Sneak Attacking

[Gunslinger]

What are the various ways to force someone to lose his dex bonus so you can sneak attack?

Stunned

Surprised

Haven't gone yet in the combat

Blinded

Pinned

Invisable Foe

Bluff (Feint)

Hand Quicker than the Eye

Feign Weakness

I think there are some others but these are the things I kinda remember off the top of my head.

The sage also ruled that hidden=invisible=no dex bonus=sneak attack-o-rama.

Blinking

yep, if your dm lets you buy a ring o blinking, you'll be a happy rogue (mine is)

Unbalance, a combat option from the KoK Players Guide. The enemy even loses his dex bonus to Weapon Finesse

Here is an odd one that two of my players came up with.

I have two rogues in the party so they like to work as a team in combat. Lets them ''autoflank'' and some other really cool stuff. Here is one they came up with in the woods at night.

Rogue 1) Hides in the shadows, moving silently around the edge of the battle area. The hide in shadows is very easy, the move silently is not so easy though. He comes up on an opponent who is involved in melee. Then he jumps out and screams at the opponent. Opponent passes a will save of 15 + any damage taken that round or is stunned for one round.

Rogue 2) Performs sneak attack on stunned player.

While it's a neat tactic, it's nothing they did. You did it. Otherwise, screaming at your opponent doesn't do a thing. Still a neat tactic, but I wouldn't want it used in reverse.

Don't forget running and climbing.

The fun that can be had by putting some rogues/archers with good cover on top of a ruined tower, and finally goading your players into trying to climb with a not particularly damaging, but irritating shower of arrows...

Sneak attack damage + high difficulty Climb check + falling damage = fun

Maybe he's one of those Red Avengers. Isn't there a PrC or feat that allows you to stun people with a scream?
