D&D 5E Battle Master Fighter+Rogue

[Zardnaar]

Has anyone else seen this combo in action? On of my players has a Mastermind Rogue and the other a dex based BM Fighter.

Level 8 PCs
Seems nasty anyway. 1d8+8 damage vs 1d4+1d8 4d6+ 7 (+2 dagger) for the price of a superiority dice and a reaction.

I have know about this since 2014, a bit different seeing it in action though.

Had a battlemaster in our group that was always giving the rogue another attack, she was pretty deadly with her bow. Only seen in levels 3-5, but at those levels she was cutting down the enemy.

The Rogue was using the bow?

We had Rogues who used to use bows a lot, now they get into melee as they deal a lot more damage.

She'll switch to melee if she has to, but prefers to stay away from the enemy and let others stand in the front lines.

My Battlemaster/Assassin is awesome. Two attacks, four with action surge, sneak attack, sharpshooter, superiority dice and crits on surprise. Can't complain.

Get the rogue to dip fighter.

He stabs someone as his action. Then action surges (using the ready action) with an action to stab again once someone else completes their turn as its trigger.

Clever, we had orher uses for a fighter dip for dual wielding and going brutal rogue (stength based)

Personally I only allow sneak attack 'Once per turn, on your turn'.

Well its RAI you can sneak attack due to things like battle master and dissonent whispers.
