Underhanded Maneuvers vs Attack of Opportunity

[talmerian]

I am playing a Half-Orc Rogue Skulking Slayer. The archetype has the Extraordinary Ability - Underhanded Maneuvers which states:

At 1st level, when she could normally make a sneak attack, a slayer may instead make a dirty trick or steal combat maneuver with a bonus on her roll. This bonus is equal to her number of sneak attack dice for a dirty trick combat maneuver, or 1-1/2 × her number of sneak attack dice for a steal combat maneuver.

Since this is a sneak attack, does the target of the maneuver get an attack of opportunity on me as I perform the steal or dirty trick?

Yes it would get an attack of opportunity unless:

The creature was flat-footed

OR

You have Improved Steal/Dirty Trick or some other class feature that lets you make those maneuvers without provoking.

One interesting thing about this ability is that once you get multiple attacks and if you're flanking you'll be able to replace any or all of those attacks with Steal or Dirty Tricks attempts. You essentially get the Quick Steal/Dirty Trick feats with that ability... I never realized that as I always just kind of glossed over Underhanded Maneuvers.
