Robe of needles and sneak attack

Robe of Needles:

Aura faint evocation; CL 5th
Slot body; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 4 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This dark, hooded robe has six long, silvery, razor-sharp needles protruding from the bottom of its loose sleeves, three on each side.

The wearer can launch one needle as a ranged touch attack. The needle counts as a thrown weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. If the needle hits, it embeds itself in the target’s flesh, dealing 1 point of piercing damage and 1 point of bleed damage. A creature can pull out the needle as a full-round action, which ends the bleed effect. The needle is destroyed if an attack with it misses or when it is removed from a creature it was embedded in. The robe regrows all spent needles each morning.

Could one apply sneak attack damage to the needles?


i don't see why not. The attack doesn't need to be melee. The attack does have to occur when sneak attack would apply though.(denied dex)

It counts as a thrown weapon attack so it fulfills sneak attack rules, if enemy denied dex or flat footed it can be a snbeak attack.

It would deal 1 + Xd6 damage.
