Professional Butcher (Mental)
Prerequisites: Heal 8 Ranks, BAB +5 or 5 levels in ExpertBenefit: Whenever you make a Called Shot, you may activate this trick to make a Heal check. Add 1/4 of the result of the check(rounded up) to your bonus to hit and damage. The hit bonus cap is reached when any penalties the strike gave become +4(such as turning the -7 from using your second iterative attack in a full attack with the Greater Called Shot feat into a +4, raising it by a total of 11), and the damage bonus caps once the attack deals enough damage to qualify for a Debilitating Blow. In addition, Called Shots made this way need only deal a quarter the target's hit points to qualify as a Debilitating Blow, and do not need to deal 50 damage or more.
Special: If this effect proves a bit too potent in your games, a recommended adjustment would be that for either some kinds of Called Shots(such as the Heart), or all Called Shots, dealing a quarter of the enemy's HP merely upgrades the result: a Normal to a Crticial, and a Critical to a Debilitating Blow.
Of course, it goes without saying, but this trick is useless in a game without Pathfinder's Called Shot mechanics.
