Compared to a fighter their BAB, amount of feats and hit points are lower, which means that they do not hit nearly as often nor can they stay as long in a fight. To sneak attack they also have to be in a pretty situation and it does not work against all types of opponents. Granted, I have never run a high level campaign yet (as in level 12+), but rogues have never been better in a fight then the fighting classes. Monte Cook once said that even if the rogue could sneak attack on ALL attacks the power would still be balanced by pure statistical analysis.Side note - you might have been mixing the rule that sneak attack does require some precision and as such it does not work more then once on special multiple attacks within one attack such a shurikens, minor orb spells or many-shot.</blockquote>
