Editing Sneak attack

{{feat

|type=class

|prereq=[[rogue]]

|desc=Whenever the character makes a successful attack against an opponent who is [[flat-foot]]ed, cannot see them, or who is in combat with someone else, the character's blow delivers extra damage. This extra damage is +1[[d6]] at first level and an additional +1d6 every two [[class level|level]]s 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==

*Sneak attacks can be made with ranged weapons if within 30 feet of the target.

* Since all attacks in a [[flurry]] are essentially resolved simultaneously, either all attacks in a flurry are sneak attacks or none are. (This can, for example, make getting four attacks per round — hence two in the first flurry — a priority for some players.)

*The damage bonus from this feat [[stack]]s with that from the [[sneak attack, blackguard|blackguard's sneak attack]] and [[assassin]]'s [[death attack]].

* To set up sneak attacks without being hidden, a rogue will sometimes [[entangle]], [[stunned|stun]], [[paralyze]], or [[prone|knock down]] an opponent first. Operating in [[darkness]] is another tactic, often achieved by utilizing the [[use magic device]] skill to cast [[darkness (spell)|darkness]] (and [[ultravision]]) from a [[scroll]].

*Sneak attacks are a way to get over the [[damage reduction]] or [[damage resistance]] of strong targets (by applying bonus damage in excess of what gets reduced or resisted).

* Undead and constructs are not intrinsically immune to sneak attacks. Instead, they are typically given that immunity via their [[skin item]], possibly in the form of immunity to critical hits. (For example, the [[wraith spider]] is an undead creature that is susceptible to sneak attacks.)

* 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.
