Death From Above [two-actions] Feat 8This Feat may contain spoilers from the Wardens of Wildwood Adventure Path
Uncommon Archetype Source Pathfinder #201: Pactbreaker pg. 80Archetype Verduran Shadow DedicationPrerequisites Canopy Predator;
Verduran Shadow Dedication; expert in
AthleticsRequirements You are standing,
climbing, or
balancing on a surface at least 10 feet above your target.
You leap down on your target, using their body to cushion your fall and your momentum to empower your attack. Attempt an
Athletics check to Leap to a space adjacent to the target. If you land adjacent to the target, compare the Athletics check result against your target’s Reflex DC.
When you leap onto a creature in this way, you do not also deal damage for
falling on a creature. Regardless of your result, the target is temporarily
immune to your Death from Above for 1 minute.
Critical Success The target falls and lands prone, reducing the falling damage you take by an amount equal to twice your level. You then can make a melee
Strike against the target. The Strike gains the
deadly d8 weapon property and deals an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage. This additional damage increases to 2d6 if you are a master in Athletics, and to 3d6 if you are legendary in Athletics.
Success The target is
off-guard until the beginning of your next turn, reducing the falling damage you take by an amount equal to your level. You can then make a melee Strike against the target, adding the deadly d8 weapon property to the attack.
Failure You can make a
Strike against the target.
Critical Failure You fall
prone, whether you take falling damage or not.
