You'll note that on the card it says that it's an 11th level power for the Cat Burgler Paragon Path.Stalker0 said:2nd: Based on number 1, we can assume that this power is for a moderately higher level character than 1st level. Yet, her dex modifier to damage (+6) is not significantly higher than a 1st level rogue's would be (+4 or +5 most likely). While this is obviously circumstantial, it does give some credence to the notion that damage does not directly scale with level.
Someone mentioned already that the "Backstabber" feat turns SA damage from d6s to d8s. The base weapon damage could be bumped from a lesser weapon as well.3rd: The weapon is doing d8's and has sneak attack, yet rogue's normally sneak attack with light blades (d6's or less). This indicates two possibilities: Either a rogue can eventually learn to SA with a heavier blade, or the rogue's damage die scales up with level.
