| Shadow Hand, Tiger Claw (Strike) [Death, X-Discipline] | |
| Level: | 5 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | Two Shadow Hand Maneuvers, One Tiger Claw Maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1-round action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Target: | One creature |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | Fortitude partial |
You dramatically raise your scythe above your cowering foe. Rooted to the spot in their panic, they simply crouch there as you slice their head off.
Make a melee attack against the target. You automatically roll a natural 20 on the attack roll, but must roll normally to confirm the critical hit. In addition, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + Dexterity modifier) or die.
Only the Fortitude save to avoid death is a Death effect; immunity to Death effects does not protect against the automatic hit.
Note that Brutal Murder is a 1-round action, not a full-round action: the target has an entire turn to get out of reach and make your maneuver effectively wasted.
