[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2429422, member: 4134"] But it's worth far more than one feat, IMO, and the trade-off doesn't nearly cover the overhead of power this grants. Exactly. Also, you cannot avoid that penalty at all, as you inevetibly incur the penalty when you attempt to get the bonus (you have to sacrifice some of your attack bonus in order to get the damage bonus, and then you might miss, giving up the bonus for nothing). The fear penalty, on the other hand, can occur, but it doesn't have to. You might go for weeks without encountering any fear effect, but you get the bonus all the time. Especially for a rogue, it's not that much of a limit. They're limited to sneak attacks to begin with. The limit is there for those who take one level of rogue, though. Still, I say it's too much. It's, statistically seen, almost 6 extra dice of SA at level 20 (6d6 is 21 on average.). I've seen feats that grant you one extra die. Two or even three might be okay (this would be +10 damage) with a drawback, but this is too much. [/QUOTE]
