[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7382648, member: 58197"] I said no such thing, nor did I intend it. Well, I agree that the "once per turn loophole" should go. The "once per turn" thing is highly unintuitive and I don't like mechanics that encourage people to perform uninituitive rules maneuvers. Your approach will certainly work; though I would prefer tying Sneak Attack to the Attack action, which would remove the need to track your Sneak Attack usage across the round. A bit of extra verbiage would be needed for dual wielding rogues, of course (unless you feel like merging the off-hand attack into the regular Attack action, which I think they should have done in the first place, but that's a lot bigger than just tweaking the rogue). Damage output-wise, I don't agree that the rogue needs more. I think Sneak Attack once per round (plus the occasional OA) is the intent of the rogue design, and I think they work fine that way. The "once per turn" thing was put in because "once per round" isn't a thing 5E does. But if you want them to deal more Sneak Attack damage, then giving them more Sneak Attack dice is the logical way to go about it. [/QUOTE]
