That's the basic part.You get to add your sneak attack damage (i.e. 2d6 at 1st level according to the table in the Rogue section) to the weapon damage, if you have COMBAT ADVANTAGE at the time you attack (once per round only, though, you simply decide after you hit with the attack, that you want to add the extra damage). If you have CA, you have a superior positioning or other advantage, that makes it harder for the opponent to defend against your attacks.You can gain CA in a number of ways, the most basic are using Stealth successfully to attack from hiding, or to flank the opponent with an ally to have him distracted. There are also some powers and various conditions that grant CA in some way or another.CA is just a state (which also confers a bonus to your attack rolls). Sneak Attack isn't an action or anything, it's simply a damage bonus based on that state.ByeThanee</blockquote>
