From invisibility: first one gets sneak attack, later ones in the turn do not since you no longer have invisibility. The moment you make the first attack roll, you lose invisibility. Thems the rules.
Cheapy,
Can you or anyone reading this PLEASE tell me where (book and page number) the official rules clearly state that?
I completely agree with your assessment, to me it is obvious that once a character makes its first attack the invisibility ends, removing the condition which made sneak attacks possible. But has Paizo stated this anywhere in the rulebooks?
Here's why I need this. I have this player in my current campaign. He's a great friend and a really talented GM but when he sits on the other side of the GM screen it's like lycanthropy sets in. This player is not going to let his his min-maxed ranged-attack ninja build suffer a 66% loss in sneak-damage without raising a huge stink. As he understands it:
vanishing trick + extra ki + rapid shot = 3 easy sneak attacks per round, 9 rounds per day
Showing him the rules clearly in ink would reduce the drama and wailing common to our rules disagreements.
Unfortunately despite reading everywhere this rule should be (or might be) I have failed to find concrete mention of sneak damage NOT applying to multiple attacks in a round from a character under the invisibility spell.
Help would be...well, helpful.
