Underhanded


Rules Questions


Here is the Talent:

Underhanded:
Benefit: A rogue with this talent gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all Sleight of Hand checks made to conceal a weapon. Furthermore, if she makes a sneak attack during the surprise round using a concealed weapon that her opponent didn’t know about, she does not have to roll sneak attack damage, and the sneak attack deals maximum damage. A rogue can only use the underhanded talent a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 0).

Here is the question:
Does this apply to the entire attack, or just to the SA portion?


A surprise round limits you to either a standard action or a move action (plus free actions), so you wont be getting more than one attack anyway :-)

I read it as just SA is maxed, the weapon damage would be rolled normally.


just the sneak attack damage.


Thank you all.
