[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 126350, member: 1451"] These are specific circumstances. These ARE rules here. Check the concealment chart in the PHB or SRD. Early in the morning there is often times a light fog. By the rules, this would prevent sneak attacks. Light foilage does the same thing. Any amount of darkness (moderate and above, open to interpretation by the DM) does the same thing. Those with lowlight (and a light source) or darkvision don't have to worry about this problem. However, the fog and foilage IS a problem. How can the DM be wrong for using these rules? Granted, any DM who uses these all the time just to screw the rogue is not being fair. This is why being a halfling rogue kinda sucks until you save up for the goggles of night or belt of dwarvenkind. Depending on the DM, you may want to take a level of wizard or sorceror to get True Strike to bypass this. With this spell, you can still sneak attack someone with concealment since it ignores any concealment. [/QUOTE]
