Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lonely Tylenol" data-source="post: 2036071" data-attributes="member: 18549">...waiting for the inevitable "But Savage Species isn't 3.5 so it doesn't count" argument.Allow me to throw in my hat for the "the rogue attacks while material, so any inability to see when ethereal doesn't affect his sneak attacking" crowd.  You wait until you're material, take a swing, and maybe disappear before it connects.  As to why the rogue gets sneak attacks every round, try getting a friend and jumping around together in a dark room that has a strobe light set up to an interval of about one second.  See how hard it is to track where your friend is?  Now, imagine if you were fighting your friend instead of just jumping around.  That would be pretty tricky, right?  Now, imagine if your friend had darkvision, and could see just fine whether the strobe was on or off, but could only hit you when the strobe was on.  No matter where you think he is when the light goes off, he'll always have the opportunity to lunge or dodge into a new position to surprise you before the light comes back on.  But maybe he's not quick or lucky enough to catch you before the light goes off again, for whatever reason.  Maybe he tried to go for your neck and had to reach around your arm to do it, which took just a bit too much time...Anyway, since WotC specifically spells out that Blink allows sneak attacks every attack, I don't suppose there's anything left to say.</blockquote>
