Death from Above Feat 8

---

Source Pathfinder #201: Pactbreaker
Prerequisites Canopy Predator, expert in Athletics

---

Requirements 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.
