05-19-07, 01:41 PM Hehe, well the idea is to be able to take assassin's stance plus your class given sneak attack damage and then use any of the maneuvers that make your opponent flat-footed, for some easy once per round sneak attacks, or if you can manage it, going all crazy with Time stands still and a ton of sneak attack damage.

There seems to be a lot of synergy between maneuvers and sneak attack, but not an easy way to get a decent amount of sneak attack without giving up your maneuver progression.

05-19-07, 02:46 PM I came pretty close with the Strike Leader (see sig). It doesn't so much have sneak attack as sudden strike, though it does grant it to the whole team.

(Read the class before leaping to conclusions. Its most extreme attack form kicks in around level 18 or so, detailed in my last post in that thread. The final results are... impressive, to say the least, but the setup costs are so extreme they're likely to see use maybe once per adventure, tops.)
