Sneak Attack: "attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon" PHB p.96
Does a rogue get SA against undead when throwing holy water? |
| #2AaronOfBarbariaMay 19, 2015 4:03:15 | That entirely depends on whether your DM takes "ranged weapon" to mean a weapon listed in the ranged weapon sections of the weapons chart, or if your DM let's things that are meant to be thrown (daggers, handaxes, holy water, etc.) count as ranged weapons too. |

I think the idea of sneak attack is being able to target specific weak points, and I don't imagine that a splash weapon like a vial of holy water smashing open could reasonably target a weak point. If the undead were big enough or it had particularly obvious weak points, I'd allow it though. |
