best.
I love you guys so much! Just subscribed and died laughing at the majority of your videos, but especially this one since I play a Rogue 99.9% of the time. Additionally, thank you for making other informative and amusing videos about D&D etiquette. I can't wait for more of your videos!
Playing a ninja in Pathfinder. Taking a level of Shadowdancer prestige class at level 6, which gives me Hide In Plain Sight, which is Skyrimesque stealth.
Yeet, you've not unleashed your full edge lord potential until you go rogue warlock *drow*... which I currently am for my "main" PC. _/opens linkin park playlist_ In all seriousness, don't be a brooding, edgelordy loner that nobody likes. Those tend to just die because no one cares about helping them out. That's why my rogue cares very much about getting on people's good side
@@apj018 Not going to lie that combo sounds fun! Also super edgy, I mean maybe, maybe your a charming celestial patron swashbuckler who people write stories about and is the chosen and dashing champion of a Solar, I don't know his life.
Spoilers for critical role: Vox Machina I mean, the only reason he died was because he got stunned or something along those lines. Low constitution made it super easy to get literally disintegrated by 2 spells. Otherwise he would've dodged those attacks like nobody's business. Same thing happened when he almost died when he tried to sneak in the room of the Briarwoods
me and a group of friends made a unch of rouges that archityped into assassins and made the Assassins Creed in D&D. best thing ever just a bunch of edgy assassins running around killing stuff.
I almost never subscribe anymore, but this is pure gold. I subbed, hoping there will be a video for each class. This is freaking amazing, and your channel can really grow if you keep this up. PLEASE MAKE MORE FOR EACH CLASS!!!
I just have to say it, i love your videos man, they kept me watching them and laughing hard all the way to a 3 A.M. Please don't ever stop this, you seriously have a talent.
I think you've got something here, if you do more content like this I see the channel growing well. I'd recommend moving the recordings of you guys playing to a second channel, as well. Good luck!
the level 20 rogue actually exists on all of us when we roll a d20, it falls off the table, we roll again and land a 20, thats the lvl 20 rogue popping into our dimension for a second
Im three sessions into playing a rogue with my husband's DnD group and Im still learning how to Rogue AND DnD (they needed a rogue and I needed to get into a group). While everyone there is super helpful, I really need to get myself near their level of combat know-how, and so far your vid is the most fun and useful Ive found to help me.
My word, how do you not have more subscribers? At the very least you earned a new one. Got suggested this by sere luck and loved it! Keep up the great work!
As a minmaxer, I find this class to be op with combination of fighter multiclass. At lvl 4 (2rogue/2fighter, pick charger feat), you can make 3 attacks, which isnt a lot, but still impressive for that lvl.
You can tell they did the captions so like congrats and thanks a lot for taking the time to help with people who are people who can't listen all the time. I am not one of these people but you know I know how much that would suck
rogue1/bard 19(lore of course) with diplomat, silver tongued, everybodies friend, lucky and tavern brawler 101 deception and persuasion roll and you're a bard this should be a funny minor antagonist
Yeah my party’s got a min-maxer that made a rogue once..... at level 7 he had +17 to stealth, making his roll of 15 into a 32. At this point the DM sighed and said “...there’s no cover in sight, but you hide yourself.... and your FLAMING HORSE” And the party just looks at the player who’s got an evil smile on his face and we just all collectively sigh at how op he is😂
@@shadowkat678 yeah, the player was using a bunch of homebrew to get this... so it was basically cheating.... didn't matter tho cause a couple sessions in a beholder TPKed us
@@chaotic-goodartistry3903 The point isn't that he couldn't get the score, though,he absolutely shouldn't have, but to stealth you can't be out in the open, especially on a flaming horse. Stealth isn't the same as invisibility and if you ever have someone like that in,a game try that you totally could bring that up.
@@shadowkat678 Yeah, that would never happen nowadays, this happened in like middle school and remains as that one crazy story that happened cause of crazy (basically cheaters) and a lenient DM.
Haha loved this so much. Another thing, rogues do indeed move between dimension, it's actually possible for a high level rogue to travel from the game world into our real world and attack us.
Honestly this "HOW TO PLAY-" series is absolutely hilarious and informative! Those little skits you do are so funny! I honestly think you could be like a joke writer for comedy shows. :)
Guys, GUYS, GUYS!! If you really want zip-zop-bippity-bop all over the battlefield, couldn't you play a tabaxi rogue and triple dash using an action, bonus action, and racial? 240 ft in a round. What the fuaakkk...
@@FRD357 Still a lot. Make a Tabaxi based off a cheetah. Take a level or two in wizard and get more fun speed boosting spells and make it even speedier.

Arcane Trickster is perhaps the most surprisingly good subclass I've stumbled across...I initially brushed it off, as I considered it (foolishly) inferior to other more magical classes like Wizards or Bards, as you only get basic spells, and moderate spells later.

Because they enhance the Rogue's already exceptional skills..."Misty Step" an enemies flank, then Sneak Attack..."Booming Blade" for free, then "Mobile" feat away to safety..."Levitate" to float above your pursuers when there is no where to hide (Mission Impossible)...make your daring escape off a building rooftop, and "Feather Fall" to safety..."Spider Climb" the enemy fortress..."Find Familiar" for scouting and infiltration..."Shadow Blade" while you Sneak Attack for incredible psychic damage with advantage in darkness..."Blur" to gain defense when things get dangerous...Magical Ambush to "Hold Person" your quarry...enhanced "Mage Hand" for thieving and shenanigans..."Web" for Spiderman..."Fear" for Batman..."Mirror Image" for Naruto-style shadow clones..."Enlarge / Reduce" to reduce the brutish thug into a pipsqueak..."Minor Illusion" a hiding spot to gain sweet advantage...
In many ways, these niche and utility spells that you might pass over with other spellcasters in favor of more damaging or spectacular spells are PERFECT for a Rogue, because they are forced to use them to supplement their natural talents...it's like John Wick with a f*cking pencil, ladies and gentlemen...!!

I love you guys so much! Just subscribed and died laughing at the majority of your videos, but especially this one since I play a Rogue 99.9% of the time. Additionally, thank you for making other informative and amusing videos about D&D etiquette. I can't wait for more of your videos!
Playing a ninja in Pathfinder. Taking a level of Shadowdancer prestige class at level 6, which gives me Hide In Plain Sight, which is Skyrimesque stealth.
None of that made sense to me
How to play rogue:
Step 1: Be Edgy
Step 2: Dont....
Don't you mean Step 2:Can't...
*Spanish Flea plays in the background*
Yeet, you've not unleashed your full edge lord potential until you go rogue warlock *drow*... which I currently am for my "main" PC. _/opens linkin park playlist_
In all seriousness, don't be a brooding, edgelordy loner that nobody likes. Those tend to just die because no one cares about helping them out. That's why my rogue cares very much about getting on people's good side
Yo, it’s me, the emo tiefling rouge
I used to main Reaper Im not edgy at al-who am I kidding....
@@apj018 Not going to lie that combo sounds fun! Also super edgy, I mean maybe, maybe your a charming celestial patron swashbuckler who people write stories about and is the chosen and dashing champion of a Solar, I don't know his life.
“Because Rogues are impossible to kill...”
/cries in vax/
To be fair, he multi-classed into paladin, so that was probably his downfall. :3
Is this a Critical Roll spoiler?
Who is Vax?
Kedabro From Critical Role
Spoilers for critical role: Vox Machina
I mean, the only reason he died was because he got stunned or something along those lines. Low constitution made it super easy to get literally disintegrated by 2 spells. Otherwise he would've dodged those attacks like nobody's business. Same thing happened when he almost died when he tried to sneak in the room of the Briarwoods
This is gold. Perfect balance between humor and good info. As a rogue, I can tell you this is perfectly valid.
me and a group of friends made a unch of rouges that archityped into assassins and made the Assassins Creed in D&D. best thing ever just a bunch of edgy assassins running around killing stuff.
Assassin: *TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP stab* aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Sr Pelo?
I love how eventually rogues just become literal shadows
Literally the best rouge guide ever. please, make more videos like this
It took 6 minutes and 36 seconds for me to fall in love with a channel for life.
This was incredible. I loved every second of it. Please PLEASE make more of these.
As a rogue player, can confirm, this is exactly how it is done
I almost never subscribe anymore, but this is pure gold. I subbed, hoping there will be a video for each class. This is freaking amazing, and your channel can really grow if you keep this up. PLEASE MAKE MORE FOR EACH CLASS!!!
"You maybe like assassin's creed and you want a character that is like ...."
you got me, you got me good, ... damn you
I just have to say it, i love your videos man, they kept me watching them and laughing hard all the way to a 3 A.M.
Please don't ever stop this, you seriously have a talent.
Thanks! :)
I think you've got something here, if you do more content like this I see the channel growing well. I'd recommend moving the recordings of you guys playing to a second channel, as well. Good luck!
This got a couple of laugh out of me and actually helped me remember what rouges do better; you sir have just earned your self a sub.
the level 20 rogue actually exists on all of us when we roll a d20, it falls off the table, we roll again and land a 20, thats the lvl 20 rogue popping into our dimension for a second
I'm starting now in DnD.
And I love your videos.
Tks a lot Cartman!
I’m currently playing d&d for the first time and I’m playing a tiefling rogue who is a rogue purely because of intense social anxiety 😂
This is fucking beautiful, keep up the good work space cowboy
Yop, amazing. This is comedy gold! Could not stop laughing for the entire video. Keep it up!
the amount of dramatic effect in this is great
I swear the scream during assassin was Sr Pelo.
^Man of culture right here
Not loud enough tho, nowhere near maxing the speakers
Pelo is going to shut down this video for copyright.
fucking just made a joey creepy chin face xD
You forgot to mention that arcane tricksters are so good at stealing stuff they can STEAL SPELLS
half-elf rogue with the background charlatan will be the most OP character ever. Especially when you're so lucky you always get good rolls.
The ending is SO Anime 😂 I've watched this video like five times 😹
I once made a rogue who was a flashy theif and mocked people as he robbed him god I miss him
Im three sessions into playing a rogue with my husband's DnD group and Im still learning how to Rogue AND DnD (they needed a rogue and I needed to get into a group). While everyone there is super helpful, I really need to get myself near their level of combat know-how, and so far your vid is the most fun and useful Ive found to help me.
1:50 the neighbors on the balcony like "wtf are they doing?"
My word, how do you not have more subscribers? At the very least you earned a new one. Got suggested this by sere luck and loved it!
Keep up the great work!
*watches video for first time*
"Nice"
*time passes, second time*
"..."
*third time*
"...wait"
*forth*
"He's playing Assassins Creed Rogue"
Jacob's screech when he gets stabbed and him messing with the fire on the stove give me life
As a minmaxer, I find this class to be op with combination of fighter multiclass.
At lvl 4 (2rogue/2fighter, pick charger feat), you can make 3 attacks, which isnt a lot, but still impressive for that lvl.
You wouldn’t get a feat a level 4 if you took levels in a different class
You can tell they did the captions
so like congrats and thanks a lot for taking the time to help with people who are people who can't listen all the time. I am not one of these people but you know I know how much that would suck
So... Rogues are stabby stabby dodgy dodgy... I LOVE IT!
Stop cross classing into wizard ding dong 😂
Yeah, why did he mention that? I feel like that could be really cool if you went into divination. Basically have an insane amount of dice manipulation
Our party had a rouge
What rouge?
...I just realized the footage of assassin's creed is of rogue... You smart bastards...
I thought it was black flag but now that I look at it again I was stupid
Do monk
I can't watch other vids without falling asleep on there vids or getting confused
2:45 OML I'M CRYING
rogue1/bard 19(lore of course)
with diplomat, silver tongued, everybodies friend, lucky and tavern brawler
101 deception and persuasion roll and you're a bard
this should be a funny minor antagonist
I’m a rouge in my first D&D campaign, I’m pretty sure my DM is going too be pissed at all the crazy ideas I have had so far lol
I lost it at "the Dink Dink"
I cant! Haha
jacob struggling up that small incline is my life
Wow I never knew rogues were so powerful in 5th edition. No wonder I’ve seen people discourage it.
DM: you miss
Lv 20 Rogue: Well yes, but actually no.
Yeah my party’s got a min-maxer that made a rogue once..... at level 7 he had +17 to stealth, making his roll of 15 into a 32.
At this point the DM sighed and said “...there’s no cover in sight, but you hide yourself.... and your FLAMING HORSE”
And the party just looks at the player who’s got an evil smile on his face and we just all collectively sigh at how op he is😂
SparrowDraws i mean you cant hide if they are looking at you
That's just a straight up,misunderstanding of the rules.
@@shadowkat678 yeah, the player was using a bunch of homebrew to get this... so it was basically cheating.... didn't matter tho cause a couple sessions in a beholder TPKed us
@@chaotic-goodartistry3903 The point isn't that he couldn't get the score, though,he absolutely shouldn't have, but to stealth you can't be out in the open, especially on a flaming horse. Stealth isn't the same as invisibility and if you ever have someone like that in,a game try that you totally could bring that up.
@@shadowkat678 Yeah, that would never happen nowadays, this happened in like middle school and remains as that one crazy story that happened cause of crazy (basically cheaters) and a lenient DM.
damn this was only 2 years ago? you came a long way. Ive been with this channel since this video came out. It actually helped me get into the game.
I like how he was playing ac rogue at the beginning
That sneaky Dale Gribble quote.
I wonder how long it took you to roll that natural 20 at the start
Haha loved this so much.
Another thing, rogues do indeed move between dimension, it's actually possible for a high level rogue to travel from the game world into our real world and attack us.
Sneak attAAAACK (rolls dice)
Coming back after watching HOW TO PLAY ARTIFICER, and man... this one is still the best!
Rogues? I think you mean
L I V I N G
B R E A T H I N G
G O D S
Years will pass and this will continue to be the best How to Play.
Do bard, that one will be hillarious
The Arcane Trickster Rogue is a good Ninja. Throw in some Ranger levels and you're REALLY scary in combat and out!
This was my spirit video
I feel
Deep with me
Seriously can't wait for this channel to blow up and I can be a huge hipster about it
(Cause your content is fantastic)
Great fucking channel. If I wasn't poorer than dirt I'd tell you guys to set up a patreon.

“That’s what I’m talking about, wow!” 2:45
With this absurd overpoweredness, there's only one thing that canm stop the Rogue...
*_Z A W A R U D O ! ! !_*
Honestly this "HOW TO PLAY-" series is absolutely hilarious and informative! Those little skits you do are so funny! I honestly think you could be like a joke writer for comedy shows. :)
Guys, GUYS, GUYS!! If you really want zip-zop-bippity-bop all over the battlefield, couldn't you play a tabaxi rogue and triple dash using an action, bonus action, and racial?
240 ft in a round.
What the fuaakkk...
Dashing does not double your movement, it adds your speed to your movement, so you'd get
(30(movement)+30(dash1)+30(dash2))*2 = 180
@@FRD357 Still a lot. Make a Tabaxi based off a cheetah. Take a level or two in wizard and get more fun speed boosting spells and make it even speedier.
I feel like i understand my rogue a lot better now, thank u.
