| notes = * Sneak Attack refreshes after the Rogue's turn ends.
== At Higher Levels ==
* As Sneak Attack requires a [[Finesse]] weapon, it may not be used with unarmed attacks.
 
* When Sneak Attack is applied automatically to a triggering attack via the [[reaction]] system, it is treated as a [[Damage_Mechanics#Damage_Riders_treated_as_Damage_Sources_(DRS)|"DRS"]]
For every 2 [[Rogue]] Levels above 1, your '''Sneak Attack''' deals an additional {{DamageText|1d6|Physical}} damage, e.g.
* When using a weapon attack that hits multiple foes, such as [[Whirlwind Attack]], the Sneak Attack reaction that can trigger from the attack will only affect the first target hit

*{{DamageText|3d6|Physical}} at [[Rogue]] Level 5
