That is my plan. Lyrakie crits on a 15+ then passes on the crit to you. You get your chance to cockatrice strike.

Suggestions or Critiques?

"SCORPION STYLE IS NOT REALLY A STYLE FEAT."

"ERGO NONE OF THE FEATS DOWN ITS LINE COUNT AS A STYLE FEAT."

"ALSO MOST MONSTERS STILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO PASS THE FORT SAVE."

"ALSO HOW ARE YOU GETTING THEM ' dazed, flat-footed, paralyzed, staggered, stunned, or unconscious'?"

Cockatrice Strike is a full round action that can only be used against a foe that is already under another status condition, only works on a critical hit, and then only works if they fail a low dc save against most creatures strongest save.

Using Butterfly sting to set up the crit is nice, but you still have to hit (difficult with your crappy STR), they still need to be under another status condition, and they still need to fail the save.

You would be better off full attacking than trying to petrify your foe, and if the foe is petrified, their gear is too, which will affect your loot.

This is a trap.


Hmmm wouldn't the low strength be made up for with high BAB, and fighter weapon group?

I did forget about the status effects. I will have to think on that for while.

But if scorpion style is not a style feat. Then. This idea really isn't looking so good.
