[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 6593656, member: 184"] There have been some good answers to the OPs question, so it's funny anecdote time! The rogue in the party is hasted and gets a second attack. Meanwhile, he also grappled and restrained by a roper (as are the other two members of the party). This combination of factors means: a) he gets two attacks b) he has disadvantage from being restrained c) he can sneak attack, thanks to the other party members also being grappled next to the roper Also, the player is new to the game, and gaming in general. So he attacks the roper (and it's AC 20) with disadvantage and manages to hit. He then announces, "I only get sneak attack once a turn, so I'll save it for the next attack." Both me and one of the other players looks at each other in surprise and then explain to him that he should use it now, because there's a good chance he'll miss with the next attack. "The only way it would benefit you is if you crit with the next attack...which is really unlikely because you have disadvantage." And guess how the story ends? Second attack, double 20s. And that was just one of the crazy things from that fight. Will be a memorable one, I think. [/QUOTE]
