Sneak Attack and Scorching Ray?

[Nimoot]

A friend has said you can use Scorching Ray and Sneak attack on a Rogue/Sorcerer, so you'd be able to use Scorching Ray, the target is denied their Dex bonus, so you add your precision dice to the attack?

That just sounds broken... Thoughts?

[Jeff Merola]

Only one of the rays gets the dice, which you pick before you roll the attacks.

It requires multiclassing, so it's not that bad. You can only have so many Sneak Attack dice balanced against so much magic.

I think I'll have a rough time telling him "you only get sneak attack dice on One of the rays and before you roll to see if it hits"

Show him in black and white.

Worth noting that Scorching Ray does not deny the target their Dexterity bonus on its own. It's rolled against Touch, which explicitly includes the Dex mod.

Ah, ^ that'd do it! Thanks!
