Assassinate is now bad, really bad.
at 3rd level you get +3 damage on one attack, in 1st round of combat, only on targets with worse initiative.
I know that instacrit was ok with only rogue class, but got broken with abomination multiclassing Assassin3/battlemaster11/gloomstalker3/paladin2 + 1 level to gain a feat.
But, instacrit was a nice touch.
So, how about: in 1st round of combat attack that carries sneak attack is a critical hit if you hit with attack. If that attack is also a critical hit, add rogue level to total damage.
it keeps the critical hit(sniper shot) quality, but power is gated behind rogue levels. As it should be.
