[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1421264, member: 8243"] Thanks for the clarification TH. I missed the fact that a Feint was a standard action. The whole Feint/Sneak Attack melee combo for a rogue seems a little wonky to me, to be honest. It really seems to be the sort of thing an accomplished fighter would master. Having to sacrifice an attack to do it makes it seem a little better balanced. Halve the number of attacks you make in exchange for tripling (with a shortsword) the damage 1d6>1d6+2d6 when you hit. Improved Feint/Sneak attack now looks like a tasty option. I really would be a hopeless powergamer. [i]Gotta keep this in mind for next time.
