I'm not sure but I think what Crippling Strike does, is lowering the STR of the opponent by 2 points.
Yup. *grins* This is a wonderful little feat. Every successful sneak attack does 2 STR damage.
If only we were a server that killed you upon reaching a negative ability score. Then the feat would be wonderful.
Crippling Strike does not work with ranged weapons. For sure.
For sure sure, don't take it to test it!
Hehe it was just a response to the post stating that it might actually refer to bow sneaks as well, which you need to be in range to do and so on... There have also been characters who have taken it in the past, unaware that it doesn't work for melee.
