Roguery companion uses and leveling?

[Nikomakkos]

Anyone know possible uses for Roguery skill on companions other than the "Party Member" perks? Like missions (quests) that require or benefit from the skill or something like that?

Also, does anyone know how to train the skill on companions?

I think there's a quest called something like 'a spy party', given by nobles, that you can send your rogue to do.

As of now to train companions, we need to either give them equipment that corresponds to the skills/give them a role in the clan to use certain skills.
I think that the role system is great but companion skills and perks should still affect the group they are in. Maybe the one given the role should give a full boost while others do partial?

I dont think their roguery increases if they are in your party. They need to lead party and go raiding (or be part of an army that is raiding).

It's already like that with the "Party Member" perks. If it's working correctly that is.

That's interesting. There should be other, more ready ways to train the skill besides that way.

If you create a separate party with a companion, they will patrol around the area killing bandits and looters, and ransoming prisoners. Ransoming makes their roguery go up pretty fast. This is the only way I know of to train a companion in the actual skill itself.
