Specialists in maneuvering and manipulation, Rogues have an easy time learning many skills, such as stalk and hide, pick locks, detect and disarm traps, climbing, perception, searching and ambushing. With all of these skills, Rogues make excellent scouts, lookouts and hunters. They are fairly adept with weapons and heavier armor, second only to warriors. They may also learn how to use spells and magical devices more easily than warriors. In most societies within GemStone IV, the Rogue is as honorable a profession as any other.

Elite rogues of 15th level or higher may join the Rogue Guild.
