[QUOTE="Wippit Guud, post: 1385811, member: 720"] Lets see... Rogue: [I]If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. *snip* Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.[/I] Spells: [I][i]Ray[/i]: Some effects are rays. [B]You aim a ray as if using a ranged weapon[/B], though typically you make a ranged touch attack rather than a normal ranged attack. *snip* [B]If a ray spell deals damage, you can score a critical hit just as if it were a weapon. A ray spell threatens a critical hit on a natural roll of 20 and deals double damage on a successful critical hit.[/B][/I] That crit part is new info for me, never even thought of it... on topic, though, if you aim it just like a ranged weapon, and a rogue gets a sneak attack on ranged weapons....
