[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6104981, member: 7006"] Actually, I think it works out really well now, because (as mlund mentioned) all the rogues get a specific method for gaining Advantage each round. Thus... they have three ways they fight. They can Sneak Attack every round if they want, but they attack with Disadvantage. They can attack every round with Advantage if they want, assuming they are positioned the way their scheme requires. Or, they can attack normally and gain Sneak Attack damage by being in their Advantage position, and that Advantage gets negated by the SA's Disadvantage. Thus... the Rogue now gets their Sneak Attacks just like they always did... except rather than getting the extra damage AND the bonus to the attack (like in previous editions), they get just the extra damage. The Rogue in combat doesn't become too overpowered compared to the Fighter. I think it's actually a pretty clever idea. [/QUOTE]
