Message: <blockquote data-quote="BoldItalic" data-source="post: 6779498" data-attributes="member: 6777052">I'm curious to know where the suggestion comes from, that Scorching Ray can be considered a weapon for the purposes of satisfying the rules of Sneak Attack. Can anyone provide a link?(edit - added)I might have a clue. In the final DDNext playtest, Sneak Attack didn't specifically require a hit from a weapon, just an attack that hits; so any attack spell would have qualified. If people are still referencing the DDNext pdfs, rather than 5e rules, that might account for the confusion. In the 5e Basic pdf, as in the 5e PHB, Sneak Attack requires a hit from a ranged or finesse weapon and spells don't qualify (unless you have a spell that summons a physical weapon, and you attack with that).</blockquote>
