Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Sneak attack malfunctioning

So I have noticed that sneak attack is very hit or miss on how it works. About half the time I do not have to hide first if I am out of sight, the other half, I have to hide first. Further, sometimes I cannot get off a sneak attack (even when in sneak mode), even though there is no line of sight showing where I am standing, and other times I can get off a sneak attack when I am standing in line of sight.

I know sneak attack was recently modified, so I imagine it just hasn't be ironed out yet, but I'd love to see more consistency for it.

The point here is to have advantage ... if you dont, you have to hide > therefore you have it > therefore you can sneak attack.
If you allready have it (and there is many sources to list) you dont have to hide, since conditions are fullfiled.
(//Edit: Seems like i was only partialy right ... so, just read the topic before i confuse you. )

There is another threat about Sneak Attack ... i redomend to read:

I just use your threat, hope you dont mind ...
Either Sneak attack have bugged damage, or its tooltip isnt updating ...

Acording to 5e rules it looks more like tooltip isnt updating.
Since on level 4 Sneak attack should give 2d6 bonus damage (wich it does) ... but tooltip still says "+1d6".

Probably tooltips are bugged. I see the same issues with Weapon Master's skills.
