I'm struggling to come up with a feat for my 18th level slot. I am a Totemist 5/Rogue 15 with Mindsight. My other feats are Brutal Throw, Undead Meldshaping, Power Attack, Power Throw, and Craven.

I'm wondering whether Lifesense or Staggering Strike is the better of the options available to me, and I'd like to here your thoughts.

I, for one, absolutely love Lifesense.

If your dm rules that mind blank blocks mindsight, pick up life sense. Otherwise I am not sure the redundancy is worth it.

I'm with Spuddles here. The number of mindless living beings is rather low. If you exclude oozes there are nearly none.

Well, plants and oozes, but what interest would mindless plants and oozes have for an undead?

The big thing is that Lifesense detects enemies outside of 100'. 120' is the maximum range for all other autodetect abilities, barring a few specific exceptions. So if you can spot people outside that range, it's really great.

Staggering Strike. I think Lifesense on top of Mindsight is hitting the point of dimishing returns.
