Drows can be cool story hooks but lets face it they were massively overpowered compared to other races and this was always a factor in allowing them in a campaign.  the combination of multiple attacks with sneak damage hurts game balance.  a lot.You're ignoring the increased percentage of sneak damage being applied.  No, definitely not if you're trying to get your sneak damage in getting a second attack makes this power more valuable than any other rogue at will.  Is the rogue underpowered?  It's arguably the best striker, adding more chance of sneak damage is not a good thing.much much better from a balance perspective.+2 staff, +3 Int, 15+2d10+d6 = 41 max.  Are you taking some sort of weapon damage modifier on the staff used as an implement?  I don't think this is allowed though this area has gotten a lot grayer since the sword mage arrived on scene.does weapon focus add damage to an implement? if so that's not good.  making it two attack rolls is overpowered.good stuff.</blockquote>
