Except you don't need to be sneaking any more. The target just needs to be distracted by having that barbarian trying to chop their head off. The rogue waits for their moment and goes for the cheap shot because they're sneaky SOB's.
So sneaky attacking, rather than sneaking and attacking? Perhaps attacking sneakily...
Well "Cheap shot when your enemy isn't paying enough attention" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Yes, but shouting cheap shot, sucker! at the table has a whole mess of cache, so sometimes it's all about the editing.Well "Cheap shot when your enemy isn't paying enough attention" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
I think I have my next PC. The halfling rogue "CHEAP SHOT!" Yes, in all caps.
Love it. You had me at halfling rogue....

You had me at "cheap."
Well now, "cheap halfling rogue" does conjure up a whole bunch of different images, dunnit? Where's Bilbo? Oh, you know him, two brandies in and he's dragged one of the Half Orc serving wenches upstairs...You had me at "cheap."

Well, I don't know about Bilbo, but I agree with Sam that Rosie Cotton was quite a looker.
