What? We have a major wit problem!
You're half right.
[FURTHER EDIT] Slight error in the above post. It should read...
It works like this. 1d4 sneak attack damage every level unless you decide to add something to your sneak attack- the best example is poison use, but I'm also considering certain negative conditions as well. You choose the poison or condition you're using before you make the sneak attack, and provided it hits you force the opponent to make a save(usually Fort, though not always) vs the number you just rolled or they suffer from the condition. I'm currently thinking the opponent doesn't take damage from sneak attacks that hinge on causing conditions, but if its considered too "weak" then I'm up for changing it in some way- the only reason I don't want it to do a lot of damage is because I don't want it to be used EVERY round with EVERY sneak attack- that'd be a little too much, and I want there to be some forethought put into it. Furthermore, I'm also thinking sneak attacks would only be possible once a round when using these rules.
Italicized things are what I should have put in there the FIRST time around. Thoughts?
You may now continue with your thread, already in progress.
That sounds reasonable to me. Now that you mention it, raw sneak attack damage should be better than applying a condition/poison. Have you ever looked at the Complete Rogue sourcebook (3.5 splattybook from WoTC)? It's got a similar mechanic to what you're looking for, except it trades out dice of damage for a condition.
By now, I should know better than to read comments on the major news boards. People think they are witty, but they're not.
Those people are half right. :)

Arrange an "accident" for those friends, so you don't have to worry about making the choice.

I would, but the law of luck-to-blunderance ratios indicates that any trap I would use to ensnare or kill said persons would inevitably fail as they'd kill themselves off before reaching that point.

Make said friends cut the grass and wash the dogs while you work on the campaign for them. By work on the campaign, I mean play Fallout 3. You can BS the campaign better than anyone I know.

I'm generally optimistic, but comments make me doubt the viability of the species. The lack of analytical thought I can live with, but the utter meanness of spirit of some posters is appalling.

Um, you do realize that you're in said campaign... and that means my BSing will likely get -YOU- killed.

I watch Fox News for the rock and roll intros.
I watch Comedy Central for the commentary.I watch G4 because its the only news that matters.
I say BS away.

It's another case of great minds(?) thinking alike as I came up with something like this months before that book came out- but I thought the rogue losing some of their 10d6 damage was too much, and most of the rogue players felt the same way.
What? We have a major wit problem!I feel witty, oh so witty...
My feelings are good, as they correspond to the reality.
Treppa you are both right and wrong. We have both a major wit problem and a half wit problem. They aren't the same problem.

That's because we have all the wit, but the half wits out there think they do, that just proves what witless wonders they are.

On a Fallout3 note, Clover looks so cute in her Confederate cap I pulled out of Point Lookout for her. And she just loves her new Flamethrower, now just to get her the Raider Commando armor from The Pitt, and she'll be the hottest little batsh*t crazy murderous sex slave in all The Capitol Wastelands! :)
Is it pessimistic or optimistic to call someone a half-wit?
Edit: stupid scroller... grumble grumble
It depends on whom you're calling!
My mother would pick the week the Icelandic volcano erupts to travel to Europe. Sure hope she can get back.
My little cousin and her new husband made it back from Iceland just fine, so I'm sure your mom will, too. :)
There are probably worse fates than being stranded in Paris for an extra week, but I can't think of any.

In Paris without plenty of money, perhaps. Of course, I still haven't been there myself, but based on known experiences.
Or on what day of the week you are calling said individual a half-wit.It depends on whom you're calling!Is it pessimistic or optimistic to call someone a half-wit?

I am a quarter-wit. ~thinks~ Hummmnnnn... Maybe that is NOT a good thing.
There are probably worse fates than being stranded in Paris for an extra week, but I can't think of any.For me it would be stuck with the in-laws for a week without my PS3 to vent my murderous rages.
I'd like to have a solid day and night of mayhem on the X-box. It's been a while.

I've been reading about Cloverfield, and this post just threw me off. Not in the FO3 mindset, "Clover" in a confederate cap would've just been... um... odd.

You have SD to work on!

I know, and that's nearly as much fun. Talk about mayhem and destruction!
Soon I will extract all the energon from the tildas... and I will return to Cybertron triumphant!
