Can Mystic Bolts Launch A Covert Assault?

The text discusses the use of Mystic Bolts instead of the Warlock archetype in combat. It suggests that level 5 vigilante and go rogue/slayer can be used to add sneak attacks to touch attacks, with the Slayer providing better BaB and studied target giving more damage. The benefits of using Mystic Bolts include dealing additional damage when attacking with mystic bolts equal to half of your Intelligence modifier (minimum +1), and applying the Deadly Aim, Piranha.

Sneak attack damage per bolt is 5d6+1 (+1 PBS) for a possible 30d6+12 per round in ideal circumstances. Warlocks can also be a good entry point into the game. To increase the damage of Mystic Bolts, players should pick up some sneak attack skills, such as VMC rogue or cavalier with that one order, and sense vitals spell.

The text also discusses the use of Sneak Attack by sorcerers/rogues with spells that require attack rolls. Rogues are the only class that can use Sneak Attack, and if playing another class, a level in rogue is required to access this primary skill. Warlocks can wield their Mystic Bolts, which can be used for two-weapon fighting.

The text also discusses the limitations of Mystic’s Disciplines for the purpose of Sneak Attack and Assassinate ability, as they cannot deal precision-based damage. However, the text also notes that Sneak Attack requires a finesse or ranged weapon, and once per turn, players can deal additional damage.
