Feat that gives an extra 1d6 to sneak attack

Guilberwood

First Post
I read somewhere that there's a feat that grants you an extra 1d6 to your sneak attack ability.

Do you know what's the source of this feat, where can I find it

Thanks
See ya

Unearthed Arcana has a Sneak Attack feat.

I ditched the thief for an "Adventurer" (the UA theif varaint w/o Sneak attack, + a few other tweaks), so the feat is necessary.

There should probably be a cap of "character level / 2"... otherwise I'll wind up having 10th level fighters with +11d6 sneak attack damage. (shudder).
 

From the Epic SRD:

IMPROVED SNEAK ATTACK [EPIC]
Prerequisite: Sneak attack +8d6.
Benefit: Add +1d6 to the character’s sneak attack damage.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Its effects stack.

sorry, but i can't find the sneak attack feat from UA. can anyone pinpoint the page that has the feat? thanks.
 

The UA sneak attack "feat" is in the Generic Classes section and not applicable to normal gaming since all class abilities there can be taken as feats.

Arcana Unearthed has sneak attack feats and some people (PlaneSailing IIRC, at least that's where I stole it from) grant +1d6 sneak attack (prerequ: BAB +4) as Dirty Fighting Feat since the old feat was a little bit silly.
 

The Rokugan book has a feat that does that called Bayushi's Technique. It's a clan-specific feat for the sneaky-ninja clan, the Scorpion.
 


There is a feat in the 3.5 psionics handbook which allows you to reroll 1's on sneak attack dice.

Seems like an incredibly weak feat to me ;) but it is nice to no longer have those sneak attack be able to come as all 1's. (inc avg = +.5 per sneak attack die, so if you have 7 or more then it averages out the same as having an extra die of sneak attack)
 

extra damage

Well it isnt a feat, but there is a weapon quality in the miniatures handbook, pg 40 called deadly deadly precision(+2 bonus), that give an extra 2d6 damage when doing a sneak attack. Couple that with a sword of subtlety(dmg pg 228) +4 to hit and damage when doing a sneak attack and thats some nice extra damage for a rogue.

Oh, also forgot book of exalted deeds that increases your sneak attack dmg to d8 instead of d6's vs evil ememies and it is also considered good.(sacred strike pg 45 BOED)
