Momentum Blast [General] Almost instantly she accelerated the crossbow bolt she held into the orc’s skull.Prerequisites: Skipper's Decisive Strike +1d6Benefit: You are able to use latent momentum of your unspent skip to accelerate ammunition or even a blast of air to a lethal speed. You may make a special decisive strike as an attack of its own, making a ranged touch attack with the same range you can make a decisive strike at (base of 30 feet). If the attack hits it deals only your decisive strike damage and has a 18-20/x2 critical multiplier. The extra damage from a decisive strike is considered base damage for a momentum blast and is thus multiplied on a critical hit, unlike a normal decisive strike. You may take the Weapon Focus and similar feat for your momentum blast. You may deal nonlethal damage with a momentum blast without any penalties, even though it is a ranged attack.

You may use an arrow, crossbow bolt, dart or slings bullets as a projectile as part of making the decisive strike. If you do you deal extra damage based as if you had fired the piece of ammunition but the attack is resolved as a normal ranged attack roll. An arrow deals extra damage as if it was fired from a shortbow, a bolt as a light crossbow, a dart as an altalt and a slings bullet as a sling. The momentum blast benefits from any enhancements placed on the ammunition fired. Using a piece of ammunition does not alter the momentum's blast range or critical threat/multiplier, and the extra damage is multiplied on a critical hit. You apply any feats which apply to ranged attack to a momentum blast using ammunition.

The skipper may also fire an ammunition sized object as an improvised weapon (such as a coin or a rock), without the normal -4 for doing so. The projected object deals damage as if you fired a sling bullet as per above.

The attack granted by this feat is a weapon-like supernatural ability. Special: A momentum blast using ammunition counts as projectile weapon attacks for feats and ability which require or affect them. A momentum blast using an arrow counts as a bow attack, a crossbow attack if it uses a bolt, a thrown dart attack if it uses a dart, a sling or firearm attack if it uses a sling bullet.
