It Seems That Neutral Parties Could Use More Warriors...

You might also count Kivan and Minsc as "support Rogues" since they have Stealth. Also Rasaad, since he can do both Stealth and Find Traps (although not Disarm).

I think you mean "roles" not "rolls". I expected this thread to be about ability scores.

If i remember right, he is one of the characters in the training party in Candlekeep. Same with Mordaine, etc.

I think that I fixed the title now yes?

Yes, although for me a rogue is not a rogue if it cannot steal items.

Well, yes, I see your point.

On the other hand, you've categorised Kivan and Minsc as "support Priests" even though they get no further (in BG1) than a level 1 spell at the end of the game, so they're only Priests in a very feeble way, and you've even categorised Ajantis as a "support Priest" even though he never quite gets to a level to have any spells in BG1. I reckon having quite good Stealth gives Kivan and Minsc more Rogue-like ability than their feeble Priest-like ability.

But sure, it's a matter of personal interpretation, and it's your table.

Yeah, stealth users almost made it into being a support rogue but then I thought about invisibility spells, knock and the like so I based it on stealing items innately. Also I found that the priest role to be if they can heal others or not. Rasaad can only self heal without the use of rare mostly non-existent priest scrolls and then only a few times in the entire game so I based it upon innate abilities at level cap.

I hope that you like the "rolls" to "roles" update ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
