What happens if a character has taken the accomplished sneak attacker feat but as he levels the character's sneak attack die exceed half his / her level?


Rules Questions


Topic. But as an example let's say First level I go fighter, then i take two rogue levels. I'd be level three with 1 sneak attack die but I take accomplished sneak attacker s I have two which would be the limit. Next level I progress in rogue and now I've hit 3 sneak attack die at level four which now puts me over the sneak attack die limit as it hasn't raised yet. So what happens here? Does the feat simply have no effect?

I would say that the feat has no effect until you take another level of fighter or another class that doesn't grant sneak, at which point it would be able to have an effect once more.

Yep, you no longer meet the prerequisites, no effect until you do

No, you meet the prerequisite just fine. The only prerequisite for the feat is that you have the sneak attack class feature.

So you still qualify for the feat, it just wouldn't have any effect. This is an important distinction, as if you no longer qualify for a feat, you can't use any other feat that requires it as a prerequisite either. In this case I don't think that matters, but it is something to keep in mind.
