[QUOTE="Synthetik Fish, post: 2574225, member: 8746"] Good idea. Only one slight discrepency though: I *think* the idea behind undead is that magic is what is powering them, so severing a tendon wouldn't necessarily do anyhting to them (at least, in the way of skeletons...) but I FULLY and COMPLETELY agree with you about structural weakness. Should be a feat (and indeed I think there is. I know there's one for plants... I think ;) ) that lets you Sneak Attack them Something like this (my interpretation): Espanded Sneak Attack Prerequisites: Must be able to sneak attack for +3d6 damage. "You can attack structural weaknesses of creatures that would otherwise be un-affected by your sneak attacks." Benefit: By taking this feat, a player may use his full sneak attack on undead and constructs that he would not otherwise be able to effect. Note that this feat does NOT effect oozes and other such creatures lacking a "structure." Not sure if I would allow it for shadows and shades, or similar monsters. Basicly, anything physical that is definatively constructed, ie. has arms, legs, any sorf of limb or correct "form," would be effected. One part of an ooze is exactly the same as any other part, and therefore it would not be effected. [/QUOTE]
