Does the underlined text in assassin rogue feature trigger Rapid Strike? provided you are high enough in intiative and after the first round of combat.
"Starting at 3rd level, you are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit."
no problem... why do you have to use Rapid Strike after the first round of combat?
Rapid Strike
Starting at 15th level, you learn to trade accuracy for swift strikes. If you take the Attack action on your turn and have advantage on an attack roll against one of the targets, you can forgo the advantage for that roll to make an additional weapon attack against that target, as part of the same action. You can do so no more than once per turn.
should work on the first round, but you can still only do 1 sneak attack per round... all other stuff looks like it applies
hope this helps
I'm thinking more along the lines of procing rapid strike without expending fighting spirit, arleast Darkness should work.
a barbarian that uses reckless attack makes all attacks with advantage... I wonder if they use rapid strike to forego advantage and get more attacks, do all those attacks have advantage due to reckless?

Emphasis mine, "that" being singular referring only to the triggering attack, not the additional attack. Nothing states the additional attack cannot have advantage.
I guess it's called rapid strike, not rapid strikes.

thank you for clarifying it.

I was thinking about that as well.

if I edit a message, most of the time it's because of grammar. The rest of the time I'll put "Edit:" at the bottom.
