Apprentice Sneak Attack always applies?

[Torm51]

Is that a bug?  When Eder swings at me out of combat (was testing some DR stuff) he always gets the Sneak Attack bonus.  I am out of combat so no status effects are on me and he isnt behind me so I am not flanked.  Is this intended? If so is Apprentice sneak attack better then the rogue counterpart? As rogue sneak attacks need the debuffs to apply.

Did you check in actual combat? Because Sneak Attack/Apprentice's Sneak Attack is also applied in the first 2 secs of combat no matter the afflictions. Kind of a "surprise-surprise-ambush!" thing. So might be that in a tavern test this 2-seconds rule always applies.
