Hand Spinneret

Post by Beneidalus » Wed Nov 15, 2017 1:21 pm

It has probably been asked before, but it's new to me--the drow crossbow, Sithyrr'tyne--is it bugged? The 5d6 sneak attack doesn't seem to apply at all, as described on the item.

I recall that the bonus sneak attack feats don't work with Death Attack, or Sneak Attack from BG, but the character I'm trying it on is simply rogue/ranger, and there is no noticeable increase.

Working as intended, known bug, or something else?

Those sneaks are the same as rogue class sneaks.

They stack only with DA and SA from a BG.

I know for a fact that they do not stack with blackguard sneak attack.

Sounds more and more like a bug.

You're correct that the Improved sneak attack epic feat doesn't stack with death attack.

But what the item gives isn't the improved sneak attack epic feat. it's the rogue lvl 9 feat. So if you already have it it won't provide any bonus to your sneak attacks. And say a level 3 rogue, with 2d6 sneak attack dice, will only get a bonus of 3d6 sneak attacks from the item.

The bonus from this item replaces, if it's higher, the rogue's sneak attack dice.

No love for rogues. Sheesh.
