[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8207207, member: 6855259"] Yes they did fail if that was the intent. If they really intended for the Rogue to have SA every single turn then the PHB is poorly worded. What it should say is: "Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an Attack" If they said that and left off the rest of the paragraph the Rogue would actually get SA every single turn. Saying they intended for it to be every turn when they wrote it, is like saying they intended for him to get SA with greatswords. If it was true they would not have put wording specifically disallowing it in the PHB. If the author put wording in there that prevents him from getting SA or puts conditions on it, then clearly the author who wrote that, when he wrote it, intended to prevent the Rogue from getting SA every turn. It is possible he/they changed his/thier mind. I will add that material that has come out since the PHB, including inquisitive, swashbuckler and now steady aim all may support the idea that they did change their mind. I will add, why bother with insightful fighting or the second part of Rakish audacity if they already get SA every turn. [/QUOTE]
