[NWN] Sneak attacking with ranged weapons

ZFR · 08-31-2007, 02:25 PM

According to my player's handbook + monster manual it can be done if the enemy if within 30 feet. How does it work in NWN. Is it possible to attack with a ranged weapon?

Yeah, and it works basically the same way. So long as you're close enough, and still sneaky, you get a sneak attack. In fact, you can sometimes get a sneak attack while the enemy is still closing, or even engaged with you, but that's only sometimes.

It also seems to be the case that you don't perform a "sneak attack" with all of your attacks per round. The attacks seem to be split up into "flurries" of attacks at a time (iirc each round contains 3 flurries), and attacks of the first flurry only seems to trigger a sneak attack (same for parry). You can see this for yourself if you have 3 attacks per round you might only perform a single sneak attack each round until you get more attacks from a higher BAB.
