Type of feat: class (given based on class levels)
Prerequisite: blackguard 4
Specifics: Whenever the character makes a successful attack against an opponent who is flat-footed, cannot see them, or who is in combat with someone else, the character's blow delivers extra damage. This extra damage is +1d6 at fourth level and an additional +1d6 every three levels thereafter. This extra damage is not multiplied in the case of a critical hit.
Use: automatic. Monsters of the construct and undead types are immune to sneak attacks, as are any creatures that are immune to critical hits.
Notes[]
- Added in the expansion packs.
- Sneak attacks can be made with ranged weapons if within 30 feet of the target.
- The damage bonus from this feat stacks with that from the rogue's sneak attack and assassin's death attack.
- As of Enhanced Edition patch 1.74, Uncanny Dodge II provides immunity to flanking sneak attacks under certain class level checks between the attacker and defender. See the Uncanny Dodge article for more information.
