Rangers!  I thought that was cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Here's the feat:Sneak Attack IYou are skilled at making Sneak Attacks.Prerequisite: Dex13+, Search: 4 ranks, Spot: 4 ranks.Benefit: Any time your target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when you flank the target, your attack deals 1d6 extra damage. Should the sneak attack be a critical hit, this extra damage is not multiplied.  Sneak attack only works if you are wearing light or no armour.Ranged attacks can only count as sneak attacks if the target is within 30 feet. You can't strike with deadly accuracy from beyond that range. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, you can make a sneak attack that deals subdual damage instead of normal damage. You cannot use a weapon that deals normal damage to deal subdual damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty. You can only sneak attack a living creature with a discernible anatomy. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is also not vulnerable to sneak attacks. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach a vital spot. You cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach. Sneak Attack IIYou are skilled at making Sneak Attacks.Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Search: 6 ranks, Spot: 6 ranks, Sneak Attack I.Benefit: As Sneak Attack I, but extra damage raised by +1d6. This damage stacks with the damage from other Sneak Attack Feats.The other Sneak Attacks follow the same progression.Then I did some checking to see what it would be like if a Fighter wanted to take Sneak Attack.  This is what I came up with:Rog1-Fgt9: Atk +13/+8 (1-8+5 longsword).  Sneak Attack +4d6.  Feats: Improved Init, Dodge, Sneak Attack I-IV, Weapon Focus: Longsword, Mobility, Weapon Spec: Longsword, Spring Attack, Power Attack.Although, now that I think about it, that Rog1-Fgt9 would work better with a level of Ranger.Oh yeah, there is an extra Feat in there because I changed all the Rogue's special abilities into Feats, and gave the Rogue a Bonus Feat list.</blockquote>
