| | notes = * Sneak Attack refreshes after the Rogue's turn ends.
| |
| * 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"]]
| |
| * 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
