1)Does anybody knows about a prestige class where the charisma modifier is needes or used a lot?
Like the feat "divine might", but in this case for a prestige.

2)How often can i make a sneak attack in one round?
If i have 3 attacks could i attack 3 times with this special attack??

Thanks

PrCs using Turning also need Cha, since Cha affects turn power, and the number of turn attempts you can make. PrCs aimed at the Paladin, or having the Lay on Hands feature use Cha too, I believe.

The extra sneak attack damage only counts for your first attack. So you can make three attacks, but you only add the sneak attack damage to the first attack (if it hits).

01-07-05, 12:36 PM If you have multiple attacks, each attack can gain sneak attack damage - if it qualifies.

For example: If you're flanking an opponent, he is flanked for all 3 attacks, therefore you get sneak damage on all 3 attacks.

The situation that MetalGemini describes is more from a situation such as ManyShot .. were you make multiple "hits" with only 1 "attack" ... in those cases, yes, sneak only applies to the first ...
(shuriken also come to mind ... only the first gets sneak damage)

.. but multiple attacks from iteratives, off-hand attacks, natural attacks, etc ... yes, each gets sneak - if it qualifies .. and each attack must qualify by itself.
