Path of the Scoundrel

Sneak Attack

• Requirements: BaB 1, Stealth 1, 10 EXP

Your attacks 1d6 deal extra Precision damage anytime your target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when you’re flanking a target. Should you score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. You must attack the target with a light melee weapon to Sneak Attack. Additionally, you may only produce one Sneak Attack against a specific creature per turn.

With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), you can instead make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. A character cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

The character must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Additionally, you cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

Every time you increase both your Base Attack Bonus and ranks in Stealth, the precision damage increases by an additional d6, to a maximum of 10d6 at Base Attack Bonus 10 and 10 ranks in Stealth.

Offensive Defense

• Requirements: Scout’s Charge, Bluff 8, Sneak Attack 3d6, 20 EXP

When you hit a creature with a melee attack that deals sneak attack damage, you gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC for each sneak attack die rolled, for one round.

You may gain this bonus against multiple creatures, provided that you successfully sneak attack them in the same turn.

Skirmisher

• Requirements: Offensive Defense, Sneak Attack 5d6, Knowledge Local 7, 30 EXP

When you are adjacent to a foe, as a full-round action, you can take a full-attack action to make melee attacks against the foe, moving 5 feet before each attack. You must move 5 feet before each melee attack you make, and can’t exceed your maximum speed, exceed your maximum number of attacks in a round, or attack any other target until the beginning of your next turn.

You must remain adjacent to the foe, and your movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal unless you succeed at the appropriate Acrobatics checks. If your first attack against the foe hits, you are considered to be flanking the foe on your second attack. Subsequent attacks made as part of the full-attack action continue to be treated as if you were flanking the foe until one of your attacks misses, at which point your attacks are treated normally. Such subsequent attacks allow you to apply Sneak Attack to the targeted creature, exceeding the once per round cap.
