What happens if you use bonus damage die like sneak attack with blunt arrows. Is the bonus damage die non-leathal, or can you use bonus damage dies with the blunt arrows?

Do blunt arrows exist? If they do, and if they deal non-lethal or subdual damage, than I'd say that you could concievably us your sneak attack in a non-lethal way, similar as a rogue using a sap.

Just curious, where did you find these blunt arrows?

I see no problem using Sneak Attack on blunt arrows if you can use it with a Sap.

It would deal nonlethal.

Sneak attack damage is always the same type as the base damage of the attack (including energy attacks that have an attack roll to hit).
