Hi,

I got a question:

If one hit a creature with sneak attack, which is protected by an epic spell with the seed Reflect and "reflect melee attacks", is the reflected attack also a sneak attack?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk

It all seems weird - presumably you a) didn't know the attack was coming - so it should be a sneak attack, and b) the spell can't accurately target your vital areas, so you shouldn't have one.

As I understand it, you resolve the attack normally as if you were attacking yourself. You won't be flat-footed, but you could be flanked and get sneak attacked that way. You have to hit your own AC, and the results are applied as you are - so no holy damage if you are good, no favored enemy bonus unless you are the favored enemy type, etc.
