You’ve learned to exploit your enemies’ openings. Your Sneak attack damage ignores any immunity or resistance the target has to precision damage. In addition, when you Sneak, you can designate one creature you’re undetected by at the end of that action.

This has no benefit if your next attack against the creature doesn’t deal Sneak attack damage, and if you designate a new creature you lose the benefit on any previous one.
