[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 1147104, member: 1622"] Surprise rounds can only be at the beginning of combat, not in the middle of combat. Note the line "a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin". Once you're in combat, there's no such thing as surprise. Second, since during a surprise round you can only do a standard action, you can't do iterative attacks anyway, so the point is moot. Winternight - that text only applies if the condition that allows you to sneak attack still exists after the first attack. Improved/Greater Invisibility? Sure, get your iterative sneak attacks.... same with flanking. However, regular invisibility and the Hide skill explicitly say that after the first attack, you become visible. Since you are no longer hidden/invisible, you do not qualify for sneak attack, thus the rest of your iterative attacks are not sneak attacks. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
