Hello everybody,
I don't know but I hope they will change the gameplay concerning rogues. Now I play with a ninja shuri (perhaps the best kit I've ever tried) and of course I've installed the rogue rebalancing mod and I hope that these changes would be apply in BG EE. With this mod they can compete with a fighter that I used to play before but change is good ^^
Actually, there is a lot a things that I would like to see in this new edition especially bring this game closer to the Pen & Paper AD&D counterparts.

    Have you ever played a swashbuckler? With the bonus THAC0 and AC every 5 levels, they eventually outpace a fighter (both wearing the best armor/weapon available). The only thing they lack is a backstab and the HP that a fighter has...

    i take it it's a custom mod? was it an official PnP kit?

    A custom mod, because as you said the lack of backstab is important for the swashbuckler but with rogue rebalancing, this kit uses the fighter's thaco progression table. I'll probably take a thief that I'll specialize with this kit with the enhanced edition. So for an official p&p kit, I agree with you, the swashbuckler is amazing ^^
