Can you use Deadly Strike and Devastating Blow at the same time when you attack?
Since both feats are listed as requiring Standard Actions to perform I'm interpreting these feats as the combat maneuvers themselves rather than just modifiers to a Standard Attack. So my gut reaction is no, you can't use them both at the same time.
Other people are interpreting this differently, so I'm wondering what the original designer intent was for this.
Anyway, can't say I'm too comfortable with the idea of a double damage auto-critical power attack with a scythe. ;)

I pondered the same question and after consulting my GM and rereading the exact wording we're positive that it is not possible.
Basically any "As a standard action, make a single melee attack" feats or powers can not be combined. The question is if Spring Attack could be combined with these feats. My GM ruled yes because Spring Attack basically lets you move before and after your standard action but requires that you use it for an attack.
While we're at it:
When you have used Devastating Blow or Overhand Chop in a round can you apply the benefit to an AoP?
How do "As a standard action, make a single melee attack" feats combine with splat book stuff like Dual Strike(Tempest) or Bounding Assault?
