Bit of confusion I've seen at a table and online, but can you use Vital Strike with Overwatch style? Implications seem to be that you can, but people are saying that since it lets you "Ready two attacks" and not specifically "Attack Actions" you can't use Vital Strike with it.

Nowhere does it say Sneak Attack requires an attack roll, so people insisting it does need to cite something if they want me to buy that.

Now, can Precision Damage be applied to an AoE spell? That is a separate question. RAW is a little murky since it doesn't say outright, but the language "must be able to pick out a weakspot to attack" seems to mean RAI the answer is No.

The level 10 Arcane Trickster feature Surprise Spells allows you to deal sneak attack damage with ANY spell that deals damage. With the associated FAQ specifically calling out Fireball and Magic Missle. AoE and Single Target spells that don't make attack rolls.

Since there are specific call-outs to Melee and Ranged touch attack spells adding sneak attack damage and a precedent for AoE and Single Target non-attack roll spells requiring Surprise Spells to deal sneak attack damage that only Spells that make attack rolls qualify for sneak attack damage.

How do you take the "primary" into account? you seem to just ignore it

A "Primary" natural attack is just a natural attack made at full BAB with 1x strength. 1.5x strength if it's your only natural attack.

"Secondary" natural attacks are made at full BAB -5 and only add .5 strength to damage.

If you only have 1 natural attack then it becomes "Primary" even if it says it's a "Secondary" natural attack and adds 1.5x strength to damage.

If you combine a natural attack with an attack from a weapon then the natural attack becomes a "Secondary" natural attack. No matter what it's description says it is.

No, Normally when climbing something you move at 1/4th speed, but you can move at 1/2 speed by taking a -5 penalty to the climb check. You also normally can move 5 feet by crawling while prone.

Monkey Moves just lets you climb at 1/2 speed without penalty and crawl at 1/2 speed instead of just 5 feet while prone.
