+1 this.
This is now difficult whether or not that 20 roll was valid.
@SionnieI will suggest that you stop assuming what Rogues are capable to do and check how a rogue is normally played in D&D. You should also learn the basics of combat in tabletop D&D.
I apologize, I told you I was a newb that has only read the books.. As Gm I kind of expected you to teach me.. Let me explain, then tell me how I achieve my desired results in table top. Once I understand I will not be so ticked..
For instance I did not want to use a bow before and yet you forced me too and I let that go. You could have easily replaced the bow with a dart or throwing dagger but you forced a proficiency I did not want. still I let that go before..
Now I was unsure whether my evasion was something I had to roll for but in the books it was a major part of combat for rogues, rangers, bards, and agile fighters.. so if I can just automatically dodge that makes things easier.
As for understanding rogue combat I only know how I have played them in mmo's my favorite being Neverwinter. In never winter my rogue focused on critical hits and power stats that made her quiet the glass canon and I had a powerful life steal a stat to keep me alive and drain the mobs dry.. I want to be able to get behind something and stun it, cripple it, bleed it, or kill it the way I have played them in every other game. I though with a 19 I would have enough power to kill him with my backstab and so a gave it a little flavor. If you will learn what it is I want instead of forcing choices on me and show me how to get there, you will find I will cooperate much easier sir. I don't intend to make your job harder, but I think I should get a choice and not have it made for me. I really like the Neverwinter rogue, and they say it was based of 5e in table top so that is what I want. And I really did role a 20, my sister can verify it, saffira is my sister, that is why she gets a little in my case. sorry.
