[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9612383, member: 467"] Thank you very much. Here's the text for anyone else interested: [B][I]How often should thieves be able to sneak up and backstab a creature?[/I][/B] [I] Usually at least once per combat, and potentially more times if the thief invests the effort in hiding out of sight and sneaking around to an unaware creature. I don’t feel this should be given as readily as in a system like 5E D&D – it really requires the thief to go fully out of sight and then sneak around, undetected, into a surprising new position.[/I] This does not tell us much we did not already know from the rules, except illuminating Kelsey's own preferences on the matter. I am not inclined to "ensure" that the thief always gets to use their backstab at least once per encounter. It just isn't practical and the thief is balanced mostly by their skills, not their ability to be a combat Cuisinart as in 5E. [/QUOTE]
