[Ninja] Sudden Strike and Ghost Step

[Evil DM]

Hi folks,

I just wonder about the Sudden Strike ability of the Ninja. Does this work for every attack? Said if the Ninja is e.g. invisible (to trigger the Sudden Strike) and attacks with two weapons or has multiple attacks he does additional damage with every successful hit?

Second I have a little discussion with my group how to understand the Ghost Step ability. One of my players argues that the Ninja becomes invisible and that the invisibility ends if he attacks - like the spell invisibility.
But I say that it would be written there like this if this was true. So I say the Ninja stays invisible until the beginning of his next turn. Because the text says clearly ...become invisible for 1 round. And there is nothing written about any similarity to the equivalent spell.


So what do you say?

Cheers, Evil DM.

The invisibility lasts for 1 round, even if you attack. So the ninja gets the benefits for his extra attacks too.

Victim's right - Sage advice answered this one about a month ago.

As for sudden strike, it does work for every attack you make, provided your target is denied his Dex bonus. It functions exactly the same as sneak attack, except for the stricter conditions required to use it.
