(Style, Combat)
Your fists are weapons of mind-devouring madness.
Prerequisites
Wisdom 17,
Charisma 13,
Improved Unarmed Strike,
Maddening Style,
Stunning Fist,
Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks, ki pool class feature, nongood alignment.
Benefit
As a
Swift Action, you can spend 1 point from your ki pool to imbue the next unarmed strike you make on this turn with the maddening power of the spaces between the stars. If that attack doesn't hit, you take 2 points of
Wisdom damage. If the attack hits, your opponent takes damage from your unarmed strike + 1d4+1 points of
Wisdom damage. A successful
Will Save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your
Wisdom modifier) reduces this to 2 points of
Wisdom damage.
Special
If you are using the sanity system, when you miss with a
Maddening Strike, you take 4 points of sanity damage. If you hit, the target takes damage from the unarmed strike plus 8 points of sanity damage (or 4 points of sanity damage on a successful
Will Save).
