Well, you could still do that in 4E, AFAIK. Fighter extra-damage powers should be able to substitute adequately for sneak attack. You might not technically be able to reproduce the "stab in the back" aspect, but if your concept is flexible enough, then the basic mechanic of rolling a huge bunch of damage dice still comes through.Nifft said:There was a Dwarf Rogue/Fighter who did indeed use a warhammer in one of my games. Dirty Sven, if I recall correctly. He was amusing.
I've always kinda liked the idea of a clanky, metal-armored, non-Acrobatic Rogue who's more of a locksmith / trapsmith than a sneak, and who acts more like a Fighter in melee (except when he stabs you in the back with a hammer).
