Was just curious what deity is a good one for a rogue? I played PnP a few times loved it but didn't play after that so i have no clue what god to choose. Any help would be cool
It really depends on what kind of character your rogue will be? What alignment will he/she be?
For stereotypical rogue/assassin types you could either Cyric, the Prince of Lies, or perhaps Kelemvor, the Faerun God of the Dead.
However I could also see rogues under other die ties, even perhaps Ohgma. Maybe your rogue's background involves more of a martial artist or an operative to some religiou s order? Really most die ties work when you put enough thought into it.
I wonder if we can write in something else. Some others have had it. Alot of the 4e lore has followers to dead gods who either believe their god will resurrect, reincarnate or just come out of hiding. People don't like to admit that their patron god is capable of death.

There's nothing to admit. Our lord Mask isn't dead. When the First of Five returns to us, our lord shall be reborn unto him. To believe that our lord simply sent a woman and baby, even the First's, into the future for safeties sake borders on idiocy. No, our lord still lives. If even in stasis, he yet lives. We need do nothing but wait and listen for his calling...
First off, no evil dieties are available as choices, so not even Shar is there. Mask is listed as dead in 4E FR. Out of the ones available .. Selune for good rogues? Kelemvor is the god of the dead and doesn't support a 'death' aspect, so unless you are going to be an undead hunting rogue, I don't think he would really match you.
Not even Tymora (goddess of luck) is available (not dead, just not a choice at character creation). Out of the ones they gave us, there really is no clear cut choice for rogues.

Mask is as dead as Bane...ohhhh I see where you are going here

Mask being "dead" is complicated to discuss without tons of spoilers. But my opinion is he isn't dead at least his essence isn't and his title/profile will be picked up by a new Mask in "The Sundering".
Well, for you skill-less -adepts-scum, Im sure Tymora will accept you just as well....

Personally I was hoping for Tymora to be avialible but since that doesn't seem to be an option I'll probably go with Selune.

I am disappointed that I can't choose Waukeen. I spent $200 on this game, and I have a mercenary attitude towards work in real life. FOR THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!!
Why do people automatically associate Rogues with evil, lies and darkness? Which deities would suit a neutral or good Rogue?
Tymora is the first that comes to mind for the thrill-seeking rogues. And I recall Elves and Halflings have their own deity for mischief or something like that.

They do. Maybe. 4th edition killed a LOT of the gods. But Tymora is perfect since she's basically Avandra who's basically the goddess of Adventurers.
I was hoping Avandra was on the list, since Lathander isn't around anymore I know the guy became the new sun god, but that guy is Lawful Good, and that just ain't me.

Tymora is basically Avandra. Then again maybe she should just evolve into Avandra like a Pokemon.
From what I saw on the list there was only like 11 deities to choose from. Mask wasn't on the list =/
Mask is technically dead, gave up his powers, last I heard anyway. Perhaps there's been another lore change, but last I heard Mask is dead.
I'm choosing Oghma, basically a Thief who deeply desires/values knowledge and information. Hey if he has to steal to get it, so be it!

As a lover of beauty, my rogue desires to have those things of beauty and may on occasion take them to please the great Sune Firehair. I would prefer rubies to match her perfect hair and lips and emeralds as beautiful as her eyes.

I'm gonna go with Selune. Since I'll be playing a MenzoGade, and Tymora isn't avialible or Waukeen.

I prefer to think that Shar is misunderstood, not evil
I pretty much felt that Selune was the closest thing to a Rogue God... Though I've never played a religious Rogue before, I felt the praying every hour was out of place for my character...

For a list of them all, I'd check out the Forgotten Realms wiki:
http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Deities
Hope this helps!

there are many to choose from - halfling rogue deity, dwarveb rogue deity, elven rogue deity, etc.
Unfortunately in Fourth Edition Forgotten Realms Mask has died. (At least supposedly.)
For a rogue I would definitely add Shar to the list of possible deities.
