Rogue Thief Acrobat Questions

[Nivek555]

Hello I just have a few question about going the thief acrobat route for Rogues.

First of all does the dex bonus to Quarterstaffs multiply on a crit or since it is adds to S.A. damage it doesn't?

Next does the extra dex damage get added to attacks on enemies that can not be S.A. such as undead?

Can glancing blows trigger S.A.?

For a Rogue is it worth taking all the 2H weapon feats if you are going to use a Quarterstaff?

No.

It shouldn't, but I haven't an Acrobat rogue to test it.

It adds to your sneak attack damage, in the same way an item with sneak attack bonus adds to your damage. No multiplication is involved. Just look at your character sheet and your dex bonus tells you how much extra damage your will be doing on successful sneak attack.

No. See above.

Don't sacrifice important feats for the THF feats. Take them only if you need to fill a feat slot.

Quick question regarding Glancing Blows:

Can the WF Greater Weapon Aptitude enhancement line grant SA damage on glancing blows much like they do the weapon effects?

Thanks!

According to some field-tests, performed by players, WF Great Weapon Aptitude enhancements are probably not working properly (bonuses not applying? bonuses too low to even be noticeable?). Anyway, even if they were, sneak-attack damage would not be applied to glancing blows.

No. You will never get sneak attacks on glancing blows, unfortunately. if we did no one would play barbarians.

Is the bonus to quarterstaves limited to such or does it actually apply to any 2hander you are proficient with (one of my characters is a ftr/rog). I know what the description of it at ddowiki says but I realize it could possibly be worded that way cause it is rogue specific and they are not proficient in the others. So this question is mainly to verify / eliminate possibility.

A staff is a staff so acrobats get the bonuses only when using a quarterstaff of some kind. Rahl's Might for example.

Have they fixed the Dex to SA damage yet, anyone know?

[The_Phenx]

NO fix.
