I'm considering a character, Mostly Rogue with an early dip into sorcerer, built around Chill Touch and Claws from either Abyssal or Draconic Bloodline.
My question is this.
Say I've got Charges of Chill Touch, and I've got my Claws going, and I'm Flanking.
I hit with an attack, I do 1d4 (slashing?) damage from the claws (plus stats), 1d6 Negative energy damage from Chill touch.
Claws deal Bludgeoning and Slashing Damage. You are correct that you would also deal the Chill Touch Damage.
Sneak Attack only triggers once from this attack, correct? I don't get to go "Sneak Attack Claws plus Sneak Attack Chill Touch" for absurd damage levels.
You don't deal Sneak Attack damage for the Chill touch charge because you aren attacking with your Claw rather than Chill Touch. That charge is merely being delivered by the Claw attack. That's why you are rolling 'to hit' for a normal attack rather than a touch attack.
Do I get to decided what type of damage the Sneak attack deals?
I.E. if I hit something that's immune to negative energy can I say "The sneak attack damage is Claws."
Similarly if I hit something that is particularly vulnerable to Negative Energy, can I say "Sneak Attack is Chill Tough negative energy damage."
I think that Sneak Attack damage is the same as that for the attack, so in this case it would be B/S.
Additionally, is there a list somewhere of touch attack spells, particularly multi-charge spells like Chill Touch?
There probably is, but by far the most commonly used ones are Shocking Grasp, Frostbite, and Chill Touch.
