1. Is it possible to sneak attack more than once/round if my enemy is flat footed or is there a limit of only once/round.
2. Is it possible to use the feat arcane strike while in an antimagic field?
3. If I have 1 level monk and then decides to advance a cleric and I have 4 ranks in spot (class skill for monk, cross class for cleric), can I advance my spot for 1 rank, 2 ranks or can't I advance it at all when I level my cleric level?
4. In complete arcane in the warlock class description there is a mention that he gets a number of invocations. Can he use these invocations as many times as he like or is there a limit? Being able to use an infinite amount of spells seems broken to me.

Sneak attack bonus damage is applied to any attack that can be made while the opponent is denied their dexterity bonus to AC (if any), or while they are flanked.3. If I have 1 level monk and then decides to advance a cleric and I have 4 ranks in spot (class skill for monk, cross class for cleric), can I advance my spot for 1 rank, 2 ranks or can't I advance it at all when I level my cleric level?The maximum rank is 5. If a skill is a class skill for any class you have a level in the maximum rank is 3+character level. If a skill is a cross class skill for all classes you have levels in, the maximum rank is half of that.

The cost of 1 rank is 2 skill points. It is cross-class for the class in which you are advancing at the moment of purchase.4. In complete arcane in the warlock class description there is a mention that he gets a number of invocations. Can he use these invocations as many times as he like or is there a limit? Being able to use an infinite amount of spells seems broken to me.There is no limit on the number of uses a day. Invocations (and elderich blast) are at will special abilities. The limitation is that you gain less variety than a standard spellcaster, and your damage per round is lower.

You don't have heavy calibre weaponry that can be turned to any purpose, but you have unlimited ammo.
