Also, don't forget that Thay is an RP server. Everyone's thinking about rogues for their lockpicking or their hiding...

My cleric/rogue took rogue levels mostly for the bluff skill points... and he wears banded mail and has absolutley 0 skills in hide or move silently. Rogue lets him bluff, and lets him sneak attack, and gives some extremely basic lockpicking and trap cracking skills (not much use after 5th level).

No one seems to ever think of usefulness of the class for con men... and with some charisma, UMD comes rather easy...
