AoO and sneak attack


Rules Questions


quick question that came up last night:

If you provoke an attack of opportunity from a rogue that is flanking you, can the rogue do sneak attack damage, or just the normal weapon damage?


It says they do, right in the rogue description in the CRB:

So yes, flanking rogues are bad juju for their opponents.

Edit: The attack being an AoO doesn't mean anything. Sneak attack still applies if it's conditions are met (which they are).

Sneak Attack damage. Any attack that fits the conditions triggers the extra damage
