Hi all

2 questions this time:

1) The sneak attack is something the rogue gets right (I mean, Tomi has it
and he's pure rogue AFAIU)? But do you get at Rogue level 1 or what? I was
just thinking that if you do get it right away as a rogue shouldn't all
fighter types take a rogue level to get it? Or am I missing something here?

2) What does the "Mighty" attribute on a bow do? It's something about adding
a str/dex bonus to your damage right? How does it work? (I've seen a
composite longbow with "Mighty +3" for sale in the docks district. Is it
worth 4000+ GP?).
TIA

You get it at level 1 but the damage goes up as you level. Until you put
some serious levels under it and have someone else to distract your
opponent(s) a good solid smack from a blade is *far* more effective.

Mighty allows you to add your strength bonus, up to the listed maximum
to the bow damage. The mighty +3 bow for instance, lets you add your
strength bonus, up to a maximum of three points to the bow damage.

I've played around with that, and now if I'm taking a fighter type, I always
take a couple of levels in rogue, just for that. Get some ranks in move
silently and hide, and you don't need someone to distract if you're lucky.
A good solid smack from a blade is even more effective, even if its only
+1d6 :). If you also have cleave, and you're lucky, you can down two
enemies before they even notice you :)
