Sneak Attack Question

DRUS

First Post
I need clarification on a point about sneak attacks using ranged weapons. Does a rogue using a bow get a sneak attack on an opponent who is flanked by two of the rogues allies and is within 30 ft.

As everybody seems to be saying that the rogue gets sneak attacks when the opponent is denied dex bonus to AC or when THE rogue flanks the target.

Well in a ranged attack THE rogue does not flank the opponent but his allies do.

Any ideas.

He does not get a sneak attack in this situation.

Only the two people flanking get the flanking bonus, and you can't flank with a ranged weapon anyway.

Edited for stupid mistake. :D

No. :D

Not unless the target also is denied his Dex bonus to AC.
