Single-attack Feat Stacking


Rules Questions


So, I've been reading up on combat feats with an eye towards playing a fighter for the first time in years, and have run into some questions, to wit:

Pinpoint Targeting, the Vital Strike sequence of feats, and Deadly Stroke all require the character to make a single attack, giving up their iterative attacks in exchange for (x) effect.

Assuming that the appropriate Weapon Focus/Greater Weapon Focus weapon is being used, can one: Pinpoint Target a Deadly Stroke while using Greater Vital Strike? Or is this a case of 'use one of these options?'

Thanks

No. Both Deadly Stroke and Pinpoint Targeting are special standard actions, not attack actions. They cannot be combined any more than any other standard actions can. They also cannot be combined with an attack action, as that is a separate type of standard action.

This is a case of 'use one of these options.'
