[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 2314008, member: 16285"] But now they aren't spell attacks as referred to in the original post but melee ones (a touch attack per se) so the normal rules of melee attacks apply. And of course the character must be doing a full attack in the round in which he executes his touch attack. Now I'm confused as to when this could apply since pretty much the spell has to already have been metamagiced in order to get there (twin spell or split ray). Sneak attacks can't be applied to magic missile (no attack roll). Maybe you could point out to me a spell with multiple attacks (rays or such, other than magic missile) - don't know of any off hand, but with the constant number of spells being added on an almost daily basis. . . Nevermind - I just looked up scorching ray (in first post) 1 ray plus 1 additional for every 4 levels above 3 (max of 3 at 11th). Now I haven't seen anything that specifically ties making a full attack to using sneak attacks for more than one attack in a round. There is for volley attacks and normally a character can't make more than one attack a round without using a full attack. But this spell specifically allows otherwise (up to 3 attacks at up to 3 different opponents). But they are made simultaneously - interesting use of the word here since it is not normally used. Need to do some more research on ths one but off the cuff I can't see a reason to say a rogue couldn't apply sneak attack damage to each attack with the spell, at least not in the rules that I've found yet.
