Message: <blockquote data-quote="GuardianLurker" data-source="post: 455704" data-attributes="member: 786">Again, as I said earlier, 3e models "carefully placed shots" (or called shots against specific parts of the body) through the sneak attack ability. The question was "Is there any way to make this ability (called shots) available to other classes without unbalancing the game/weakening the rogue unacceptably?"The general answer seems to be a resounding NO, that the sneak attack ability (and thus the ability to make this form of called shot) is so integral to the rogue (and the rogue-like prestige classes), that no other class should be permitted it, that the ONLY way to acquire this ability is through multi-classing. Which is fine - I guess I'm just a little disappointed that there's no other reason than "rogues must retain this privilege". Can anyone offer any other?</blockquote>
