Touch of Serenity

(Combat)

With a single touch you can reduce the threat of even the most savage of foes.

Prerequisites

Wisdom 18, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.

Benefit

You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). On a successful hit, the attack deals no damage and bestows no other effect or condition, but the target cannot cast spells or attack (including attacks of opportunity and attacks as immediate actions) for 1 round unless it succeeds on a Will saving throw with a DC of 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier. You may attempt a Touch of Serenity once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round.

Special

A Monk, Astoran of the lotus receives Touch of Serenity as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. A Monk, Astoran may attempt a Touch of Serenity a number of times per day equal to his Monk, Astoran level, plus one more time per day for every four levels he has in classes other than Monk, Astoran.

Combat Trick

If you have a Stamina pool, the following Combat Trick may be used with this feat.

You can spend 5 Stamina points to declare you are using this feat after you hit with an attack roll. The target can still attempt the saving throw to resist Touch of Serenity’s effects.
