Spit Venom and Sneak Attack


Rules Questions


Hello,

Is it possible to make sneak attack with a spit venom ?

Is it possible to make slashing or percing damage with a spit venom ?

Is it possible to replace the bleed damage from Hemorhaging Venom, the acid damage from Virulent venom by an other effect ? nonlethal damage or other similar effect ?

Thanks for your future help.

As long as your venom deals hit point damage, and you are otherwise in a position to deal sneak attack damage, I believe so.

I don't know of any character options that will do this. The closest thing I could find off-hand is the Agonizing Obedience feat, which I think will let you declare your venom spits as "agony strikes" and add effects to them.

it is "replace", not "add" for my question.

Yes

I think there is a feat to change damage type, but I am not sure. I might be thinking of a monk effect.

With an Amulet of Mighty Fists you can definitely add effects. One might be the Merciful effect to allow the bleed to be non-lethal.

The feat that allows you to cast a fireball as an iceball could be applied to the spell that gives you the special attack. If so, then you can replace stuff.

...Yes. If you have to roll to hit yes. Ray attacks can do sneak attack damage as well. So if you play unchained rogue, with acid splash minor magic have fun :-) All usual range penalties apply of course. I RPd a grippli with such a build who would "spit" acid on enemies.
