[Epic]Sneak Attack of Oppurtunity

[jontherev]

Is this really as nasty as it sounds? Taken literally, it sounds like you can sneak attack ANYTHING, even those immune to sneak attacks.

It still follows the Sneak Attack rules, meaning creatures immune to critical hits still cannot be sneak attacked.

Add that feat, then add...

Lingering Damage: Any time you inflict damage with a sneak attack, that target suffers damage equal to your sneak attack bonus damage on your next turn as well.

I don't know - what does it sound like to you?

To me, it sounds like when you get an AoO against a target it does sneak attack damage even if he isn't flanked or denied Dex... a different kettle of fish

Sneak Attack of Opportunity: ANY AoO you make is considered a sneak attack.

The wording of the feat tells me you can sneak attack anything under the sun. Would I play it like that? No, because it doesn't make sense. But that is what the feat implies to me.

I'm pretty sure that it falls under the same category as crits.

Critters that are immune to crits still suffer the critical hit, they just don't take any extra damage from it. The same would apply to sneak attacks. The rogue can SA the heck out of a golem, the golem just doesn't suffer any extra damage from it.

Sure... It is just trying to reflect how super fast and accurate you have become... that any time an opponent drops his guard (even a little) as represented by provoking an AoO... you are able to sneak a good shot in.

But if the baddie is immune to sneak attacks, he is still immune to sneak attacks of opportunity.
