Hey everyone, if I have the rules right then I just spotted a rather nifty combo: the Rogue archetype "Scout" has this class feature:

Skirmisher (Ex)

At 8th level, whenever a scout moves more than 10 feet in a round and makes an attack action, the attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target was flat-footed. If the scout makes more than one attack this turn, this ability only applies to the first attack. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.

This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.

And the Shot on the Run feat is described as follows:

Shot on the Run (Combat)

You can move, fire a ranged weapon, and move again before your foes can react.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Point-Blank Shot, base attack bonus +4.

Benefit: As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single ranged attack at any point during your movement.

Normal: You cannot move before and after an attack with a ranged weapon.

Would this combination effectively allow a ranged rogue to do sneak attack damage on every attack by using SOTR while attacking?

Couple things.
1. You don't even need Shot on the Run for Skirmisher to work. You just have Move and then Attack.

2. You still only get guaranteed Sneak damage ONCE per round, regardless of if you find ways to get more attacks.

To answer your question, Yes you can. It's still not very good.

Yeah, but don't bother.
