Additional Feats
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 149 2.0Some archetypes allow other feats beyond those in their entry. These are typically class feats, such as fighter feats that represent certain combat styles. The list of additional feats includes the feat's name, its level, and the page number where it appears. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype's dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class trait doesn't have that class trait.

Archetype Dedication Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 183 2.0Archetype MaulerPrerequisites Strength 14
You specialize in weapons that require two hands. You become trained in all simple and martial melee weapons that require two hands to wield or have the
two-hand trait. Whenever you gain a class feature that grants you expert or greater proficiency in weapons, you also gain that proficiency rank in these weapons. If you are at least an expert in such a weapon, you gain access to the critical specialization effect with that weapon.
Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the mauler archetype.

Athletics
You make an attack to knock a foe off balance, then follow up immediately with a sweep to topple them. Make a melee Strike. If it hits and deals damage, you can attempt an
Athletics check to
Trip the creature you hit. If you're wielding a two-handed melee weapon, you can ignore Trip's requirement that you have a hand free. Both attacks count toward your multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after you've made both of them.

original feat.

If this Strike hits, you deal an extra die of weapon damage. If you’re at least 10th level, increase this to two extra dice, and if you’re at least 18th level, increase it to three extra dice.

Fighter Source Core Rulebook pg. 151 4.0Archetype MaulerPrerequisites Knockdown* This version of the Improved Knockdown feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the
original feat.
You can dash your foe to the ground with a single blow. When you use Knockdown, instead of making a Strike followed by a
Trip, you can attempt a single Strike. If you do and your Strike hits, instead of rolling a check for your Trip attempt, you automatically apply the critical success effect of a Trip. If you used a two-handed melee weapon for the Strike, you can use the weapon's damage die size instead of the regular die size for the damage from a critical Trip.

Trip every foe in the chosen square plus each square adjacent to that square, ignoring Trip's requirement that you have a hand free.
