Greater Called Shot

Greater Called Shot says

Quote:

Whenever you make an attack, you can choose to replace that attack with a called shot. You can make multiple called shots in a single round. Each additional called shot after the first made in the same round takes a –5 penalty. In addition, a called shot that deals half the creature’s hit points of damage (minimum 40) is a debilitating blow.

With this feat is it possible to make a called shot using Vital Strike, or does it only work on normal attacks?

As worded, yes.

RAI, probably less so...

Quote:

Normal: You can make only one called shot in a round as a standard action. A called shot that deals 50 points of damage is a debilitating blow.

and Imp CS says

Quote:

Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on attack rolls when making a called shot. When taking a full-round or standard action that gives you multiple attacks, you can replace a single attack with a called shot. You may only attempt one called shot per round.

Normal: You can make one called shot per round as a standard action.

So I'd say the intent is to allow multiples per round, but RAW says an attack, which includes AoOs...

but would still suffer from
