Rogue question

[gohonn]

Do rogues get STR modifier added to their sneak attack damage?

[Dandonk]

Umm... yes and no.

No, they don't get it added to their sneak attack per se.

But yes, STR affects all melee damage, sneak attack or not. So STR is good - it adds damage both when you get your nice sneak attacks, and when you're beating on stuff that's immune to SA.

[Luckness]

Nope. These things may increase sneak attack damage.

- Odd rogue levels (1d6 for level 1, 3, 5, 7, 9... total of 10d6)
- Rogue enhancements (+12 for Sneak Attack Training IV)
- Rogue Assassin PrE (3d6 for Assassin III)
- Rogue capstone (4d6)
- Half-elf rogue dilletante (3d6 but does NOT stack with rogue levels/enhancements)
- Halfling enhancements (+8 for Guile IV)
- Gear (for example, Tharne's Goggles)

I don't understand it completely but I hear that the revised damage boost will increase sneak attack damage temporarily.

To use an example, I have a level 20 pure halfling rogue. He gets 10d6 sneak attack from levels, 3d6 from prestige enhancements, 4d6 from capstone, 12 from Sneak Attack Training IV, 6 from Guile III (not paying 8 more AP for Guile IV), and +8 from Tharne's Goggles. That's 17d6 + 26 sneak attack damage, an average of 85.5 SA, with numbers routinely popping over 100.

I don't understand it completely but I hear that the revised damage boost will increase sneak attack damage temporarily.

iirc, the upcoming damage boost change is a percentage boost to damage output, rather than a static +X to base damage.

Add the Past Life:Rogue clicky for another situational +10 and 3 rogue past lives for an additional +3

dont forget monk path! ninja spy gets SA too ^^

[Bodic]

The only things that modify Sneak Attack damage are Mob Fortification/Aggro, Enhancements, Items, and Feats.

I don't know much about Rogue Mechanics so the following build must have some flaws.

i want to build a rogue how should i build him i want to be a rogue drow mechanic

Then stop wanting to be drow, stop wanting to be mechanic. Go any other race, and go assassin.
