Notes

Requires Shadow of Undrentide.
The Improved Sneak Attack epic feat is currently bugged as of 1.66 because the additional damage is not applied unless you have at least one rogue sneak attack feat or one blackguard sneak attack feat. So assassins may take the feat but without at least one rogue level or four blackguard levels it's useless.
