Does anybody remember a feat that allowed Sneak Attacks against undead? I could have sworn it was in Song & Silence, or in Libris Mortis, but I can't find it.

Am I hallucinating?

skullcap hunters in the minitures handbook allows you to sneak attack undead as a prestige class ability, only thing I can think of

Well, there's a feat in Complete Adventurer that allows you to sacrifice a divine spell to make this possible. Also, there's a spell, Grave Strike.

You're better off getting one of the magic items from the new Magic Item Compendium that do this, though, like the greater truedeath augment crystal.

There's a rogue alternate feature in Dungeonscape that allows 1/2 your normal Sneak Attack against creatures normally immune (Undead/plants/constructs etc).

I guess I was hallucinating, then.

Thanks, folks!

Alternatively, there's the alternate class feature in PHB 2 that lets you swap uncanny dodge for the ability to lower the AC of opponents you can't sneak attack.

Personally, I'd probably rather have the uncanny dodge, but it's another option to consider.

Indeed, the best way to attack immune creatures to sneak attack.
