Q 102

The Sickening Strike and Terrifying Strike ambush feats (Drow of the Underdark) can induce conditions that involve a saving throw penalty (sickened and shaken, respectively) for 1 round.

If the sneak attack causing the effects of the ambush feat(s) is an unarmed strike that also carries another special effect requiring a saving throw (like a Stunning Fist attack or a touch spell whose caster was holding the charge), does said saving throw suffer from the penalties of the conditions? Or would it only count for the next attack?

In other words, in which order are the ambush feats and special attack applied?

Q 103

The wracking touch spell (Complete Adventurer & Spell Compendium) is a touch spell with the following effect:

You lay your hand upon a creature and deal 1d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +10). In addition, if you have the sneak attack ability, you also deal sneak attack damage to the affected creature unless the creature is immune to extra damage from critical hits. The creature still takes the spell damage even if it does not take the sneak attack damage. Unlike a normal use of sneak attack, your target need not be flanked or denied its Dexterity bonus to take sneak attack damage from this spell.

A) The spell has "Fortitude half" as a saving throw. Does a successful saving throw only reduce by half the 1d6+1/level damage, or does it also halve the sneak attack damage?

B) If the caster holds the charge, and then makes an unarmed strike in the correct conditions to cause sneak attack damage on a creature not immune, does he inflict sneak attack damage twice? (Once for the unarmed strike itself, and once from the wracking touch spell going off?)

C) Same question as B) if a wracking touch spell is cast on a spell-storing weapon, and released in a situation where the weapon also inflicts sneak attack damage.

D) And by the way, still in the case of a spell-storing weapon with a wracking touch spell, is the sneak attack damage dependent on the caster's ability, or on the wielder's (if they aren't the same person)?
