These female warriors are competent with a sword and can hold their own using magic, but their true mastery comes with a bow in their hands. Rogues have the fastest firing rate, best arrow accuracy, and enjoy a hidden to/hit bonus with arrows that makes their archery unmatchable by other classes. Their main statistic is dexterity, of which they an amass a tremendous amount, giving them very high inherent damage and to/hit.
