He lost it in the second edition when the ranger could do it too. But a single powerful attack is required to do the scenari I talked about. You need to do massive damage with only one attack and not a serie of attacks. A guard is not necessarily a human with 11 hp. It can be an orog (45hp) an ogre (59hp) or even a cambion (82hp). You need to deal that much damage with a single attack to stay in stealth, otherwise, the alarm will be on (unless you have a silence spell cast as a bonus action from some source or whatever...)Yes your eldritch knight (my personal favourite) can skulk around in a very effective way. So can the wizard, the warlock, the paladin in short, every class can do it now if you put the right background and your mind to it. But you absolutely need the sneak attack feature to deal enough damage on a target to remain stealthy.</blockquote>
