Death knell of the double-cursed chicken
Buy a chicken (PHB, really cheap).
Cast Bestow Curse on it to give it a "–6 decrease to an ability score" -- selecting Wisdom as the ability score you decrease.
Cast it again to give it "–4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks."
Assuming a chicken has similar stats to other birds, it has Wis 12 or so. The -6 decrease puts it at Wis 6, for -2 on Will saves. The other -4 penalty knocks this down further.
Choke your chicken. Use unarmed strikes to keep the thing unconscious. Keep its HP down below -1 but above -10. Keep it handy, just in case combat breaks out.
You'll have to wake it up so it can eat and drink every other day, so you'll need a second double-cursed chicken. But why stop there? Have four or five of them, just in case one of them makes its Will save.
When combat breaks out, grab a double-cursed chicken and Death Knell it. It will almost certainly fail its Will save and you get a cheap power-up.
Thematically, this would work out very well for an evil cleric. You could give him a voodoo flavor, just for fun.
