Newb question...
A rogue with multiple attacks or two-weapon fighting - is there a limit to how often he can sneak attack in a round (assuming he is eligible with the target being flat-footed or flanking or otherwise denied its Dexterity to AC), or, could each of his attacks in the round get sneak attack damage? If there is a limit, please cite RAW for me. Thanks.
No limit. Pile it on.
The only trick is finding ways to get into range against an eligible target and then unload a full attack with zillions of sneak attacks - if you can pull off the trick, then every attack you make is a sneak attack.
There is no limit. The ability states 'whenever' and there is no mention of a limit.
Here's a developer implying/saying there isn't a limit of once per round.
Flank and full-attack, baby.
This is why two-weapon fighting is so popular among rogues; else you'd see far more of them carrying mithral shields (don't need proficiency when there's no penalty!)

-4 penalty to attack rolls for not being proficient.

The only limitation that I'm aware of is if the target is denied Dex due to attacking from Stealth. In that scenario, he is no longer denied Dex after the first attack. Have to locate the citation, but otherwise, yes. If he's flanked, all sneak attacks. If he's flat-footed, SA away. If he's tied up or pinned, well, at that point you want to coup-de-sneak-attack. :)
It's one of the reasons I made a Tengu Rogue =)It wouldn't have anything to do with the swordmaster archetype would it? ;)
More to do with the beak attack I would think. One more sneak attack to pile on while flanking.
