Great post^
If straying away alittle from EQ, I would argue the point of morale also, where the "best" rogues would often be of an evil alignment, allowing them to be more unrestraint in their actions(such as stealing and stabbing people in the back). The adventures of Bilbo was more or less placed upon him via his friendship to Gandalf, who infact introduced him as a burglar to the dwarves. The role of Rog being appointed to him. (because he is small)
Halfings being nonadventurous and goodhearted are perhaps not suited to be cold blooded rogues.
