Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

are there anywhere errata or further descriptions for the ghost strike maneuver from the shadow striker feat (Player's Handbook 2)?

The text ist not clear in some details and can be played very absurd:
1) Size categories of the participants are not mentioned, so following the letter it is possible that a fine creature can lose a colossal creature from sight.
2) It is not mentioned what the ally is doing, so it seems possible that the ally ist using the ghost strike, too, since using this maneuver one is still threatening the enemy.

Combining these two examples it is still within the rules, that a human fighter loses two great red wyrms using ghost strike from view. Nice picture but also remarkable illogical :-)

For a brief moment many people lose sight of a truck.

That was their last act.

No offense taken. But remember: 'common sense' is something excluded from 3.Ed. For Example: Using a greatsword or a bow while grappling with the weapon supremacy feat! ;-)

I can see that as viable actually, with the greatsword at least:
Your opponent has you, you grab the sword by the blade and handle and start cutting into him.

That aside, the feat says you can use it against your foe without penalty and without first making a grapple check, but if you read the grapple rules it says light weapons only. Interpret that as you will.
