Ego Whip Sucks

MAIMING STRIKE
You can make dreadful attacks that disfi gure your opponents.
Prerequisites: Evil, sneak attack +2d6.
Benefi t: Whenever you make a successful sneak attack
on a target creature, you can reduce your extra damage
and deal Charisma damage instead. For every 2 dice of
extra damage that you sacrifice, your attack deals 1 point of
Charisma damage.


Exemplars of Evil: Making your Rogue a veritable Death Machine. Seriously, even a mere 10d6 Sneak Attack means 5 Cha damage, no save, every Sneak Attack.

According to steam genasi, being egotistical also lowers your charisma.

And spells, and probably a prestige class...

That's stupid.
I sort of feel like Wizards created "Intelligence, Wisdom, and Whatever's Left" as the mental ability scores.

Reason I don't like it: IIRC, it only works once per target. That means that outside things that go into a coma from that one hit or Sorcerers/Paladins, there's not much point to this.

After all, no one uses CHA for anything! ...right?  ;)

Charisma is not a Physical Ability .... it is a Mental Ability..... provided that the feat does not specify "Mind Affecting" .. it should work great on most creatures

I quoted the feat in the OP. That's word for word, straight from Exemplars of Evil. It can affect everything that you can Sneak Attack and isn't outright immune to Ability Damage (Big T).

It appears I was mistaken. I'd confused it with Disemboweling Strike (1 CON Damage). Look REALLY good, then.

Thank god it's not mind-affecting, or Hilton would be immune.

I find the prospect of putting zombies into a coma by disfiguring them (more) funny, though. :D

And it would be rediculously easy, since their charisma scores are only 1.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

What is that spell that gives you uncapped Sneak Attack damage based upon CL?

Combine that with Wracking Touch for auto-Sneak Attack damage and you could probably even take down a Paladin or Sorcerer in a round or two.

And could you somehow make this qualify for Empowered Ability Damage, or whatever that feat is from LM?
