Stacking Shax’s Sneak Attack


Rules Questions


In Shax’s version of Demonic Obedience, it explicitly says that you gain +3d6 sneak attack and that it stacks with any pre-existing sneak attack dice you might have. In Fiendish Obedience it only says you gain +5d6. Does this still stack with pre-existing sneak attack or is it only RAW and doesn’t stack?

That exalted boon from fiendish obedience says, "If you don’t already have the sneak attack ability, you gain sneak attack +5d6."

If you already have sneak attack from another source, you don't get the 5d6. It explicitly does not stack with pre-existing sneak attack damage.

The demonic obedience 3d6 boon explicitly does stack with your other sneak attack.
