Crippling Strike vs Hamstring

[MrToby]

I'm currently building a rogue and due to hp starving I decided to replace hamstring with crippling strike to fit in another toughness, but now I'm curious, can Crippling Strike replace Hamstring? does it apply the same slow effect? Or is hamstring better?

[MaximusParthas]

hamstring is better imo. it slows movement and movement based attacks by 50%.

Crippling Strike can only be taken as a rogue bonus feat, it can't be traded for non-rogue-bonus-feats.

As far as i know it only applies 2 points of strength damage on sneak attacks, it won't apply a slow effect.


There are better ways of improving your hp on a feat starved class like rogue.

Thanks, thats all I wanted to know, I'll take something instead of crippling strike then.
