Harness The Soul's Power
Narrow Bridge (Strike)
Level: 3
Prerequisite: One Narrow Bridge maneuver
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Melee attack
Target: One creature
Duration: One round
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
You understand the power that exists in the bond between soul and body and can harness the resulting energy when that bond snaps.

To use this maneuver you must make a coup de grace attack (unlike a normal coup de grace, using this maneuver makes the coup de grace take only a standard action). The save DC for the coup de grace is increased by your wisdom modifier (if positive). If the target dies (either from a loss of hit points or a failure of their save), you gain all the benefits of the Death Knell spell with your initiator level as your effective caster level. For the duration of the effect your initiator level is also treated as 1 higher. As long as the duration has not yet expired you may transfer the benefits of this effect to any willing being with a touch. Doing so makes you lose all the benefits but the other being gains them for the remaining duration.

Alternatively, instead of gaining the benefits of Death Knell you may choose to recover one expended maneuver (possibly this one). If you are a crusader the maneuver recovered is automatically granted to you.
