Notes[]
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- This feat can be used only with a weapon of choice.
- Using this feat does not guarantee a hit. This has some strategic consequences.
- It is usually best to activate this feat for the first attack of a round (or any attack that is made at full base attack bonus).
- It may be inefficient to activate this feat against a target that has high armor class or concealment.
- Only the base weapon damage is maximized by this feat. If the weapon deals additional variable damage, it is possible that a ki damage hit will do less than the maximum possible total damage. A ki damage hit will still do more total damage on average than other hits.
- On a critical hit ki damage will only maximize one instance of the base damage. Thus a mace with increased multiplier will deal 6 + 2d6 base weapon damage on a ki damage critical hit (as opposed to 3d6 without ki damage).
- This is probably a bug, but epic dodge will activate vs. ki damage misses so this feat can be used to force an opponent with epic dodge to waste their dodge on a miss.
