Notably, the Rogue’s does not say it stacks, which is fine as long as all your other sources say they do (and, to my knowledge, the only other cases that don’t automatically stack are the Swordsage’s Assassin’s Stance, which has somewhat weird rules, and the Factotum’s Cunning Strike, which simply doesn’t mention stacking). | |

quoting the errata rule

I was expecting answers in days not minutes. This will add and expand my outlook on rogues a bit. For Example Prestige Class Aerialist gets a sneak attack +1d6 at first level and 1d6 every 2 levels following. But if you look at the table you might be led to believe that your Sneak attack resets, or adds to your previous. And this was the thought process that pushed the discussion of stacking Sneak Attacks damage. this is often termed “text-trumps-table.” Will be thrown at someone | |
