[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6992500, member: 6787650"] Is this a reference to partial cover (and an assumption that another PC will always be in your line of fire)? Or is this a house rule that you've introduced? I thoroughly disagree with your reasoning and conclusions but not enough to argue about it. It seems as though you (or your DM) must be very strict about Cunning Action: Hide. Normally, attacking and then Hiding is approximately as good as TWFing--either way you've got two d20s which can apply your sneak attack damage, although TWFing gives you a small chance of doing d6 more total damage if both attacks hit. Melee Rogues can do more damage than ranged rogues if they leverage Sentinel or Haste for extra attacks or Booming Blade for extra damage... but DPR optimization isn't all that important anyway. What matters is what monsters you can beat successfully and how many HP it costs you to beat them, not how many rounds those HP are spread over. [/QUOTE]
