I'd argue you could map Bilbo into a multiclass rogue and bard to get spells like Vicious Mockery. Bilbo's main actions in "combat" include stealth checks, sneak attacks with Sting, stealing items, and using bardic spells to manipulate the situation for his benefit.

Do all hobbits have to be a little rogue? Because in Tolkien's stories hobbits being stealthy isn't a skill it's a species ability.

Kinda like how in early versions of D&D elf and dwarf were classes.

So you think all hobbits have to be lvl 1 rogues?

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 2 points 2 days ago

Not at all, merely sharing a parallel I just realized/remembered.

Sorry, new here. Still having trouble keeping track of who said what, and who I'm quarreling with.

No problem! I've been here almost 2 years and I still get confused from time to time.
