Awesome Blow [Fighter] Prerequisites: 18 StrBenefit: Anytime the creature makes a successful critical strike with a normal attack it may choose to make the attack an awesome blow, or it may choose to subtract 2 from its attack roll on an attack before hand and it need not be a critical strike to deliver an awesome blow. If the creature hits a corporeal opponent weighing no more than twice his maximum load with an awesome blow, its opponent must succeed on a Reflex save (DC = 5 + damage dealt) or be knocked flying 10 feet per every 5 damage dealt, in a direction of the attacking creature's choice and fall prone. The attacking creature can only push the opponent in a straight line, and the opponent can't move closer to the attacking creature than the square it started in. If an obstacle prevents the completion of the opponents move, the opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet left in their movement, and the opponent stops in the space adjacent to the obstacle. Example: Falruk has this feat and before making his full attack action, he decides to take a -2 on his third attack to attempt an awesome blow. During the course of his full attack action he happens to land a critical strike on his second attack. Falruk could choose to make this critical strike into an awesome blow, but knows that hes already planned an awesome blow for his final attack so does not choose to make this critical strike into an awesome blow. On his third attack which he planned as an awesome blow. He successfully hits his opponent. Falruk rolls 2d6 + 8 damage and rolls 15 damage. Upon being struck, his opponent must make a DC 20 reflex saving throw. His opponent fails and is sent flying back 30 feet. After flying back 20 feet he strikes a solid wall. Upon impact both Falruk's opponent and the wall each take 2d6 damage.Normal: Your strikes cannot knock your opponents flying.
