02-05-06, 05:27 PM I found a link in the char op boards that directed me to a list of psionic powers, and it listed under Concealing Amorphia that it negates sneak attacks due to the opponent being unable to pinpoint the "critical points" which sneak attacks rely on. Now I know it doesn't negate critical hits, but does Concealment or Total Concealment negate Sneak attacks in any way? I can't find info on this either under Concealment OR Sneak attacks.

A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

I reread the entry again and don't see how I missed that...

Thanks.
