== Sneak == 

'''Abilities:''' Sneaks need to be sneaky, making [[Dexterity]] important.  Then again, [[Constitution]] will keep them alive, and skills are good, so more skills with high [[Intelligence]] can't hurt.  Having a [[Charisma]] score to to talk one's way out of jail is good too.

'''Races:''' Any.

'''Alignment:''' Any.

'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' As [[rogue]].

===Class Features===

All of the following are class features of the Sneak.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' The sneak is proficient in all simple weapons, the short sword, sap, and shortbows, and light armor.  They are not proficient in shields.

'''{{Anchor|Sneak Attack}}:''' If a sneak can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The sneak's attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] (whether the target actually has a [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus or not), or when the sneak [[SRD:Flanking|flanks]] her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 at 5th and every five levels thereafter. Should the sneak score a [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hit]] with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.

[[SRD:Ranged Attack|Ranged attacks]] can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a sap (blackjack) or an [[SRD:Unarmed Strike|unarmed strike]], a sneak can make a sneak attack that deals [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]] instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]] in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

A sneak can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—[[SRD:Undead Type|undead]], [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]], [[SRD:Ooze Type|oozes]], [[SRD:Plant Type|plants]], and [[SRD:Incorporeal Subtype|incorporeal]] creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]] is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The sneak must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

'''[[SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Evasion|{{Anchor|Evasion}}]] ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 2nd level and higher, a sneak can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the sneak is wearing light armor or no armor. A [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] sneak does not gain the benefit of evasion.

'''{{Anchor|Trap Sense}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 3rd level, a sneak gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from [[SRD:Traps|traps]], giving her a +1 bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] saves made to avoid [[SRD:Traps|traps]] and a +1 dodge bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the rogue reaches 6th level, to +3 when she reaches 9th level, to +4 when she reaches 12th level, to +5 at 15th, and to +6 at 18th level.

Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple [[SRD:Classes|classes]] stack.

'''{{Anchor|[[SRD:Evasion and Improved Evasion#Improved Evasion|Improved Evasion]]}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' This ability works like [[#Evasion|evasion]], except that while the 19th level sneak still takes no damage on a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against attacks henceforth she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] sneak does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
