You don't get to gatekeep what's "needed" and what's merely cool or useful. I don't believe there is a single good reason why a core class' foremost class ability should be completely devoid of boosts. I don't have to justify "the need" to you. You're supposed to see it instantly. Why would you otherwise "need" anything specific when you can just use something generic? ---Obviously sneak dice should stack with elemental dice. It does that already and it should keep doing that. Why are you even asking such an obvious question, and why are you making it out to be a problem, as if the rogue's sneak damage was already so overwhelming any further increase would break the game. Just stop. We both know the rogue is a middling damage dealer, and that not even the super optimisers that regularly achieve two (or more) sneak attack damage helpings in a round break the game or the class. One item can add fire damage and be equally useful to the rogue and to a dex fighter. That does not mean ALL items should be equally useful to other classes, or that we should single out the Rogue's class feature for "absolutely no upgrades". So you can find that fire knife, and then later find a sneak attack knife. There's zero problem or issue here. Except in your mind.---Yes the Rogue is the "most deserving" character for any sneak damage related item or effect. Doh. I'm not sure I would call the druid "most deserving" of a druid-only item, but a) they get it anyway and b) that's not a problem, it's a solution. Same with any other class-only item. Just that there's no reason to make sneak attack related items "rogue only", just like a hypothetical item that adds bonus rages or smites is for the Barbarian and Paladin even if we don't actually class-restrict the items.</blockquote>
