Notes

  • When Sneak Attack is applied automatically to a triggering attack via the reaction system, it is treated as a "DRS"
  • This ability will only fire 1 shot. If you are planning to go dual classing as rogue and ranger with dual hand-crossbows using sneak attack for more damage, you should be wary that sneak attack will not make use of the other crossbow.
