Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Sneak Attack Broken?

Everytime I attack with my Rogue using the ranged or melee Sneak Attack, it never rolls Sneak Attack Damage. I'm level 4 so it should be doing an extra 2d6 on one of my attacks. Doesn't matter if I have another companion threatening the same enemy, no Sneak Attack. Attack from stealth and surprise the enemy to start combat, no Sneak Attack. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm assuming you are actually using the sneak attack button you get (why that's a helpful addition is beyond me. The game should be smart enough to just add it or not depending on the context imho). In which case I would say its not always clear to me when it works versus not. The combat log is, let's say, rudimentary at best for a DnD game. But that said, I don't think I've had this problem.

I originally had noticed that sneak attack doesn't apply when you have a companion beside the target but it does apply when you have advantage.

My 2 cents on how to improve the sneak attack thing would be making it a button like the reaction attack when you can enable/disable it being automatically applied.

Clicking the sneak attack icon doesn't guarantee a sneak attack unless the preconditions for it are satisfied. Not all of the conditions for sneak attack from 5e are represented in the game (yet?). It will become clear what works and what doesn't as you play. Just be patient, this is only EA, not everything works perfectly.
