Sneak Attack from multiple sources and class ability interaction.

[ranmyaku262]

I was curious how sneak attack specifically worked with class abilities that modify it.

For example the sniper archetype for slayer if the target is "completely unaware" you ignore the 30ft range restriction on your sneak attack.

So two questions.

1. If i dip for that, then put the rest of the levels in rogue/ninja/ect.. to gain sneak attack would those also benefit from this ability? I ask as i know the sources stack, but i wasn't certain if it still specified sources (aka only dice from slayer would interact with it). I assumed it would work as it doesn't specify, but I wanted to be certain.

2. Not entirely related to the original question, but is "completely unaware" only if you attack them before the spot you, or does the sniping rule/being invisible/ect... allow you to stay within that condition after the first attack. Or are they aware of your presence at that point, just not your location?

1. Yes, the ability affects all sneak attack damage.

2. They are aware your presence after the attack, even if they can't locate you. So sniping/improved invisibility won't help activate the ability again.

they do not stack, the bonus from the slayer do not go to the sneak attack of the rogue, the rogue and slayer sneak attack do not say it stack with other class so consider both of their sneak attack as another pool of sneak attack, like when you take extra channel it must go to one class that have channel energy not both, assassin's sneak attack would function with any class that alter sneak attack since it say its sneak attack stack with other class that grant sneak attack

1. I believe Mr. Thrane is correct. Sneak attack is sneak attack; just as class abilities that say "spells you cast" apply to spells you cast from other classes unless otherwise specified, sneak attack from other classes should be similarly affected by your archetype ability.

2. I suppose you could continue to invisibly stalk your opponent until they convince themselves you have left.
