This is core only. Suppose I intend to create a level 5 miniboss [level 3 rogue, level 2 monk] would he be able to sneak attack the PC's with the flurry of blows ability?

Addendum: if equipped with spiked gloves he still would do 1d6 (+ STR) per strike, correct?

Thanks in advance.

Spiked gauntlets bit is generally disapproved here, but if he flanked or otherwise got prereqs for sneak attack, sure he could flurry sneak attacks.

You can only Flurry with Unarmed Strikes and special monk weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). Spiked Gauntlets are not a special Monk weapon, therefore you cannot Flurry with them.

Sneak Attack applies to any attack roll which deals damage to an enemy which is denied their Dex bonus or flanked, regardless of the source. So yes, it would apply on every attack roll of a Flurry, assuming that all other pre-conditions are met.

...Er. Sneak Attacks work with full attacks, yes. I'm not sure why you'd assume they wouldn't work with Flurry...

And spiked gauntlets aren't monk weapons. Monks aren't even proficient with gauntlets. For some reason. No idea what's going on there!
