Minotaurs and Scout's Charge


Rules Questions


Scout's Archetype:

Scout's Charge (Ex): At 4th level, whenever a scout makes a charge, her attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target were flat-footed. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability. This ability replaces uncanny dodge..

Minotaur Special Abilities:

PRD wrote:
Natural Cunning (Ex) Although minotaurs are not especially intelligent, they possess innate cunning and logical ability. This gives them immunity to maze spells and prevents them from ever becoming lost. Further, they are never caught flat-footed.

My question is:

A rogue with this ability (Scout's Charge) can apply a sneak attack after a charge on a minotaur?

Yes. Notice that the scout's charge does not actually apply the flat-footed condition to the target, it just "deals sneak attack damage as if [they] were flat-footed." Thus, it gets around the minotaur's immunity to the flat-footed condition.
