[QUOTE="Athinar, post: 6537836, member: 6781944"] I don't know what book you are reading from or you just made it up, but if it is written as a "[B]Ranged Weapon[/B]" and it is RAW. Finesse nor Light is required for the "Range" Sneak Attack otherwise it would have been written in the book, so Heavy, two handed, Loading, and Size does not stop the Range Sneak Attack Listed as [B]Range Weapons [/B]in the DMG, page 255 Cannon - the ultimate Sneak Attack Weapon in 5.0 Cannon Ball, [B]Ranged Weapon[/B] Attack: +6 to hit, Range 600/2400, one target. Hit 44 (8d10) Bludgeoning Damage Ballista Bolt, [B]Ranged Weapon[/B] Attack: +6 to hit, Range 120/480 one target. Hit 16 (3d10) piercing damage Listed as [B]Range Weapons[/B] in the Players Handbook; Range Weapons don't need Finesse Quality Crossbow - Light Range, two handed Dart - Finesse Range Sling - Range Blowgun - Range loading Crossbow Hand - Range, Light, loading Crossbow, Heavy - Range, Heavy loading, two handed Longbow - Range Heavy, two handed Dagger is both Melee and Range and is Finesse, so you could say yes for Range Sneak Attack Javelin is both Melee and Range and is not finesse for Melee and is not listed in the [B]Ranged Weapons[/B]list in the Players Handbook, so no Range Sneak Attack If it is not listed in the Players Handbook in the "[B]Range Weapons[/B] List" then it has to be a Finesse with Range to qualify for Sneak but you can say that the dagger is not a [B]Ranged Weapon[/B] either because it is in the Melee list [/QUOTE]
