I was just asking how he was getting 4d6 on every attack with a rogue. I was wondering if he was assuming all hits came in the form of sneak attack then 2 standard attacks?

And I apparently misunderstood sneak attack, as I thought the first hit in a series of hits would be the only attack defined as a sneak attack. I.E.- If I am flanking, the first strike is sneak attack (1d6), the next two attacks use my full round and are NOT sneak attacks, they are just Primary and Off-hand strikes.

Greatsword rogue?

. At 1st level, a TWF rogue dual-wielding shortswords is dealing 2d6 with each hit twice on a full attack action, for a total of 4d6 damage. The greatsword rogue is only hitting once for 3d6 (when sneak attacking, of course) but has a higher chance of succeeding in that attack. Also, he isn't beholden to needing a full attack action to get his damage in.

How is a Rogue getting 4d6 with short swords?

Wouldn't it just be 2d6 if both primary and off-hand hits are succesful? At least that's how my Rogue at 2nd level is getting 1d6+1d4 with a shortsword and a dagger

Unless you are assuming all hits are sneak, which in that case it would still only be 3d6, would it not? First attack would be the only hit that is sneak attack.
