[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 286131, member: 5675"] [b]Re: Re: Sneak Attacks on Rays[/b] Why thank you for your valuable, and useful opinions. I'm not sure that any of you are understanding the reasoning behind my question here. A touch attack is something that requires no real skill or subtlety to it, whereas the sneak attack is totally the opposite, a blow to the nerves, jugular, kidneys or whatever. I can't, in my mind, combine the two. I've got no problem with spells delivering sneak attacks [I]per se[/I], but simply don't believe that it was in the intention of the original writers to allow my Arcane Trickster to cripple your paladin by managing to lay one finger on the tip of his helmet. Once someone's got me over that hurdle, [I]without being abusive[/I] or just saying 'you're wrong', then I'll be happy enough. I don't think I'm exactly asking too much, am I? (By the way, my 'House Rule' is simply the best answer I've seen to date, rather than a blanket acceptance or ban). [/QUOTE]
