Does flurry of blows work with sneak attack damage?


Rules Questions


And why havent I thought of this before now?


Yup.

If you're using traditional stealth only the first attack will get sneak attack damage (after your first attack the enemy will know you're there and will not be flat-footed against you).

If you're flanking (or using some other way to attack flat footed on all attacks) then all of your attacks will get sneak attack damage.

As for why you haven't thought of this before ... you'll have to ask the GM ;D


It most certainly does. The type of attack is irrelevant to whether or not you get sneak attack. If your target is valid for any kind of precision damage, they take it.

Yeah, I was thinking with a flanking buddy


Then you're golden. That's gonna hurt your target like a punch in the nuts. In fact, if you have Quick Dirty Trick, you can blind them as your first attack and get your sneak attack on the rest withOUT flanking!
