Dwarf Rogue (Subst. Level in Dragon 338) Question


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

Hi all,

About the Dwarf Rogue Substitution Levels in Dragon #338: The "Demolitionist" (and related abilities) obviously replace the rogue's +1d6, +2d6, and +3d6 sneak attack at 1st, 3rd, and 5th level. What happens when the character hits Rogue 7? Does he suddenly get Sneak attack +4d6? Does it start at +1d6? Or should the Demolition bonus damage go up to +4d6?

Okay, the first option would be pretty silly, but going straight by the tables and RAW, that's kind-of what it looks like. As for the other two, I could see it going either way, but the article doesn't seem to give any hints which it intends.

What do people think about this? Any chance of having the author/editors/etc. chime in? 8^)

I'd say there's a good chance an editor might chime in. :)

At 7th level the rogue gets sneak attack +1d6. So he has demolition +3d6 and sneak attack +1d6.

We didn't make that clear, and for that we apologize. A substitution level means you give up everything from those levels you would normally get in exchange for what the substitution level gives you.

Thanks. That's kinda what I thought, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

I'm just want to check, the dwarf rogue substitution levels are a d6 right?

Any word, I just want to make sure...d6?
