If a barbarian uses a finesse weapon, has a higher Dex than Str, enters a rage and reckless attacks, with a Scimitar for 1d6+2 (STR stats) (+2 more for Rage Damage @Lvl 2/1) can they get sneak attack, as the attack is at advantage and using a finesse weapon?
Yes. You don't even have to have a higher Dexterity than Strength. You don't need to be using Dexterity for Sneak Attack to work, you just have to be using a Ranged or Finesse weapon.

Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

Thanks, I thought it might work. I'm just working on an off-meta build, mainly Dex focused with a high Con to have a pretty high AC, with just enough Str for Multiclass prerequisites.

Honestly, they should change that; especially since Barb has specific caveats about using STR for their stuff.
