Note this is not a successful attack just the act of attacking – e.g., making the very first attack out of a series.Anytime a rogue can get his opponent flanked or denied his Dex bonus to AC he gets the benefits of sneak attack.  This can work if the rogue is feinting in combat (i.e., using the Bluff skill as well).During a surprise round a character can only make a standard action.  He can not make more than one attack since this is a full round action (i.e., full attack).Notice also the issue with uncanny dodge ability which prevents a character from losing his Dex bonus to AC when flatfooted. (but only when flat footed if I read it correctly).</blockquote>
