I searched to see if this had come up with anybody yet, but it seems that it hasn't been asked yet.
How does strangle from the Brawler (Strangler archetype) work with other sources of sneak attack damage?
Let's say we had a Brawler 2/1 Rogue with the strangler and snakebite striker archetypes. When he chooses to inflict damage during the grapple, will he deal 2d6 or 4d6 damage (assume that sneak attack would not be applied if the strangler ability doesn't come into play). How does the Strangle feat work with this?
My guess is that the way that this works is that a grapple is initiated. Next round the grapple is maintained and the option is to deal damage. So the damage would be 1d3+2d6 and then the feat adds 2d6 as a swift action.
What happens if I pin the creature? Would I pin and deal 2d6? Would the next round I deal 1d3+4d6 if I chose to deal damage?
