(2) In the opposite direction, this same "ready an action" trick is likewise how you get around Sentinel's ability to turn off Disengage: you just move, and if Sentinel hits you ready a move instead of an action. (1) Yes, Sentinel is one of the standard ways for melee rogues to get two sneak attacks per round and Is this standard for rogues? Has it been confirmed/errata'd anywhere?It's funny you should mention Sentinel, because The synergy with Battle Master's Commander's Strike is pretty obvious. Suddenly, I'm trying to imagine ways to get yet another sneak attack in with a reaction, on an enemy's turn. I had always just assumed it was one sneak attack *per round*. *nobody* gains more damage from haste than a rogue.Actually, Paladins are at least as good, since they can smite for at least the same damage without anybody around. and, being on someone else's turn, they can get sneak attack on that one also. rogues can use the haste action to attack (and potentially activate any bonus action attacks that rely on the attack action if needed), and then use their regular action to ready another attack which will happen on someone else's turn. rogues are the weapon user that benefits the most from haste, and nobody else even comes close, due to how sneak attack works. *nobody* gains more damage from haste than a rogue.Īlso, the person who said rogues benefit less than barbarians or paladins is just dead wrong. but, apart from twin polymorph (which is one of the rare situations where i feel like your concentration actually is better spent on a buff than on an offensive spell), most of the time you should be casting attack spells.Īlso, the person who said rogues benefit less than barbarians or paladins is just dead wrong. it works in situations where your offensive spells do not. personally, i would rather lock down half a dozen enemies from being able to do anything at all rather than give one (or two) allies haste at a rather high cost. If haste did not require your concentration, i'd say that the sorcerer would be crazy to not know it. But it is probably not better than being able to spend concentration on web, or hypnotic pattern, or stinking cloud, which does far more than just letting someone make an extra attack or move.
