Throwing Technique [Feat]

[Tim4488]

I'd like a more evocative name, but nothing's grabbing me yet.

Throwing Technique (Combat)
You know many ways to follow up an attack with devastating throws.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: You may combine a normal unarmed attack and a trip attempt as a full-round action. If you hit on the attack, roll damage as normal and make a CMB check. If this roll succeeds, you may move into your opponent's square and choose for them to land prone in any adjacent square. Your opponent takes d6 falling damage as well. Neither the CMB check nor the movement provoke any attacks of opportunity.
Special: If you BAB is +6 or higher, your opponent instead takes 2d6 points of falling damage. If your BAB is +11 or higher, your opponent takes 3d6 points of falling damage. If your BAB is +16 or higher, your opponent takes 4d6 points of falling damage. In addition, Monks may take this feat as one of their bonus feats.

Is it clear? I realize there's a lot going on, but I tried to word it as well as I could.

It doesn't seem overpowered to me at the moment, though I would like to add another prerequisite, maybe two. Improved Trip just doesn't seem appropriate in terms of the fluff as to how you're getting them on the ground (not to mention that would make it cost 3 feats to get this one), and Improved Grapple somewhat applies, but eh...

And for anyone with interest in real-world martial arts, I imagine this technique encompasses many different throws. A hip throw, shoulder throw or head throw would land them in your previous square, a reaping attack (Osoto Gari) would press them back a square, face throws could be used to put them to the sides or behind you... so on, so forth.

Personally, I would rename is to something like Shoulder Throw or what not. When I read the post name, I was thinking 'oh, a few for throwing things' and not a feat for throwing someone down. Past that, awesome feat. I'm definitely adding it to my game as a feat. Great for grapplers.

Yeah, a friend of mine suggested Shoulder Throw as well. I just want to leave it open since, as I mentioned down below, I imagine it as containing a few different real-world-martial-arts throws that all follow basically the same rules.

"Naga Waza" is the Japanese for "Throwing Technique" but that's a silly convoluted way to name it.

Bah. We'll call it "Shoulder Throw" until something better comes up. It's a perfectly good name, no offense, but like I said, doesn't quite fit the fluff I have in mind.
