This class is very similar to the Rogue, but focuses somewhat less on combat and more on knowledge.
The Rogue-Scholar does not have the Rogue special abilites of Evasion, Uncanny Dodge, nor Sneak Attack, and cannot choose Crippling Strike, Defensive Roll, Improved Evasion, or Opportunist as special high-level abilities.
However, for the Rogue-Scholar, Speak Language and all Knowledge skills are class skills, and they gain the special ability of Bardic Knowledge, in the same manner as a Bard. Also, their somewhat greater focus on things of the mind grants them Will saves as a Bard of their level, rather than as a Rogue.
In all other respects, the Rogue-Scholar is identical to the Rogue.
