HeliusNine (talk | contribs) (ATs are still rogues, who gets Cunning Action: Hide at level 2, so the multiclass line doesn't really apply. We should, however, modify the text to specifically mentioned the Cunning Action feature once the full game is out.) |

* Another niche use case exists for an [[Arcane Trickster]] making a [[Sneak Attack (Melee)|Sneak Attack]]. If the caster is out of spell slots, ''and'' no allies can flank for a sneak attack, ''and'' there is no other way to gain advantage for an attack roll, spending a single action on True Strike to enable a single sneak attack can be considered efficient. | * Another niche use case exists for an [[Arcane Trickster]] making a [[Sneak Attack (Melee)|Sneak Attack]].

** In such cases, True Strike can be even more useful when using the [[Sneak Attack (Ranged)|ranged version of sneak attack]], since this allows the caster to benefit from the range of the cantrip, especially with a [[High Ground Rules|High Ground]] bonus. At such distances, however, it is typically easier to just use a Bonus Action to [[Hide|hide]] first and obtain Advantage. | ** In such cases, True Strike can be even more useful when using the [[Sneak Attack (Ranged)|ranged version of sneak attack]], since this allows the caster to benefit from the range of the cantrip, especially with a [[High Ground Rules|High Ground]] bonus.
