Rogue, sneak attack and shuriken

[Hazze]

Hi!

I am wondering how You do with this combo.

Shurikens let you throw 3 stars that do 1 point of damage each.
If the rogue have a sneak opportunity, does he get the sneak attack damage bonus on all three hits (lets say he does hit with all three)?

No

Sage advice says no. Shuriken are very crappy as long as you don't use poison. And sneak attack only applies to the first one. Funnily, if you use rapid shot or multiple attacks to throw more, you can have more sneak attacks.... Well. Don't ask for the logic, shuriken have not been thought through obviously.

Clarification

If you throw more than one shuriken as a single attack, only the first that actually hits will do sneak attack damage.

Remember if you have more than one target with a single attack, you must assign the targets before rolling attack rolls.

Throwing three shuriken is a great way to ensure a sneak attack against a high AC target, in that you get three chances.
