Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 5964723" data-attributes="member: 22424">I'll go much further than this: classes should not be dependent on getting Advantage to work.If the Rogue needs Advantage to Sneak Attack, and also needs Sneak Attack to be a viable option in combat, then the Rogue is a one-trick pony and needs to be redesigned.(My suggested solution: give the Rogue several different (non-stacking) high-damage attack options, each of which has different circumstances required for use, and each of which is more or less damaging depending on the circumstance/opposition. That way, clever play for the Rogue becomes more than just "how do I arrange to be flanking", and it also means that some monsters can be immune to some of the Rogue's attack options without reducing the Rogue to being a spectator in 40% of fights (as in 3e).)</blockquote>
