[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7030368, member: 57494"] The warlord letting he Rogue take extra sneak attacks isn't really a big issue if the Warlord is giving up their action to let the Rogue do this. If the rogue's sneak attack were the best thing for a warlord to use their action, then you simply have to balance the warlord against the rogue. An action is an action. Rogue sneak attacks seem about as good as fighter full attacks to me, aren't they? Level 1 Rogue: 1d6+Dex (main) +1d6 off hand +1d6 sneak attack. (13.5) Level 1 Fighter: 2d6*+Str. (11.33) Lvl 5 Rogue: 5d6+Dex potential (21.5) Level 5 Fighter: 4d6*+(str*2) (24.66) Level 11 Rogue: 8d6+Dex potential (33) Level 11 Fighter: 6d6*+(Str*3) (40) The rogue is definitely more smooth, but they're pretty close; close enough for Government work. If the Warlord could only grant a single attack, then definitely you wouldn't want it to have sneak attack, or anything really. I wanted to build a Warlord off the Warlock chassis.
