Just picked up Dastardly finish, which looks REALLY cool on paper... But Stunning fist Only lasts till before your next round... and Stunning critical doesn't happen until BAB =17... Soooo since I'm a level 13 rogue... That's still not ever going to happen...
How can I make this work? Are there any fun things that 'stun' people? I've seen MONSTERS do it a few times... but not PCs.
Also, what is 'Cowering'. I see frightened/panicked/shaken... but I've never seen 'Cowering' in any status description...
How do I make this feat work?
Nothing?
is this just a useless feat? :(
Cowering is a condition which makes the sufferer frozen in terror, losing their dexterity bonus, taking a -2 penalty to AC, and being totally unable to take action. Generally, it occurs when a Panicked creature is prevented from fleeing.
It's far from useless, but as far as I can see, it's difficult for a rogue to set up those conditions on his own. You'll need to enlist the aid of your party casters, or a monk flanking buddy to set up Dastardly Finish kills. Which is fairly in keeping with the flavor of the feat.
