As a Swashbuckler you get to use Sneak Attack if at least one of the following apply: No creature (ally or enemy) but the target is within 5ft range of the Rogue. A creature hostile to the target is within 5ft range of the target and the Rogue doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Are swashbucklers good?
The Swashbuckler is an excellent skirmisher and even better out of combat (at higher levels). In fights it can use its Sneak Attack near freely, hunting down and dispatching high-value targets.
Can a swashbuckler still use a sneak attack?
Regular sneak attack (which swashbucklers can still use) works at range if you have advantage on the attack or one of your targets enemies is within 5 feet of it. Yup I get that but are they allowed to still sneak attack if there are more then 1 creature within 5 ft of the ally while at range is what I am asking.
How many feet does a swashbuckler have to be?
Swashbuckler is within 5 feet of more than one hostile creature or character. Swashbuckler is attacking the target at melee range and a friendly character or creature is within 5 feet of him but isn’t within 5 feet of the target. Per a twitter post by Jeremy Crawford, Rules as Intended want the Swashbuckler to be within 5 feet of the target.
What is the description of the swashbuckler Rogue’s rakish audacity feature?
In the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide (p. 136), the second paragraph of the Swashbuckler rogue’s Rakish Audacity feature description reads: In addition, you don’t need advantage on your attack roll to use your Sneak Attack if no creature other than your target is within 5 feet of you.
Can you use advantage to negate disadvantage in sneak attack?
That being said, there are probably other things that require advantage/disadvantage to be activated, so answers should focus on the relationship between advantage and disadvantage, and not on Sneak Attack necessarily. Yes, advantage would negate disadvantage for purposes of Sneak Attack.
