![]() ![]() Which while still having advantage on the first attack, there's still a better chance for the first attack to him compared to the second one which, I might be the bearer of an unpopular opinion but, I feel the bonus action is still better suited to be used for cunning action. But even when it comes to a non feat campaign, pre 14 scouts or the other subclasses have to decide on just attacking with advantage once from melee with a follow-up attack if needed/wanted or once from range with advantage with cunning action. I can see what you mean about the feats being the issue, like also with the skulker feat, allowing archers to remain hidden if they miss. Overall, I was just wondering what over groups have done about this, if they've done anything about it and why. After talking to one of my DMs we came up with two possible solutions so far, the first being melee sneak attacks are d8s instead of d6s or melee sneak attacks gain improved critical (crits occur at 19-20). Which don't get me wrong is a viable reason to do so, but when you have a high level scout in the party, it becomes fairly clear that getting a second attack that doesn't get sneak attack as a bonus action usually isn't worth making when they can still use their cunning action. I was just wondering what is everyone else's opinion about this because as it stands, I see no reason for a rogue to attempt a melee sneak attack other than to get a second hit to trigger sneak attack if the first attack missed. Though one thing that me and my DM noticed between all of them, is that no matter what they originally planned on focusing on for combat they all eventually ended up using ranged weapons, or questioning why the ranged sneak attacks were just as good as melee sneak attacks (cause of the risk vs reward aspect). Recently my group has had several different kinds of rogues, anywhere from a wood elf scout (archer), to a kobold assassin (dual wielding), to even changling mastermind (duelist).
