Rouge sneak attack with any weapon

[athos]

Can a rogue/mage attack with an orb as a sneak attack in PF?

I always thought they could in 3.5, assuming the opponent was flat footed and they were within 30', but in PF under arcane trickster, it says you have to be a 10th level AT to do that?

Is this a change to PF, or did I miss something in 3.5?

You absolutely can in 3.5, that's for sure. Also, I'll note that technically the orb spells don't exist in PF.

But, in regards to the Arcane Trickster question. The Surprise Spells feature states that you get sneak attack on any spell that does hit point damage. Weapon-like spells are not the only ones that do hit point damage. This means you could also (somehow) sneak attack with a fireball or even Finger of Death, which PF made into purely a damage-dealing spell. So no, having that ability does not infer that PF rogues cannot sneak attack with spells requiring attack rolls, since it covers far far far more spells than that.

ROGUE.

A rouge sneak attack just makes your back red.

ROUGE refers to either any of various red cosmetics used when coloring cheeks or lips, a reddish powder used for polishing metal, or the French word for "red".

ROGUE is the word you were actually looking for, I think.

EDIT - LOL Ninja'd!

You two didn't read the first page, did you?

Is that a new class I missed?

Why in the world would I have read it?

Glass Cannon!!

By the end of that campaign, I'd multiclassed into fighter and cleric and wound up power attacking with a bastard sword, and being SHOCKED when the DM reminded me to roll Sneak Attack dice.

(bleep)er liked giving things that weren't oozes, elementals, plants, undead, or constructs +1 Heavy Fortification breastplates.

"You want to sneak attack... with a ballista???"

In our PF game last night we got dragged into participating in a no-holds barred wrestling competition, and the rogue went all WWF and sneak attacked one opposing wrestler with a chair!
