[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 111711, member: 1118"] Forrester, you do realize that taken to the extreme, you can prove how any combination of things in 3E is broken? Just because you see that in some specific circumstances that a rogue making sneak attacks with spells is broken is nothing new here. All any DM and group can do is sit back and think about how to fix things in their campaign (if it needs to be fixed at all). I don't think any of us are novice DMs and we are all cabable of stepping in and fixing things if broken. That's outside of this thread. The original poster wanted to know the rules for sneak attacking with spells. We provided it. You them slammed anyone who allows these rules in their campaigns. In my campaign, for example, I don't just allow someone to multiclass. There has to be a roleplay reason to go from a rogue to a sorcerer (or visa versa). Then, the actual class change is roleplayed out. So, obviously, in my campaign I have less to worry about sneak attack spells than in someone elses. Thus, I see this problem as very, very minor - you need to have a multiclassed rogue/wizard or sorcerer AND they have to be able to get a ranged sneak attack (not as common as you are making it out to be). You have a different opinion because your experiences have been different. That's fine. Just stop implying we are bad DMs for using a rule you don't like. IceBear [/QUOTE]
