I want to build a character who focuses on nonlethal damage as he won't kill anyone due to his backstory. Luckily, I stumpled across the feat "Bludgeoner" and am a bit puzzled about this wording:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/bludgeoner-combat
"Special: A rogue with this feat can use a lethal bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal damage with a sneak attack."
It says clearly that 'a rogue with this feat' can deal nonlethal damage with his sneak attacks. That is as obvious as it can get and still, I was wondering whether it has to be taken literally as usually only rogues get sneak attacks at all. So I was wondering whether this 'gimmick' would also apply for non-rogue classes which can get access to sneak-attacks.
If so, what about if I dip one level into rogue, could I apply the feat also on sneak-attacks I gained due another class, for example the Expanded spell-less ranger. I mean, it says 'a rouge with this feat' can 'deal nonlethal damage with A sneak attack' - not HIS sneak attack.
I know that is some hairsplitting but I puzzled how to interpret it.
