Accomplished Sneak attacker stacking


Rules Questions


Is there a rule that would prevent you from taking Accomplished Sneak attacker multiple times, as long as your meeting the rule that your sneak attack die total cant exceed half your level?

I realize it doesn't say you can take it more then once, and just assuming you can would lead to people taking power attack, weapon focus, etc multiple times.


Given that EVERY feat that can be taken multiple times, either for stacking effects or for applying effects to different objects, expressly mentions it, it is obvious that a feat that doesn't do so can't.

Benefit: The benefit is what a feat enables a character (“you” in the feat description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once, its benefits do not stack unless indicated in the feat's Special line.

Special: This line lists special features of the feat, such as, but not limited to, whether or not you can take the feat more than once, or whether the feat allows members of specific classes to gain additional benefits.


Wonderful, thank you. :D


Does the feat turn off if you later gain more sneak attack? like at lv4 you have 1d6 sneak attack and get it. Then at 5 and 6 you take rogue and snakebite brawler to get +2d6. Which would make your total 4d6 at lv6 with the feat if the feat still works. Or would the feat stop working?

Yep. It's got a "to a max of" clause, if I recall correctly. Failing that, not meeting the requirements turns a feat off in general.


but that max of clause isn't in the requirements.
And would that mean if I then proceeded to take levels in classes that grant sneak attack at lv1 to be 7d6 at lv10, that because I took this feat earlier my sneak attack is limited to 5d6?

The way the feat is worded, this would appear to be the case. The second sentence appears to add a restriction to your sneak attack ability.

(If I had written it, my wording would have been "You do not gain this benefit if your number of sneak attack dice would exceed half your level." But I didn't, unfortunately.)

This feat deactivates itself if it's contributing to exceeding the amount a rogue of your level could have. It's for multi class rogues.

Or any class or archetype that grants less-than-full sneak attack.
