Can a non-thief 10+ character get Crippling Strike?

Epic Assassins and Arcane Tricksters get access to "Lingering Damage" but no easy access to crippling strike I can see. But I might be missing something.



This is why I want to know:

Lingering Damage [Epic]
Prerequisite
Sneak attack +8d6, crippling strike class feature.
Benefit
Any time you deal damage with a sneak attack, that target takes damage equal to your sneak attack bonus damage on your next turn as well.

You can also get Crippling Strike via Bloodhound (CV), Justiciar (CW), or Thayan Slaver (UE).

Thanks. Do you think it matters that the abilities aren't specifically called crippling strike? The do, do the strength damage.

if I remember correctly, crippling strike is also an epic bonus feat for rogues, so maybe it is an epic bonus feat for sneak attack classes that dont normally get it....
