[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8375912, member: 6704184"] Right, I extrapolated. I've almost never seen it brought up from a "my damage sucks with my rogue PC", unless also coupled with "because my DM actively tries to avoid letting me get sneak attack". It's just not a significant thing outside of white room math analysis (which does not matter on any level unless it reflects and clarifies an at the table phenomenon or experience) and bad DMing. [I]I'm[/I] saying that the vast majority never notice it. I'm further saying, "and thus, it does not actually matter." Okay. It doesn't need to. That's a DM problem, not a design problem, of course. But it's a problem that exists exactly because so few people actually see any deficiency in rogue efficacy at the table, in play. That is, DMs often think Rogues are [I]very[/I] powerful. Hell, suggest giving rogues a damage boost, and someone will inevitably say that rogues can't be given damage buffs because they'd be way OP if they did any more damage. [/QUOTE]
