With this ability a factotum of 4th level can deal sneak attack damage by spending inspiration point(s).
Is this supposed to be understood that this attack works just like a rogue's sneak attack and must flank or deny the opponents Dex to AC?
Just from reading it, it seems like the factotum 'spots' a weakness such as an old scar on an ogre's leg (in rp section of the class) or some kink in an opponents armor. Which makes it kinda like that skill trick where you make a spot check to SA an opponent.
I could understand if they just intended for the reader to have knowledge of how a rogue's sneak attack works, and maybe that's why they didn't elaborate on the subject more.
Anyone come to a consensus or catch something that might of missed?
