[QUOTE="Road_Runner, post: 5327397, member: 89099"] So I'm really interested in this class but I have a few questions regarding gameplay and rules: 1) So I was reading this handbook... [url=http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44299]Jack-Of-All-Trades: Fax Celestis' Guide to Spellthieves - Giant in the Playground Forums[/url] ...and I came across this text "...Gives you concealment, which means you'll get sneak attack. Also drastically improves your survivability." How does concealment give sneak attack? I seem unable to find the rule for it :-S 2) I just realized that you can't flank with ranged weapons?
