[QUOTE="Wrathamon, post: 1957456, member: 7989"] Too me sneak attacks are just that "sneaky" you either nail a target who is not aware of you(surprise), off balance(flat footed), or in combat with someone else(flank). Feint causes someone to become off-balance letting you get in a good hit. The invisible blade class is suppose to be the blow that you never saw. I believe it was the intention of the design when reading the fluff that this wouldn't be a flurry of attacks but one well placed blow that the target didnt see or expect. That is why I like the Swift action. You get one attack that gets sneak damage plus you get your other attacks during a full attack action. The one that the target didnt expect cost him his life. I am changing it to intermediate action because I like the idea of the Invivisble blade not being a percieved threat and the enemy ignored him and runs by thinking a dagger isnt going to do much damage if he can even hit me, but that was during the moment the blade strikes, plunging his dagger into a kidney or something. Why flank? if you can just keep rolling "free" bluff checks for all your attacks, and reroll when you fail till you succeed. A DM can say you have a limit to one bluff "feint" per attack, but I prefer the flavor or the swift and intermediate actions for this ability. You dont have to use it, I just thought it was a good idea and works Great n my games and the players like it that use IBs before. -w [/QUOTE]
