Shadow Attack (Combat)

The power of a shadow continues to infuse your body, allowing you to rob your target of its Strength.

Prerequisite: Wis 19, Improved Unarmed Strike, Shadow Strike, Shadow Style, base attack bonus +15 or monk level 15th, Knowledge (planes) 15 ranks.

Benefit: While using Shadow Style, you can choose to make a touch attack that steals a living creature’s Strength. As a standard action you can make a touch attack that deals 1d4 points of Strength damage. This damage is halved (to a minimum of 1) if the living creature succeeds on a Fortitude save. The DC for this ability is equal to (10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Wisdom modifier). You do not add your Strength modifier or precision damage to the Strength damage, although a critical hit deals double Strength damage.
