Prerequisites: Character level 6 and athletics or acrobatics at 10.

 

After having a few battles under your belt, you've come to realize that there must be a way to hit harder. After some thought, you realize you can use height and falling to your advantage, by transferring all of the fall damage you would incur into your foes. When used from a height 10ft or greater above a target, you may plunge your weapon into them. Roll your attack as you normally would, with +1 to your attack for every 5 ft above 10ft you fall. If failed, you hit the ground and suffer falling damage like normal. If successful, you roll an athletics or acrobatics check (DC 15 +1 for every 5ft above 10ft you are falling). Failure allows the target to still be hit, but you take falling damage as normal. On a success, you transfer half falling damage onto the target, taking half yourself.
