Ninjoma's Rogue QOL Buffs adds new abilities and mechanics to Rogues in an unstated game, aiming to reduce one-dimensional gameplay. With 98 endorsements and 4,700 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life mod for Rogue players seeking more variety.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent traction with 98 endorsements and 4,700 downloads, showing community interest.
- Directly addresses a common complaint about Rogues being one-dimensional.
- Lightweight QOL addition that doesn't overhaul the class, keeping it simple.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is thin—no details on what abilities or mechanics are added, so you're going in blind.
- Last updated over a year ago (Feb 2026), so may not be compatible with recent game patches.
For Rogue players who feel the class is too repetitive and want a bit more depth without a full overhaul. Skip if you're happy with vanilla Rogue or want a comprehensive class rework.

- Check the mod's comments or forum posts for player feedback on which abilities are worth using.
- Since the mod is from 2026, verify your game version matches the mod's last update to avoid issues.
- If you're new to modding, use a mod manager to install and easily disable if needed.
