Maximized Spell and Sneak Attack

[Nipin]

Is the sneak attack dmg of a maximized spell also maximized?

[blackbloodtroll]

Separate things. So, no.

[Nipin]

Then I suppose you would feel that the sneak attack does not get included in the calculation for empowered dmg?

[wraithstrike]

No sneak attack is not empowered.

Arguably it is.

If you sneak attack with a spell that has a save for half-damage, does the sneak attack damage get halved?

If so, then empowered and maximize should also apply.

Whichever way is ruled it should be consistent with the other.
