[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 76865, member: 386"] But since Fighters get all those Feats in so many different combat areas, why do they leave this one out? Seems strange. It also seems strange that, if a Fighter wants to learn this new combat style, he has to focus more on attack than defense (lower hit points) but his accuracy and attack skill doesn't improve (lower BAB). That can easily be rationalized by the peculiarities of the Sneak Attack style; but why, then does the Fighter grab 8 skill points in areas he didn't have time to focus his study? What I'm suggesting is a Fighter who sees the value of Sneak Attack and focuses his entire next level into learning that style. In the core rules, he takes a level of Rogue - and his intense combat training might also give him 8 ranks in Diplomacy or Read Lips. Strange. I'm thinking about turning Sneak Attack into a series of feats that takes Search and Spot ranks as requirements, and only functions in light armour. I'm not sure if it would be on the Fighter bonus feat list, but Rogues would have access to it at thier normal rate of advancement. [/QUOTE]
