Ampersand: Sneak Attack

[MaelStorm]

EDIT: The game is still the same. But a lot of items (exotic and magic) were hidden in the DMG. Now it's not anymore. It's in the PHB.

"Nerd Rage" should so be a wizard power in 4E.

I am VERY pleased the designers placed limitations on the weapons the rogue gets to sneak attack with. An attack that is supposed to be about striking with surgical precision should have to be done with a weapon that HAS surgical precision. My only disappointment is that they will allow slings to deal sneak, but at least there will be no more "sneak attacking with a great axe" B.S.

Sneak attacking with a greataxe may be OTT, but sneak attacking with a long sword shouldn't be....

What about a ballista?

Sneak attacking a ballista with a long sword shouldn't be OTT, no.

Anybody else notice there isn't a range limitation on Sneak Attack?

That is awesome. It means I won't have to resort to hacks like this anymore.
