Thus, if your rogue got in 4 attacks with sneak attack damage applied, the foe takes 4 times your sneak attack damage bonus the next round.:)

Yeah, there's a lot of generally broken stuff in epic, but lingering damage isn't really one of 'em at all.

Plus, it will very, very rarely happen more than once a round. Rogues won't really be getting that many sneak attacks off, because even with a permanent greater invisibility, many monsters will sense you anyway, and/or be outright immune to sneak attack ...

... now if you want to see something broken, look at the rules for Epic Spellcasting. Now that's a broken system. o.O

Which still won't change that most any npc worth its salt will have some sort of fortification by then - at epic levels, that's dirt cheap!, if they aren't otherwise already outright immune to critical hits.

As for Darkstalker, though, I don't have LoM so I can't comment on that one.

Tbh a lot of characters can better use the money of a +5 bonus on other stuff. Basically i Would expect to meet fortification on fighters, and even then savvy rogue and crippling strike lets me bypass it and deal considerable strength dmg..
