Life-Terminating Bite
Tiger Claw (Strike)
Level: 8
Prerequisite: Four Tiger Claw maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Melee
Target: One creature that you have pinned
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None

After wrestling your victim to the ground, you thrust your weapon directly at their spinal cord, aiming to inflict a swift death.

You can only use this maneuver against a creature that you have pinned. Make a single melee attack. If you connect, your victim dies instantly, as if beheaded.

This maneuver works by severing the foe's spinal cord; by definition, it is a precision-based attack, much like a critical hit or sneak attack, so resistance or immunity against precision-based attacks (such as fortification) applies against this maneuver. If your foe has multiple heads (such as an ettin, Zweilous, or hydra), this maneuver merely disables and effectively destroys a single head; in order to instantly slay such a foe, you must use this maneuver on all of their heads.
