[QUOTE="Fusiox, post: 5408784, member: 97839"] Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your support! To get to the meat: I play a rogue--a drow rogue, to be exact. Because of their racial powers, and rogue powers in general, my drow rogue tends to gain CA a lot of the time in combat. What does that mean? More sneak attacks! Yay for me!... Except my DM feels it is too overpowered for the group and wants to make it an encounter power to deal Sneak Attack damage, as well as make undead immune to the sneak attack--which his current super-adventure has a big whack of... What do I do? I feel that if my DM does this, I will lose my job as a rogue. However, I don't want to argue with the DM, and he's right--being able to deal 16+ damage at level 2 with a Sly Flourish Sneak Attack seems rather powerful for the heroic tier. How do I get him to stop? Can someone explain to me how sneak attack works--do I just have to flank to be able to do that? Is it that easy? Or are monsters supposed to have defenses against this, leveling the playing field on my account? Thanks for reading this! It's great to be part of a community like ENWorld! [/QUOTE]
