[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 113405, member: 1451"] Yes I understood this part, which is what confuses me. It works very similar to a critical. The only reason you don't double sneak attack damage on a crit is for balance reasons (it doesn't make any logical sense, based on Tome and Blood). For example, let's say that rogue casts Ray of Frost on a Fire Dragon AND crits. This is a weird scenario according to your citation above. You wind up doubling the sneak attack damage due to the vulnerability, but NOT tripling it because you can't double sneak attack dice on a crit, even though it IS cold damage. Huh? It's cold damage, so it should get doubled too. But it doesn't because there's a rule for this. That's why I'm inclined to apply logic here and say under no circumstances can sneak attack damage be multiplied. Am I making this too complex or what? It just seems to break down into paradox when you crit. [/QUOTE]
