Do you get to apply skirmish damage twice if you use bounding assault to attack two different enemies? My thoughts are that you wouldn't get it if you chose to attack the same enemy twice, but that you would if you attacked two separate enemies. I think I read that precision damage can only be applied once, but is that per enemy or is it only applied to your first attack or is it only applied to your first attack against an enemy?

I know I'm thinking real world, but I see it as my character flipping over two closely packed enemies and giving them each a slash as I complete the flip.

Ok, lay the bad news on me...

You can apply your skirmish damage as often as you are capable of attacking. Bounding assault gives you an extra attack, and therefore an extra chance to get skirmish damage.

Unless firing a spell that takes one standard action and has multiple attacks. Like scorching ray, which can have multiple rays, but only one ray can gain Sneak Attack.

BUT, Bounding Assault should allow both attacks to gain skirmish. They're different attacks made after you have moved at least 10 feet.
