We have been playing that the Uncanny Dodge eliminates the Rogues ability to sneak attack in a flat-footed situation. Is this correct?
Looking at the Uncanny Dodge text it does not specifically call out this cancellation, but it does specifically call out that at a higher level that the character can't be flanked and this specifically eliminates flanking sneak attacks (unless the attacker is four levels higher).
The confusing part is the text in the Sneak Attack which reads "Basically, when the target is denied their dexterity AC bonus, they can be sneak attacked". The problem word is "basically" which implies that this has exceptions.
Is it true that Regardless of the "type" of attack, the Uncanny Dodge always allows the character to retain dexterity based AC bonuses?
What about sneack attacks the first round of battle against a character with Uncanny Dodge who is flat-footed?
