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