Rogue Deadly Shadow (Alternate Capstone)

[Razcar]

So, "Deadly Shadow", eh? No breaking of stealth on attacking/manipulating objects? Hiding In Plain Sight? Extra SA dice when attacking from stealth?

What could it be? We will find out eventually, but wild speculation, based on close to nothing, is what makes the Internet tick after all (along with something else we won't mention here).

I'd really like to see the ability to bypass fortification to some degree. I'd rather see that available long before a capstone, but I'd rather see it as a capstone than not see it at all.

Yeah. Would be cool with an Enhancement line like that, like -10, 15, 20, 25% Fort, working on all mobs.

Exactly, that would be amazing.

I'd prefer something more along the lines of:

You are now permanently stealthed, nothing breaks stealth, and you move at normal speed while stealthed.

OP if it is any of the things listed I would say it is pretty lame

So here goes my idea:

Rogue Deadly Shadow:
Cost: 2 AP
Prereqs: 20th Level Rogue

Benefit: Your sneak attack damage increases by +2d6. Additionally, you gain a +2 bonus to move silently, hide in shadows, and your movement speed while sneaking is increased by 10%. If you attack an opponent that does not know you are there (from stealth) you gain an additional +4d6 sneak attack damage.

Note: My idea is my own. If I were to guess the actual capstone coming out based upon the developers previous choices here is my guess.

Guess:

Stuff
Benefit: You are one with the shadows. You gain +2 to move silently, hide, and a 10% increase to your movement speed while sneaking. You gain +1d6 sneak attack damage while attacking from stealth and have a 5% to instantly kill any monster attacked from stealth (fortification protects againt this special attack).

Hey, it's the rogue capstone, can't say my expectations are very high

So here goes my idea:

Nice ideas. If they are in line with what will come out I suppose there will be lots of sales of Lesser Hearts +1

The other capstone is actually getting a nice if not super powerful boost with +2 dex. I still think the odds are rather high that it will still be a losing proposition to be pure rogue.

I'm waiting eagerly to hear. I'm in the process of TRing my Rogue and was planning to go 19/1...and I am almost to the point I was going to take the non rogue level. The other capstone is now intersting, but I'm still not sure if its worth it. I'm looking forward to this one to see what it offers. Hmm...guess that will hold off my levelling for a bit

I dont.

How else are they going to sell all those LRs.

Capstone sucks - leave it for a while, most high level rogues cap out and have at least one level in something else. Break out the new raw dawg super awesome must have capstone. It will be interesting to know how many +1 and +3 LRs are bought in the first 2 weeks after this drops.

Oh god I hope not. The last thing we need is a real excuse for rogues to constantly sneak around and hold up everything!!

[Borror0]

I'd bet it's +3d6 or +4d6 sneak attack damage with a random bonus to bluff, or something equally unimaginative.

Watch the capstone be something like: You are a very imaginative rogue. Borror0 was wrong. Just to spite you
