Isn't there a spell that grants the target sneak attack damage? I could have sworn there was a 1/3 progression spell from something like the Rangers list. I could have sworn it was Hunters Mercy, but that makes the next ranged attack auto crit. Am I crazy, or does this spell exist?

Hunter's Eye, I think. Critical Strike also, maybe.

That would be so sweet! Sneak Attack Fireball!!!!


Or, if you prefer, Sneak Attack ballista...

Hunter's Eye, a level 2 Ranger spell in the PHB II. Best used by Unseen Seers who pick it up with Adaptive Learning, actually.

Have fun!

Oh thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy and just dreaming up random nifty spells!

Edit: Unseen seer combo for the spell is pretty wicked alone. I was actually planning on using it in a Chameleon build for this particular purpose, but I couldn't remember what the dang thing was called :P

Sneak Attack requires an Attack. So No Fireball unless you are spellwarping.

Bah, yuck.

If I wanted a polymorph style sneak attack I'd go with Otherwordly for outsider type and polymorph into a Kelvezu. +8d6 sneak attack and a decent DC poison FTW.

Depends on what you're using it for. The spell is a UMD rogue's best friend. :smalltongue:

Oh believe you me, I know that well. :smallamused: I just didn't want to risk derailing the thread with the usual paladin/rogue multiclass debate about sneak attack and falling.
