Rogue

Rogues and their magical counterparts, rogue mages, are a type of hostile human fighter encountered by the party in Betrayal at Krondor. They are frequent antagonists in Chapters 1-6.

Overview

Rogues are often hired mercenaries or bounty hunters, and may have a number of motives for attacking the party. Occasionally, the party will encounter groups of rogues who are worshipers of Guiswa. Rogues also serve as temporarily impassable groups of guards in various places, such as the Prelate's house or the bridge between Romney and Prank's Stone, and will continue to attack the party indefinitely until a way is found to placate them.

A group of "acolytes" outside the Temple of Banath, who unsuccessfully attempt to rob the party each time they are encountered, appear as Rogues, making it impossible to encamp near the temple.

In Battle

Rogues usually carry low to medium-level equipment.

Rogue mages can be distinguished due to wearing yellow trousers instead of white ones. Both rogues and rogue mages are immune to Evil Seek^[1] and none can cast Mindmelt.^[2]

Trivia

• An anomalous rogue mage met on the road between Northwarden and Raglam does not know any spells.^[3]
• A Rogue encountered near the cornfield north of Buck Rausch's house is revealed as a cultist of Ruthia, who, though appearing and fighting as a standard Rogue, is described as an unmistakably feminine figure.
