Sneak attack, ranged flank, arrows


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Just wanted to make sure the group was using the rules correctly-

17 Rogue, with Many Shot, Flank Attack. Has flanked an enemy, from 25 ft.

Each shot (he would get 4 shots, with a total of 5 arrows potentially striking) would also include the 9d6 sneak attack bonus on top of the damage the arrow would do.

Correct?

For instance, if all attacks were successful, the total amount of damage would be 45d6 sneak attack damage...


First only one of the manyshot arrows gets sneak attack.

Second unless he has feat or ability that says otherwise you can't flank with a ranged weapon.

I know there is a 3rd party feat for this but nothing in the PF stuff that i know of.


Talonhawke is correct.


Big if with that 'if all attacks were successful' part -- and to reiterate nothing in pathfinder itself offers ranged flank attacks. The first part of flanking in the rules is melee.
