Alchemist bomb + Rogue Scout question


Rules Questions


Now lets say you have a 8th level Rogue Scout 1st level Alchemist.

8th level rogue gets skirmish

Skirmisher (Ex)

At 8th level, whenever a scout moves more than 10 feet in a round and makes an attack action, the attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target was flat-footed. If the scout makes more than one attack this turn, this ability only applies to the first attack. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.
This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.

1st level Alchemist gets bombs.
The character moves 10ft throws a bomb and hits 1d6 + sneak attack die as per skirmish. The bomb does splash damage to adjacent enemies, would they effected by the skirmish ability and also receive the sneak attack damage as well?


You can't apply sneak attack to splash weapons.

Throw Splash Weapon

A splash weapon is a ranged weapon that breaks on impact, splashing or scattering its contents over its target and nearby creatures or objects. To attack with a splash weapon, make a ranged touch attack against the target. Thrown splash weapons require no weapon proficiency, so you don't take the –4 nonproficiency penalty. A hit deals direct hit damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the target. If the target is Large or larger, you choose one of its squares and the splash damage affects creatures within 5 feet of that square. Splash weapons cannot deal precision-based damage (such as sneak attack).
