Savvy Rogue Feat + Crippling Strike

I'm a little confused by the wording of this feat's benefit with the Crippling Strike Rogue level 10+ option. Just confirming:

The Strength damage would now apply on creatures like oozes or plants, but not creatures like constructs and undead who are immune to physical ability damage?

Location (which book) and wording of feat (gist at least) would help, please.
 

Savvy Rogue​
[General]​
(CSco p080)​
Rogue 10​
th level + Any / all of the following Rogue Special Abilities that you have improves as follows:
Crippling Strike – deal Strength damage even on a creature who is immune to the extra damage of the
Sneak Attack.
Defensive Roll – usable 3/day (instead of 1/day).
Improved Evasion – +2 Competence bonus on Reflex saves.
Opportunist – you may make more than one ‘Opportunistic’ attack per round, but no more than one per
opponent –and– each counts as a separate Attack of Opportunity.
Skill Mastery – you may “Take 12” with your mastered skills (i.e., “Take 10” with a +2 bonus).
Slipper Mind – +2 Competence bonus on the extra Will save granted by this ability.


 

Thatwackyneed seems to have summarized it. It's on pages 80-81 of Complete Scoundrel and is a boost to the rogue special abilities gained at levels 10/13/16/19.

Note the important maximum of one attack per opponent. The first time I saw this feat, a fellow player had overlooked that distinction and the resulting opportunist cascades were absolutely heinous. (At that table, my character's cohort was a rogue with opportunist but without this feat; even so, the full attack sequence that went first attack/ally's opportunist/my opportunist/ally's opportunist/haste attack/ally's opportunist/secondary attack/ally's opportunist/tertiary attack/ally's opportunist was enough to drop a styx dragon from over half to dead before we finished the full attack).
