How many Sneak attacks?

[L0rd_Dark0n]

Ok, time for that age old question again, how many melee sneak attacks can a rogue get in a round? If he and a companion are flanking an enemy, does the rogue get as many sneak attacks per round as said rogue has attacks? For instance, a level 8 rogue gets 2 attacks per round, does that mean that when flanking a target, both attacks are sneak attacks? Let me know if I need to elaborate. Thank you.

For every attack that meets the requirements, the rogue gets a sneak attack. As the initial attack does not invalidate the flanking, the subsequent attacks are sneak attacks as well. The only time that this is not the case is in the event of a 'volley' attack (manyshot, for example).

All of your attacks that meet the requisites of a Sneak Attack can be Sneak Attacks.

Yes, 2, every flanking melee attack is a sneak attack unless otherwise specified (as with the uncanny dodge ability)

Any and all attacks made against an opponent that qualify as sneak attacks - i.e., against an opponent denied it's Dex bonus or flanked - are Sneak Attacks.

We were Hiding in Shadows... although I think that's old school

Pshaw!

*I* was Hiding in Plain Sight!

But "I" get a ton of sneak attack fancy boy.
(i wish these two things could be together-a ton of sneak+hide in plain sight).
