Barbarians should be evil but are somehow good. The best class combo for them is rogue for uber STR but it makes no sense flavor wise for a big ass dude to be deft of hands.

EQ rogues are often treated in-game as brigands and roughnecks. Barbarians fit with that interpretation of the class well enough. Regardless of how the official out-of-game game lore treats them, in-game I regard barbarians more as neutral than good. Rogues aren't saints, a lot of their warriors follow Rallos, and even the Tribunal is portrayed as motivated by vengeance as much as by justice.

For my part I don't particularly trust gnomes. For whatever reason they seem to attract a much higher proportion of annoying twits playing them than other races seem to.

Rogue is a pretty broad class. Certainly it can be the varmints you mention above, as well as traders or scouts.

I think the Tribunal Rogue can also cover the righteous assassin - once the Church of Justice makes a judgement on an individual they could petition assistance from one of the White Rose masters to deliver a Patsie's Magic Throwing Boulder from behind a Burly Gnoll.

Yeah rogues in everquest are not theives at all, they at best are street rats that pick pockets and break locks to steel food because they cannot excel at any other job in the game except relying on someone to invite them to hunt for treasure.

Definitely had more issues with players playing gnomes over the years. I don't know if its subtle roleplay or something.
