He doesnt get sneak attack when there are two or more enemies fighting him and him alone. If there are two (or more) enemies within 5 feet of you, you don't get sneak attack (unless you also have an ally nearby, and you target the same creature your ally is fighting).He either needs to be mano-a-mano, or double teaming a critter with an ally (as usual). If he's not in one on one combat, or fighting with an ally, he doesnt get sneak attack.So there is still some targeting and thought required. I find that our party swashbuckler gets sneak attack the 'standard' way most Rogues use around 95 percent of the time (he just double teams whatever the Barbarian is fighting).Occasioanlly he'll peel off to 'one on one' a solo creature. If he gets outnumbered, then he'll cunning action withdraw to the Barbarian.Huh? How are you coming to this conclusion? Rogues get sneak attack every round as is (its trivially easy to get; you just target a critter that your ally is already attacking, or use cunning action to hide), and Rogue damage in no way is 'numerically OP' compared to a Fighter or Paladin.</blockquote>
