Diamond Cutter (3.5e Maneuver)

''There was a soft click, and suddenly his blade was in hand. Was he intending to use it? Suddenly, without a word, the bamboo forest which surrounded him fell to the ground.''

You can only use this strike when you are drawing a weapon. As a standard action you draw the weapon and attack, dealing normal weapon damage plus 1d6 damage per level (maximum 10d6 at initiator level 10). This attack ignores damage reduction and hardness, and is often used to showy effect by felling large trees with a single blow.
