Rogue Sneak Attack Damage

Latency

First Post
First of all let me apologize if this has been asked and answer a million times. As the title suggests I have a question regarding the Rogue sneak attack ability. A Rogue with 2 attack's per round is in combat with the Bad guy and he is in flanking position with the fighter. Now my questions if the rogue does nothing but take his two attacks does he add the sneak attack damage to both attacks?

Thanks for the clarification :)

-edited for making a fool of myself - :)

Yes, this has been asked 2 million times (now 2 million and one). :D

Yes, you get to add your sneak attack damage on each attack that qualifies as a sneak attack.

Now queuing the people that think this makes the rogue too powerful followed by those that don't :)

Aarg, sneak attack counts for every individual attack that meets the prereqs for sneak attacking, matey! That includes ititerative attacks while flanking, you scurvy sea-dog!

Thanks Icebear that is what I thought but it is getting cold out there and I think my brain froze.

Again thanks for the help

I think giving any Rouge a sneak attack bonus makes facial makeup far too powerful.

Rogues, on the other hand, are a different story. :D

Sagiro...I think you know he meant that a rogue was sneak attacking with rouge; it obviously wasn't the rouge doing the attacking.

Now then. If a rogue sneak attacks with rouge, he might have a good chance of blinding his opponent. Targets who wear a lot of makeup might be granted a Reflex save.

As far as being too powerful, last game the two rogues in my party flanked an enemy, and both of them were sneak attacking. Now that was nasty. Lucky for my NPC villain they didn't have any rouge on them.

Well, if the ray of frost can't reach a vital spot then it can't do sneak attack damage. Don't forget that you can only do sneak attack damage as long as you can hit a vital spot.

That said, I think a ray of frost in the face or in the crotch (popsicles anyone :D) would do more damage :)
