Except, the Rogue had an interesting strategy in mind that I'm not 100% sure works the way he thinks it does. Essentially, at the start of combat he moves around a corner so that no enemy has LoS to him and makes a Stealth check. The following round he uses Deft Strike to move out of hiding and attack with CA, gaining his Sneak Attack damage. As a Move action he moves back behind the corner, out of LoS again, and makes another Stealth check. Rinse, backstab, repeat. I've read through a few Stealth consolidation threads on this board, trying to make sure I have the rules down pretty well. Still, despite the sense that something is wrong with this strategy, I can't find anything explicitly disallowing it. Is this a viable way to attain stealth every round? (For the record, I don't really think this is overly powerful. It's not like every combat will provide a corner he can dance around in range, nor will he always beat passive Perception.)</blockquote>
