Yeah! I know they had something wicked cool in mind for it, but even if it does turn out to be badass, it still basically changes the functionality of the sneak ability into a crippled opportunist, which sounds bad, but is it?
I think it shoul dcome with a penalty of some kind...
Like sneak still hits whoever is in front of him, but they take damage or do less damage because HE SHOULD BE WARNING OR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NOT BEING SEEN!!!
