<onlyinclude>{{3.5e Feat
|name=Close Whiff
|types=Fighter
|summary=The force of your blow can cause grievous wounds even if you barely miss your target.
|prereqs=[[BAB]] +3, [[Power Attack]]
|prereq_feat1=Power Attack
|benefit=If you use the Power Attack feat at a penalty of -2 or higher and would have hit the enemy had you not used Power Attack, you instead deal damage to your target equal to the damage you would have dealt from your strength modifier added to the damage you would have dealt that was derived from the Power Attack feat.
|example=Bob the fighter has +5 BAB, and a Strength modifier of +4 for an attack roll of +9. With his two-handed battle-axe, he attacks a foe with 18 AC taking a -5 penalty to Power Attack, and rolls a 12 for a total of 17. Since he would have hit had he not used Power Attack, instead of whiffing completely he instead deals 6 (his strength modifier multiplied by one and a half) + 10 (double his damage from Power Attack) instead since he's wielding a two-handed weapon.
|special=The damage derived from Power Attack is treated as though it were unmodified by any additional feats or abilities that the character might have, such as Leap Attack or Combat Brute.
