[QUOTE="jaer, post: 4071747, member: 57861"] Just something else about what weapons are useful: multi-classing. The rogue gets sneak attack at first level for +2d6 damage, which means a fifth level ranger might be able to take 1 level of rogue and be able to sneak attack. So a rogue 6 does the same sneak attack as a ranger 5/rogue 1, but the ranger can use better weapons for it. The same for the fighter. A fighter takes 1 level of rogue and can sneak attack as well as a rogue with better weapons. Being that there is no longer a difference between rogue levels in sneak attack damage, that there should be a restriction on what weapons can be used to keep every class from grabbing one level in rogue for the sneak attacks. Also, note the sneak attack damage section: As you advance in level, your extra damage increases. Level Sneak Attack Damage 1st–10th +2d6 11th–20th +3d6 21st–30th +5d6 It doesn't say "as you advance in rogue levels" or in any other way say that these levels correspond to rogue levels. I could be reading way too much into what isn't said...but it could be that even a ranger 21/rogue 1 might have a +5d6, and therefore the weapon restrictions are necessary or else sneak attack just becomes too good for people to not take it.
