[QUOTE="Aestolia, post: 3950582, member: 58054"] When making a touch attack with a spell you are not counted as unarmed, sneak attack functions just as it does any other time. If they're denied their Dex bonus to AC or you're flanking, you get the sneak dice on top of your spell. If it was a ranged touch attack, they have to be within 30' in order for you to get the sneak dice. When dealing a touch attack you don't add in your unarmed damage. You can Choose to make a touch attack with an unarmed attack if you wish, but you would have to beat their normal AC for the spell (and sneak attack) to take effect. If you were to make an unarmed strike to deliver a touch spell and you did not have Imp unarmed strike, they would get an attack of opportunity, you would have to beat their normal AC, in this case since you're making the [b]attack[/b] with an unarmed strike that deals non lethal damage, the sneak dice would also be non-lethal damage, spell would go off as normal.
