[QUOTE="mvincent, post: 3933580, member: 27034"] 1) Let him know about this thread. 2) Show him page 23 of the 3.5 FAQ ([url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20030221a"]here[/url]), which says: [I][SIZE=1]"[B]If a rogue gets multiple attacks in a round (such as from a high base attack bonus or the Rapid Shot feat), can she make sneak attacks for all of them?[/B] Yes, but only if each attack meets a requirement to be a sneak attack. For instance, a rogue who flanks an enemy can deliver a sneak attack with every melee attack she makes. A rogue under the effect of a greater invisibility spell treats every attack as a sneak attack, since she remains invisible despite attacking. If later attacks in a round no longer meet any requirement to be a sneak attack, they aren’t sneak attacks. For example, a rogue under the effect of an invisibility spell would deal sneak attack damage only with her first attack in a round, because she turns visible as soon as she makes the attack."[/SIZE][/I] 3) Show him the Rules of the Game article ([url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040302a"]here[/url]) which says: [SIZE=1][I]"[B]Number of Sneak Attacks[/B] Provided it is possible for you to make a sneak attack at all, you can make multiple sneak attacks when you use the full attack action. For example, if you have a higher initiative result at the beginning of an encounter, your foe is flat-footed and every attack you make is a sneak attack. The same is true if you flank your foe."[/I][/SIZE] 4) Make clear that you have no problem following his ruling if he wishes to house-rule otherwise. [/QUOTE]
