Melee version of Impact Critical?

[Dark Sorcerer]

I was looking for a feat for a 2 hander (great sword) fighter. I stumbled upon Impact Critical which is almost what I am looking for.

What is the melee version of this? The closest I can find is Bull Rush Strike AND tripping strike (need both melee feats to do the same thing as the ranged feat).

Looking at the requirements, a melee fighter needs 6 feats to do what the ranged fighter can do for only 2? And the Archery feat is still better than both of those feats combined.

Am I mising something? Is there a feat that allows a melee fighter to hit so hard he drives his target into the ground?

Shield Slam. For Sword/Board TWF.

Remember that there is a 5% chance Impact Critical Shot has a chance to work. Then you have to confirm against their AC + CMD. (If you're using thrown weapons with keen you could get it as high as 20% chance)

And then on top of that you need 9 BAB for the feat. Doesn't really sound that great to me. Archer Fighter gets way more fun things. You can only bull rush OR trip on a crit, not both.

AND THEN remember that prone opponents get +4 to AC against you (ranged attacks). Feat doesn't sound worth taking to me.

Felling Smash, any time you power attack you get a free trip, but yes, you need expertise and imp trip to use it, altho it only takes a +6 bab. If you take greater trip, you get a free hit after to make up for the standard action too.

Two handed fighter archetype gets it for free at some point, dont have the book in front of me to give you the quote tho.
