Dirty Fighting and the Rogue

[Mergandevin]

First of all, I would like to say that I appreciate the work done on rogue and the dirty fighting rework.

While I think the feat was meant to be a cookie for rogue mainly, in my opinion it currently synergizes better with something other than rogue (div, barb, bard, swash), or at most a part-time rogue, due to the skill requirements for it to actually function. Classes that already invest heavily into a social skill, or have a decent CHA seem to benefit more by taking the feat. Coincidentally, most of those are also high BAB classes with better chances to land DF.

To me, the usage of skills also doesn't make a lot of sense thematically (eg using SoH for a headbutt, taunt for a low blow etc).

What would make sense, is if the dc scaled with the number of sneak attack dice instead of skills. Or the higher of SA dice or skill/6.

Anyway, my thoughts.
