To give another example, he makes that first main hand attack and misses. He then goes to use a bonus action to do his second hand crossbow attack with the Crossbow Expert feat (which by the way, that feat allows you to ignore the reload portion so he can actually just use one hand crossbow to do this), so on this second attack, he would just roll normal damage, no sneak attack damage on top of it. ![]() So let's say he attacks with his main hand weapon, we'll use hand crossbows for your example(we're going to assume the attack qualifies for sneak attack damage), then if he hits he can apply sneak attack damage to this attack. Sneak attack is just a poor name for the damage boost as it tends to confuse people. That's all it is, you're getting to apply extra damage once. Maybe you should explain it to your player as less "a sneak attack", which he is thinking he can do twice, and more that it is you can apply sneak attack damage to ONE attack (hit) per turn. In the same ROUND, sometimes a creature can use a reaction to make an attack (such as an attack of opportunity when an enemy moves out of the quare next to them), and if that attack qualifies for a SA, then they can add the SA damage to that attack, because it is on a different TURN than their own when they may have used SA already in that ROUND. ![]() So, two attack or more during a given turn (from multiattack, dual wielding, a bonus action, etc) only allows SA to be used Once in that TURN. There are as many Turns in a Round as their are characters/creatures.Ī Rogue can only use a sneak attack Once per TURN. Each character/creature gets one TURN per ROUND. Both hit and he applied sneak attack damage twice.No. He says right, I'll make two sneak attacks at the orc with my twin crossbows. ![]() I'm happy that he may use a reaction, which is a trigger if something happens that he is reacting to, but what about specifically as I described: There is an orc fighting your mate. Hmmm, reading those replies has left me just as confused.
