- Giving swordsages the Sneak Attack of a Rogue on a round in which they don't activate any maneuvers.
Thoughts? --Ghostwheel 01:48, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- In fact, what about giving all medium-BAB classes that don't already have sneak attack the sneak attack of a rogue on rounds in which they don't activate any class abilities? --Ghostwheel 20:20, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, wow. Sneak attacking clerics of pelor.--ThirdEmperor 21:50, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- That would badly hurt the rogue, and make sneak attack boring. The swordsage, okay. Every mid bab class? No it would unbalance the game throughly, some mid bab class are fcking kickass already. As I said earlier, it would really kick originality in the balls. --Leziad 22:35, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- Why would it hurt the rogue badly? Isn't the rogue more than its sneak attack? What about its other abilities? If the only reason people take rogue is for the sneak attack... :-/
- The point isn't to make wizard-level classes (cleric, druid, etc) even more powerful--and I don't think adding 5d6 to damage if they achieve flanking at level 10 is going to do so, especially since they don't usually invest in the twf-tree, can already get it (UMD + Hunter's Eye spell), etc. The point is to give medium-BAB classes who don't have much strength in combat (lurk, divine mind, etc) a semi-viable option that could be half-way decent even if all they did was get into a good position and full attacked. How would it unbalance the game? --Ghostwheel 23:30, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
