Let's not forget that rolling two attacks per round also doubles your chance of getting a crit, though admittedly, a crit on a non-sneak-attack isn't as impressive, the possibility of critting with the second attack after missing with the first attack also confirms that the TWF rogue will get more sneak attack crits, further increasing the DPR distance.Which, in fairness, are legitimate options -- using Cunning Action to Dash (after hitting with the attack that prevents the enemy from taking an attack of opportunity) is a good way to increase the swashbuckler's defense in most encounters. An unconscious or dead character's DPR is zero, after all. Still, your point is well-taken.--Pauper</blockquote>
