Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Sneak Attack once again. :D And hopefully for the last time ...

I think the Sneak Attack can only land once on your attack turn. So if you are dual wielding and it's a situation where it counts as a Sneak Attack - if both hits land only the main one will add sneak attack damage. But if the mainhand misses and the offhand hits it will add Sneak Attack damage. I highly recommend using it as a reaction as opposed to using the active sneak attack ability, and also setting it so you manually control the offhand swing instead of it auto occurring.
