In practice though, you can’t really do something more than once or twice per round because of the action economy. You only get one action and potentially one bonus action on your own turn, and acting when it’s not your turn requires you to use your Reaction, of which you only get one per round. So, for example, a rogue can use Sneak Attack once per turn; this means on her own turn a Rogue could use her Action to Attack with a shortsword in one hand and a Bonus Action to Attack with a shortsword in her other hand, but only one of those attacks could benefit from Sneak Attack, since both are happening on the same turn. If a creature provokes an Opportunity Attack from her on its turn, she could use her Reaction to Attack it, and that Attack could benefit from Sneak Attack, since she hasn’t used Sneak Attack yet on the creature’s turn. If a different creature later provoked an Opportunity Attack from her on its own turn, she could theoretically Attack it and that Attack could theoretically benefit from Sneak Attack, but she couldn’t actually do it because she already used her Reaction, and won’t get another until the start of her turn.</p></blockquote><p></p>
