	Notes on Blinding Strike: This functions as a button you press with a 45 second cooldown. It applies the Blind on-hit effect to your equipped weapon. You can only fire one on-hit effect at a time so using this simultaneously with something that works similarly (Like Expose Weakness) means that in the first attack flurry, one will fire, and the other will fire in the second. Pressing the button breaks stealth so make sure you apply it to your weapon before hiding. You can pre-load it onto a weapon and it will persist. You can then use it again immediately once the first use is consumed. Doing this will stop your attack flurry however, so it is usually not worth doing. This feat can be taken as a fighter bonus feat and does not require rogue levels to do so but it will have an abysmal DC due to the reliance of the DC on rogue levels and sneak dice.

			A standard popular rogue build of 19 rogue/8 assassin/3 bodyguard will end up with a DC of 10 + 3 (from rogue levels, rounded down) + 6 (from character levels) + 17 (from sneak dice) = 36.
