[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 111514, member: 1118"] Yup, I use it, but if the dragon has just reached down to bite the rogue, I'd have a hard time telling my rogue player that he couldn't time a blow to the eye when the dragon reached down to bite him. There is one thing that I never let the rules do - override my common sense. I just have to problem with someone hitting the "sweet spot" with a ray of frost if they could do the same thing with an arrow. Yes, the touch attack is a powerful perk. But, if the rogue is spending his action casting a spell he is giving up potential multiple attacks to do so. In the case of a dragon, the multiclassed rogue/wizard is either not going to have enough wizard levels to get through the SR, or if he has enough wizard levels to get through the SR, he isn't going to have enough rogue levels to do a lot of sneak attack damage. BTW - how is the rogue getting these automatic sneak attacks each round against the dragon? [Edit] Of course it's a highly magical dagger - we're talking about a PC fighting an ancient red dragon here, he must be nearly 20th level at least :) Bottom line is, by the RULES (and this is the RULES FORUM), this is allowed. You don't like this rule so you have Rule 0'ed it. If you had said that in a polite manner in the beginning we wouldn't be having this conversation. IceBear [/QUOTE]
