Sneak Attack? How Do?
Hey, quick question, but how do you add the "Sneak Attack" damage automatically to an attack with a Rogue? My GM and I can't seem to figure it out, and there seem to be no tutorials online to help us.

Hi ElzbethE
Before you roll damage apply an Effect to yourself that looks like this:
DMG: 2d6; [ROLL]; [SELF]
that lasts/expires On Next Roll

And how does one do that? We've tried creating a spell, but all it does is hurt the Rogue in question.

Go to Actions on Charsheet
Bottom Right - Edit - Add Power
Call it Sneak Attack and stop editing
Right click on it and choose Add Action - Add Effect
Click Magnifying glass
Desc: DMG 2d6
Targeting: Self
Expend: On Next Roll
When its time to use this - before you roll damage click the Effect Button on this power and it will apply for the next damage roll.

You could also put an effect on the Rogue in the Combat Tracker as follows: IFT: flat-footed; DMG: 1d6 precision and keep this on when using a sneak attack appropriate weapon.
This relies on the FG conditions that count as flat-footed (flat-footed, confused, grabbed, paralyzed, prone, restrained and unconscious) being applied to the target before rolling damage.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

So, is there an way that's better? Or one that works for PF2?

1) Do what I mentioned, PF2 has been specifically designed to recognise the conditions I listed as flat-footed. Apply that effect to your PC in the combat tracker. Then make sure conditions are tracked accurately. If you don't want to use the PF2 automation then do one of the other two options below.
2) Do what damned mentioned (but add the "precision" damage type.
3) Create another weapon in your actions tab with the additional damage and use that to roll damage when you need to.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Thanks Trenloe.
Our group was basically doing it Damned's way (funny sentence) but I will let them know of this way as well.
Once again thanks for all the great support you provide.
