Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 9170738" data-attributes="member: 57383">How about one of the following?Basic Version:Incapacitating Strike (Ex) #1: As a standard action, the Keeper of the Keys makes an unarmed strike attack against the limb of a creature. If it hits, the creature must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude saving throw or the limb targeted by the Keeper becomes incapacitated for a day (2d8+15 hours)[or 24 hours?]. In addition to the damage, incapacitating strike imposes the following penalties: an incapacitated limb lacks the Strength to hold and carry objects or make attacks, held items are dropped, but worn items are not dropped; if an incapacitated limb is used for locomotion (for example, a leg), the target's speed drops by three-quarters and Dexterity suffers a –8 circumstance penalty; if an incapacitated limb is used for manipulation (for example, an arm), the target's Strength and Dexterity suffers a –8 circumstance penalty and all spells with somatic components require a Concentration check (minimum DC 15). An incapacitated limb can be restored by a DC 19 Heal check[?] or the use of heal, limited wish, restoration and wish spells. The save DC is Dexterity-based.Version with Increased Damage & Critical Strike:Incapacitating Strike (Ex) #2: As a standard action, the Keeper of the Keys makes an unarmed strike attack against the limb of a creature. If it hits, the creature takes 2d8+3 damage and must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude saving throw or the limb targeted by the Keeper becomes incapacitated for a day (2d8+15 hours)[or 24 hours?]. If the unarmed strike scored a critical hit, the unarmed strike inflicts 4d8+6 damage, the Fort save increases to DC 24 and the incapacitation lasts 2 to 3 days (2d12+48 hours)[?]. In addition to the damage, incapacitating strike imposes the following penalties: an incapacitated limb lacks the Strength to hold and carry objects or make attacks, held items are dropped, but worn items are not dropped; if an incapacitated limb is used for locomotion (for example, a leg), the target's speed drops by three-quarters and Dexterity suffers a –8 circumstance penalty; if an incapacitated limb is used for manipulation (for example, an arm), the target's Strength and Dexterity suffers a –8 circumstance penalty and all spells with somatic components require a Concentration check (minimum DC 15). An incapacitated limb can be restored by a DC 19 Heal check (DC 24 for a critical incapacitation)[?] or the use of heal, limited wish, restoration and wish spells. The save DC is Dexterity-based.Any preferences?Also toyed with the idea of giving it a triple damage "supercritical" and/or increasing the base damage so it matched the normal critical damage of the Keeper's unarmed strikes, i.e.:Incapacitating Strike (Ex) #3: As a standard action, the Keeper of the Keys makes an unarmed strike attack against the limb of a creature. If it hits, the creature takes 2d8+3 damage and must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude saving throw or the limb targeted by the Keeper becomes incapacitated for a day (2d8+15 hours)[or 24 hours?]. If the unarmed strike scored a critical hit, the unarmed strike inflicts 6d8+9, the Fort save increases to DC 24 and the incapacitation lasts 2 to 3 days (2d12+48 hours)[?].Incapacitating Strike (Ex) #4: As a standard action, the Keeper of the Keys makes an unarmed strike attack against the limb of a creature. If it hits, the creature takes 2d10+3 damage and must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude saving throw or the limb targeted by the Keeper becomes incapacitated for a day (2d8+15 hours)[or 24 hours?]. If the unarmed strike scored a critical hit, the unarmed strike inflicts 4d10+6 damage[6d10+9 damage?], the Fort save increases to DC 24 and the incapacitation lasts 2 to 3 days (2d12+48 hours)[?].That felt like it was going a bit too far though.</blockquote>
