Inflicting daze

[Biggus]

I can find lots of discussions about how to resist being dazed, but none about how to inflict it. Is there a list anywhere? If not what ways do you know of?

[Kurald Galain]

For instance, there's Dazing Spell (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/dazing-spell-metamagic),
Dazing Fist (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dazing-fist-combat),
and Dazing Assault (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dazing-assault-combat/).

[MaxiDuRaritry]

Boomerang Daze, of course. Best when combined with the aptitude weapon enhancement and the MMIII's sand blaster for AoE daze.

[MultitudeMan]

Dire Flail Smash? There's a fun build showcasing it here (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?609298-Optimization-Showcase-in-the-Playground-Dazed-and-Confused).

[Rebel7284]

Wings of Flurry
Frost Breath (level 2!)

Of course people love inflicting Daze on themselves with the celerity line of spells. 😈

[bekeleven]

Various monsters you can summon/polymorph/wild shape into. Cave and War Trolls for MM3 come to mind.

[Biggus]

For instance, there's Dazing Spell (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/dazing-spell-metamagic),
Dazing Fist (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dazing-fist-combat),
and Dazing Assault (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dazing-assault-combat/).

Thank you, but I'm primarily looking for 3.5 stuff (I did tag the thread as such).

Everyone else: thank you, keep them coming.

scourge maiden capstone is inflicting daze for 1d4 rounds, no save, it's a 6/day ability, but creatures immune to stun are immunte to this

complete scoundrel has the cloaked dancer, it has a proxie bardic music thing, one of his dancing performances is dazing every enemy that sees the performance for 1 round, with a will save. Notably you can keep on dancing so they need to keep saving.
it's level/day uses and lasts for level+CON modifier

hammer of moradin has a standard action melee attack strike that deal normal damage and dazes, fort save

[Saintheart]

Anvil of Thunder, Complete Warrior. Takes hits with axe and hammer, so hilarious if you have Quick Draw, Double Hit, a thrower build, and a surfeit of light hammers and handaxes.

Church of St. Cuthbert (C.Champ) - (Rank 4, Affiliation Score 30 or higher) - Wielder of the Cudgel: Once per day, use a bludgeoning weapon to stun and daze a foe. The foe struck must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier) or be stunned for 1 round and dazed for 1d4 rounds thereafter.

[ben-zayb]

There's plenty of those in Spell Compendium
Maw of Chaos: uncapped, untyped 1d6/level damage with save or daze
Final Rebuke: daze or die
Wrathful Castigation: save or die, then save or daze
Darkbolt: each bolt (1/2 CL) can be throen for save or daze
Orb of Fire: the orb spell with save or daze

[Seward]

If humanoid and below level 4, the daze cantrip is the king. By the time you get daze monster you aren't fighting the targets anymore.

Then thanks again for sharing your hard work with me :smallsmile:

Mental Disruption (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/mentalDisruption.htm) can be added to the Psionic Powers list.

Frost Breath is kind of amazing if you are playing an Evoker plus 1 feat Piercing Evocation, or 2 feats if you want a different specialist / generalist (SF Evocation and Piercing Evocation).

Ref save vs Dazed for 1 Round. Yes the duration stinks but it is a reflex save. Also has spell resistance and it affects a 30-ft Cone range. It is also Sculpt Spell capable if you use a metamagic rod or feat. 30-ft Range but you can choose to omit allies or do those 10-ft cubes in 4 different directions.

Wings of Flurry is its 4th level big brother but it is Sorc Only and 2 levels higher. Frost Breath allows you to use your 2nd level slots for Dazing and your 4th level slots for something else like battlefield control (Solid Fog / Wall of Sand, Black Tentacles), Movement Spells, Buff, etc.
