Violate Spell is a metamagic that changes half a spell's damage to vile. Book of Vile Darkness.

Oh i missed that, thank alot. Actually i might need to take another look through that book. Been working on a BBEG who "corrupts" everything he touches with the very essence of evil, and vile damage seems to be the best way besides taint to represent this.

The Mother Cyst feat from Libris Mortis is a good way to deal lots of vile damage. It gives a spell at each level related to giving enemies horrible exploding tumors. Unfortunately, it requires the target to fail 2 saves, but the second would be at a -2 penalty thanks to the Necrotic Cyst spell.

[j_spencer93]

Not exactly what I was looking for but it fits my BBEG lol actually been looking for a reason to use those.

Violate Spell-Like Ability (BoVD)
Touch of Hate (PGF) - beast of Bane that you create deals vile damage with it's smite good ability.
Vileblade spell (Dragon #300)

Is there a reason you'd focus on vile damage from a pure mechanical optimization standpoint, or is it mostly just for flavor?

[Khatoblepas]

Vile damage can't be healed outside of a Consecrated/Hallowed area, I believe, so it's good against creatures who heal a lot.

Vile damage can't be healed at all until the target gets a remove curse spell or better before being healed.

Well both actually, the fluff of it (and profane dmg) and the crunch of how it must be healed.

Ahh gotcha, thanks folks. I don't see it talked about much so I figured it wasn't all that great.

Feats
...
Vileblade spell Vileblade is not a feat. It's a Corrupt spell of 6th level

[j_spencer93]

fixed, never heard of it and just assumed it was vileblade feat lmao. Makes alot more sense now

[ShurikVch]

How about the racial and class features? There are some, but it's not a "feats/items/spells"

[j_spencer93]

There are???? I wasn't aware of that. I want anything pertaining to it lol
