[QUOTE="Spiral159, post: 9787882, member: 6697593"] I've frequently had a problem with this at my table since me and my players got into TTRPGs with DnD 3.5 -> Pathfinder -> 5e and PF2e. Do you think you should have them roll a dexterity check vs the monsters Wisdom each time they go for that sneak attack or should they/the dungeon master just describe how the chaos gives them the advantage to keep sneak attacking? I think a part of me wants there to be some mechanical hoop you have to jump through to get yours sneak attack, but another part of me wants them to just come up with an in universe explanation to get their sneak attack. The other problem is also my players are also sort of expecting that mechanical hoop as well, and it seems like some of them just can't imagine a world where can just sneak attack in the middle of a chaotic battlefield or a character without dark vision can scout a head (to use another example).
