[QUOTE="Illithidbix, post: 6806972, member: 12283"] Nothing in the rules seems to impede using both sneak attack and superiority dice at the same time, providing criteria for both sneak attack and the maneuver is met. So as far as I can tell: yes to 1) 2) 3) 1) I can't see any rules or guidelines that suggest you can't use two class features at once. Unless there is some other specified limiter. 2) Seems fine to me, and a good use of the maneuver. Of course you're still limited to one sneak attack on your turn despite having multiple attacks, but if you haven't met the sneak attack criteria on your first hit but do on your second, then I don't see anything stopping you. 3) is curious because as you correctly indicate sneak attack can only be used once per turn, but if you get an attack outside your turn that meets the sneak attack criteria then it seems you can have a second sneak attack in a round. Otherwise it would be phrased "When you take the attack action..." or similar, which can only happen on your turn. And yes: ALL DAMAGE DICE! including sneak attack and superiority dice (and paladin smites) are rolled twice when you get a critical hit. Mike Mearl's tweets (which aren't actually offical but close enough for most people) have confirmed this. [/QUOTE]
