Does anyone know if Piranha Strike has a follow-up feat that's equivalent to Furious Focus?
Thanks.
Good to know. Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, can someone help me understand the use of Piranha Strike? My brain must not be firing on all cylinders right now. Power Attack is usable with light weapons (unlike in 3.5) and Piranha Strike cannot be used in conjunction with it.
Was it just included in Sargava to provide -hit +dmg functionality to light weapon fighters still using 3.5 rules?

It's in the requirements.
Power Attack requires Strength 13 and works with a wide range of weapons. Piranha Strike swaps the Strength requirement for the feat requirement of Weapon Finesse -- which a character would need if Piranha Strike was going to be valuable at all anyway.
So a knife fighter with 8 STR and high dex (for example) can still pick up Piranha Strike for more damage.

It is not only the requirements, piranha strike is also suprior to power attack when you are using light weapons.
If you use power attack with a light weapon the damage bonus is halved (in comparison to a one-handed), which means that you will only get a +1 bonus to damage each time you take a -1 one penalty to hit. Whereas if you use piranha strike you will get a +2 bonus to damage each time you take a -1 penalty to hit.

Incorrect. Read Power Attack.

Sorry about that... just forget my last post then :P
Well, not only the requirements are different, but power attack is a requirement for other feats itself (which is the answer to the question "why not simply change the requirements of power attack?")
