Touch of Death
[edit] Touch of Death
Type: Monk negative energy attack enhancement
Prerequisites:
- Monk level 9
- Path of Inevitable Dominion
- Any one of Adept of Rock, Adept of Wind, Adept of Flame, Adept of Rain
- Static Charge
- Porous Soul
- Winter's Touch
- All-Consuming Flame
- AP progression: 28
Target: Enemy
Action Point cost: 4
Ki cost to use: 50
You strike your opponent down with twisted ki, dealing 500 additional negative energy damage. A successful Fortitude save reduces the damage to half (the DC is 10 + Monk level + wisdom modifier).
Before other Monks receive the save-or-die Quivering Palm feat attack at level 15, this dreaded trademark "dark Monk" attack arrives at level 9, which can instantly kill many powerful mid-level enemies.
As this ability is powered by a Monk's ki, the monk can use this ability as long as there is ki to generate through striking (or being struck) by enemies. There is a cooldown of about 15 seconds between uses.
The Touch of Death enhancement is a spell-like ability. It is not a finishing move. The Touch of Death (as with most monk abilities) is not affected by a beholder's anti-magic cone effect that stymies spell casting.
This ability only works when fighting unarmed.
