[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 1659602, member: 7808"] Broken? Probably not. Bad form? Probably. I consider sneak attack to be a specific class ability. It's not something that you should get from a simple feat. You should have to give up a class level to do it. There are people who don't agree with this philosophy at all, though, and believe that there's no problem at all with allowing different exlusive class abilities to be granted without multiclassing. YMMV. In terms of brokenness, the main problem I see is with PrCs. The Arcane Trickster and Assissin both have requirements of a certain number of sneak attack dice, normally only possible with levels of rogue (or a different PrC). For a wizard to qualify for the Arcane Trickster with a couple of feats seems a little out of balance to me. Then again, if the feat in question is worded properly (gives a bonus +1d6 damage rather than an extra sneak attack die), it shouldn't be an issue. [/QUOTE]
