In Haunt 41 (Invisible Traitor), how does a sneak attack work, and can it steal an item?

Question

Accepted Answer

Any Traitor attack made without an item is a sneak attack: the Traitor rolls dice equal to half the original number of heroes, rounded up, and the target takes that much physical damage with no defence. Because the sneak attack replaces the normal attack, it cannot steal, though some players think it should.
