[QUOTE="Mr.Binx, post: 296255, member: 4691"] An amazingly well-worded response from customer service. I'm surprised. The last time I sent an e-mail to customer service I reaceived an e-mail that had horrible spelling, was in all caps, and made almost absolutely no sense whatsoever. I stopped e-mailing customer service after that. Guess it just depends on who reads your e-mail, neh? But I digress. :p I agree with the line of reasoning in this response. During combat you're on your defensive and only one sucker punch is likely to get through before your guard goes up. This would follow the line of reasoning for impromptu sneak attack and similar special abilities that are used in conjunction with sneak attack. Also, it should be pointed out that if the invisibility is dropped by an attack that was caused during a period of non-combat then the victim is flat-footed and the rogue's action is counted as a surprise round, thus initiating combat, and everyone involved rolls initiative as normal. If the rogue is able to get initiative before his opponents then he will be able to make his full allotment of attacks as sneak attacks since the flatfooted characters will not regain their dexterity bonuses until their initative. So if you are going to drop your invisibility to gain a sneak attack make sure you're either flanking the victim or are outside of combat. Otherwise your opening yourself up to attacks for one sneak attack when you could be milking the situation for more. :D [/QUOTE]
