    Default Feat to sneak attack undead...

    I'm trying to remember where I saw a feat that let's you sneak attack undead. Not for all the damage, but for some percentage I can't say or WOTC would sue me and I'd be off the boards.

    Anyone know what book?

    Feat wise, I know of Supernatural Blow and Razing Strike.

    Item wise the Greater Truedeath crystal which costs 10,000 gp allows you to sneak attack undead.

    Class abilities wise, there's penetrating strike, an ACF in place of trapsense. If you flank an opponent, you can SA him for half of your SA dice regardless of immunities. BEST. ACF. EVAH.

    I know this isn't quite what you asked, but it's similar so I'll post it.

    The Swift Hunter feat will allow a multi-class ranger/scout use his skirmish damage against favored enemies, even if they don't normally allow precision damage. This indirectly allows them to do skirmish damage against constructs and undead (if they're chosen as favored enemies).

    My suggestion is to just pick up a Truedeath Crystal. You don't waste a feat or levels, just gold.

    I think this is what you're looking for. Don't remember where it's from though.

    ENABLE CRITICALS [General, Fighter]
    You have learned to score critical hits on unusual creature types.
    Benefit: Choose one type of creature that is normally immune to critical hits (construct, elemental, ooze, plant, undead). You can score critical hits against that type of creature, despite that this is not generally allowed.
    Special: If you choose constructs, you can also score critical hits against inanimate objects. If you choose undead and are using an attack that does not suffer a miss chance against incorporeal opponents (like a ghost touch weapon), you can score critical hits against incorporeal undead.
    Notes: This also allows you to use abilities and actions that only work against creatures subject to critical hits, such as Coup de Grace, Sneak Attack and the ranger's Favored Enemy damage bonus. A construct, object, or undead need never make a Fortitude save to survive a coup-de-grace.
    Seven out of ten people are in this statistic.

    Penetrating strike is certainly an amazing ability and something I think would make a good homebrewed feat.

    As far as alternatives go, you could try the various feats in complete scoundrel I believe and maybe other places that let you sacrifice sneak attack damage to do other things instead, but undead would be immune to most of those anyways.

    Alternatively you could just get a weapon with the Grave Strike* (or its construct killing brother Golem Strike) spell as a permanent effect. I think you can find the spell in Complete Adventurer, allows you to sneak attack undead/constructs for one round. Doesn't do anything about the crit immunity though.

    *Disclaimer: May not actually be its name.

    Book of Exalted Deeds has it: Sacred Strike. One of the few feats in there that isn't over powered.

    Thank you, you just saved me some trouble, I'd forgotten which spell lists those fell under.
