What drives a poor reputation for the Rogue class?

Yes, at 9 and 13 they need something else on top of those things. That does not mean the features they do get are bad.

OK. What do you think of my suggestion that at level 9 the Assassin gets to cast nondetection (3rd level) once per long rest. (Totem Barbarian, another martial, gets to cast Commune with Nature (5th) as a ritual).

Adding to "all rogues had UMD back then," the big thing 3.5 had that 5e definitely doesn't is WBL,

For which I am grateful.
