I'm definitely saying the most famous thieves from fantasy and legend are never rogues.

Literally bilbo baggins you goddamn casual

Every time I talk about this someone brings up Bilbo. He was a thief by employment, but he's not a rogue or a thief by D&D standards, which is exactly my point. His entire story was about not being a thief but figuring it out as he was going. Conan was called a thief, but he's not a rogue either. All the best thiefs aren't rogues.

No True Roguesman type slander

The only rogue-esque quality Bilbo has is a species ability.

The DM gave him an OP magic item to compensate for his crappy build

Bilbo is proof that anyone can fill a rogue's role (provided an obscenely powerful artifact falls into their lap).

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

And anyone can fill a cleric's role with enough potions and necromancy but that doesn't make wizards clerics

Y'all just classists tbh
