[QUOTE="guachi, post: 6461927, member: 6785802"] Yes, you can only get one sneak attack per turn. But getting multiple attacks per turn means, of course, a higher chance of getting that one sneak attack in. 2 attacks on your turn at 60% chance to hit (for example) means your chance of no sneak attack is reduced from 40% to 16% and of having a sneak attack increases from 60% to 84%. Since it's per turn, you can have more than one sneak attack per round. If you can somehow get an attack when it isn't your turn, you can sneak attack again. For example, if you are willing to put yourself in danger, you can take Sentinel and (potentially) sneak attack again using your reaction. Although in that case you'd likely want 5 levels of Fighter/Ranger/Paladin or 6 of Valor Bard to get the second attack. At that point you aren't a full blown rogue, anyway. But it does do a consistent level of damage. You could take Horde Breaker as a Ranger, for example, and you'd have the possibility of 2 attacks on your turn at Ranger level 3 and 3 at Ranger level 5. My Rogue was going for the Holy Slayer from al-Qadim. They use one-handed weapons. So my Rogue had to be sturdier in melee combat then a straight Rogue or he'd be toast. With a ranged weapon, you could just stay Rogue and take the CE feat to get two attacks. [/QUOTE]
