Death Touch (3.5e Monk Fighting Style)

點脈 Death Touch

The path of the Death Touch teaches its students to precisely strike pressure points on the body to cause intense pain within the target.

Special

Monks of the Death Touch gain Knowledge(Anatomy) as a class skill (Knowledge (Nature) can be used throughout this document if the DM does not wish to use the new field of study). This replaces the first level skill bonus

1st-Level Feat

Skill Focus(Knowledge(Anatomy)).

2nd-Level Feat

Weapon Finesse(unarmed strike).

6th-Level Feat

Improved Critical(unarmed strike).

6th-Level Bonus Ability

You may apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to damage rolls when attacking unarmed after a successful Knowledge(Anatomy) check of your opponent; DC 10 for members of your species, 15 for other humanoids (assuming you are humanoid) and at the discretion of the DM for all others. Creatures that are immune to critical hits and sneak attacks because they lack discernible anatomy are also immune to this ability.

Prerequisites

Knowledge(anatomy) 8 ranks, Weapon Focus(unarmed strike).
