Rogues just need an ally pestering your target and you only have disengage action to get out without attacks of opportunity.   Just had a DM include both those things - I said I didn't think they are in there, but left it at that otherwise it holds up things. AND I might be wrong? Is there flanking or five foot steps and I've missed it?
