OK, you unleash sneak-attack hell on one guy and hurt him real bad. That still leaves a bunch of other baddies free to stumble into the party.Rogues get their sneak attacks quite a significant portion of the time simply by flanking, and there are fewer creatures out there that are immune to flanking than can see in darkness. Moreover, while a rogue is flanking, other characters get to attack. Overall, a much better tactic.Seems to me that if the rest of the party is just sitting around with their hands in their pockets, with nobody doing damage but the rogue, the party is getting the short end of the stick. The players aren't being nearly as clever as they think.</blockquote>
