@@jakob3044 ok so after re-reading the rules for 5e here I have come to the conclusion that they are identical to that of bg3. First off in both games you can sneak attack as a reaction assuming you did not sneak attack previously to that and it recharges on your turn i had misremembered the rules from when i last checked. Though in dnd it is buggy in the fact that if you get sneak attack as an attack of opportunity before your turn that round it won't recharge until your turn. Secondly technically it is once per turn as that is what it states but I would need to do some testing in game to see how it works fully. And once per turn can be a buff depending on your initiative order because you could get your sneak attack earlier then you would otherwise if you get an attack of opportunity on an enemy earlier then you in initiative 1 which could mean the difference between taking a shitload of damage or killing a powerful enemy because usually boss monsters have high initiative scores so they will probably beat you initiative if you don't have alert

Also they played pathfinder, where all rangers can get pets (it's 1 of 2 options and the other one is super boring). So Trinket already existed before they even played D&D 5e. So really the only thing that made sense for her was to pick beastmaster, because that subclass let her keep her pet she'd been playing with for a while at that point.

BG3 has tons of options like this one, that aim to fullfill the smallest of the players' personal fantasies. The option exists literally just so you can use it, if you want. As for "why" would anyone use it: Pickpocketing brings up almost all of the items the NPC has in their inventory, with few exceptions (nothing specific - it's just a bit randomized). That way, if you pickpocket a weapon from the enemy, they can't use said weapon in combat - same with scrolls, potions, bombs, etc. This is purely a fantasy of "play however you want" and that's really all there is to it.

Honestly, from tabletop experience, everyone I knew who has ever played as an assassin class has never, ever, used their infiltration expertise feat. One reason is that you don't have to play as an assassin class to have connections to create a false identity or official-looking certification.

Every class in BG3 can use items as a Bonus Actions, even in DnD 5th edition, most DMs allow the use of non-rogues classes to use specific items as a Bonus Action, since it is basically the core feature of the Thief Rogue subclass, it makes the feature kinda pointless so the implimentation of an additional Bonus Action was establised. And with this feature at having 2 bonus action at just level 3 makes dual wielding a viable and strong fighting style. While in 5e, dual wielding looses it's value when your greatsword wielding Paladin reaches level 5.

The sneak attack point is actually not true. Under the reactions tab you can enable sneak attack to apply.

By the end of that roast, the BG3 Rogue is as dead as their parents.

BG3 taught me so much about how the rogue's sneak abilities worked though, with line of sight and visible 'detection areas' and light levels, how sneak attacks are supposed to work against enemies that know you're there, it was always something I had a really hard time visualizing in 5e.

Suddenly approached by a guard or a priest don't really remember since it's been awhile and was told that a robbery has taken place and I was the main suspect so I stopped and I yelled to my bf "DID YOU ROB THE CHURCH?!" And I could hear the smirk when he said "I don't know what you're talking about" I just barely passed the skill check and then chased him down wildshaped into a cat and began aggressively meowing next to him every time he tried to rob a place.

“Why don’t you just sit?” Get this discount monk of an orphan out of here

Oh, that 2nd bonus action is INSANE Sure.. not a good sneaker, but still

BG3 Rogue"Alright, let's roll credits please!" 5e Rogue: "Hol up. You gon get this work!"

Man this one got vicious. No mercy given.

that is cold at the 45 second mark.

Beneath this video, I got a suggestion for a video with a thumbnail of Krillin from Dragon Ball Z throwing a senzu bean. Seems fitting, given the ending.

Sneak attack can actually be done as a reaction, you just need to turn it on in the reactions menu, like paladin smites

Right but it's not *suposed* to take any action economy, it's just a fun bonus die that reflect your rogue using their advantage in combat to strike at a vulnerable point to inflict more damage, not sneak in an extra, little stab from a secret knife or something.

@averyodowd6448 It doesn't use a reaction, phrased that badly. It works the same way the barbarian reckless does, you can do it for free after an attack hits you just have to enable it

0:40 Damn that was brutal!

🤣 Daddy Larian 😂 loving it😋

For once it's the BG3 version who gets bullied, that's unexpected.

At least you can toggle sneak attack as a weird reaction that doesn’t cost a reaction when you hit in the reactions tab. Unfortunately so many people don’t realize this though.

5e Rogue inflicted so much damage to BG Rogue here I think we may need a Necromancer to bring him back, a Cleric will probably never be able to heal that much trauma.

Sneak attack is also auto applied if the condition are met when using normal attack. adv or enemy near ally and no disadv.

Pretty sure 5E Rogue multiclassed in bard too, because damn those were some Vicious Mocqueries.

You can make sneak attacks as a “reaction” if you turn it on in the reaction menu of the character

The turning invisible followed by the parents line should apply as a bonus action attack. ~_~

You guy's should see 3.5, every attack can sneek attack so a blinking duel dagger thrower can sneak attack 6 times a turn. They where glass cannons that could only kill low ac enemies

That extra bonus action can make a dual wielding sharpshooter NASTY! Just ask my thief rogue/battlemaster fighter cowboy Wulford Buckly.

- I can do this now! disapperas - You can turn into your parents? Lmao someone cast create water, there's too much fire

Damn, Duke didn't choose violence. He straight up sneak attack killed the entire competition.

The magic items in BG3 totally break the thief class though. Cats grace cloth and the smuggler ring and you can rob shops and NPCs blind

"You're a son to no one!" Daaaaamn 😂

You can apply sneak attack in BG3 you need to able it in the reactions...

That daddy larian and mommy wizards nearly ended me.

Slight correction : you can toggle "ask if I apply sneak attack" in the game, so it asks you if you want to apply it for each attack you take, instead of using sneak attack action.

0:38 Are you sure that's not the Bard? Because that was some vicious mockery.

Wow 5e was brutal in that Great vid

Expertise in sleight of hand, plus reliable talent opens a lot of the doors in the game...

Best line in the whole sketch: "We're not trying to get in combat. That’s why we're SNEAKY!"

I think my boy underestimated how big of a deal 2 ba can be for rogue. You can do 2 cunning actions with those. Combinations like hide - sneak attack - hide so you don't have to ensure that you are hidden on the beginning of each turn. Or for melee, if you are hidden: sneak attack-disengage-hide
