Message: <blockquote data-quote="starwed" data-source="post: 3162017" data-attributes="member: 36983">Um, because they're rogues?  ^_^  I think the point is that rogues are specially trained and/or naturally adept at being sneaky bastards, and part of that is (traditionally) sneaking about in the dark and stabbing people.The fact that your average rogue can't do this in D&D is what seems odd to some people.  Sure it makes mechanical sense, but it doesn't jibe with the flavor some people are after.Personally I'd want even 1st level rogues to have an advantage in a dark alley, so even FtDM's rule is a bit too restrictive for me.  If you want to preserve some penalty for the sneak attack, maybe rolling an additional miss chance for it would work, or simply subtracting one from each die roll.</blockquote>
