CMB Feat - Underfoot

[Xaaon of Xen'Drik]

Underfoot
You are skilled at using your size to your advantage.
Pre-requisites: Small size
Benefits: When fighting opponents larger than themselves, your size penalty to your CMB score is negated.
Normal: You suffer a -4 penalty to CMB for your small size.

The idea behind this fat is "The bigger they are, the harder they fall".

That feat's a liar: The CMB penalty for small size is -1, not -4.

They don't use the grapple modifiers. Instead small is -1, large is +1, and each additional category beyond that doubles the modifier.

And some suggestions for the feat:

It shouldn't be limited to small characters. Let everyone of small or smaller size, or maybe even everyone profit (see my other suggestion):

Instead of negating the modifier for small characters, the feat might give you the CMB size modifier as if you were one size category larger than normal, proficed the enemy is larger than you.

Also, what about removing the AoO that defenders get when the character enters the defender's square? That would be a benefit for tiny creatures and would fit with the name of the feat.
