Is this damage multiplied for a critical attack? DaBear 10:17, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)
no--Defunc7 14:04, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)
Removed the note about Melee weapon since i tested it unarmed and it worked just fine.
Test: Hit your henchmen with a sneak attack and you will see that that henchmen will lose two in strength even if you are unarmed. There is no combat log for this feat.--CID-78 03:42, 22 January 2006 (PST)
- I think that note was referring to the fact that it doesn't work with ranged weapons. Not unarmed attacks. good point though. It is really melee attacks that count and not weapons. -- Jjjhhhlll 14:22, 22 January 2006 (PST)
--Is this a cumulative reduction? --Tuskin 01/04/07
- Yes Kail Pendragon 16:34, 4 January 2007 (PST)
- Not sure if this is part of the 1.69 patch, but after testing I have found out that there is a reduction cap of 30 ability damage. Should this be worth noting? (Most creatures will not have a strength over 33, but in a PvP type setting, this could affect the feat's value) 173.66.192.68 23:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] save?
is there a save for this? and what imunities besides to criticals and sneak atack would prevent this?
- There's no save. Immunity to level/ability drain should make you immune.--Kamiryn 05:50, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
- Hm, this isn't a supernatural/magical ability drain. Crippling strike deals direct physical damage to limbs/tendons. So if immunity to level/ability drain makes you immune to crippling strike effect, which i doubdt, it's a bug.--PrimeEvil 13:23 GMT, 17 May 2009
[edit] Duration
What's the duration on this ? Is it permanent ? What does it take to recover from it ? --24.203.5.88 14 February 2009
- From what I've observed (but not carefully tested), the ability loss is permanent and not removed by resting. The restoration line of spells heals it. Basically, the ability loss appears to be implemented as a permanent supernatural effect. --The Krit 02:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
