Clustered Shot Melee Option


Advice

Silver Crusade

So, I've been working on my 9th level Melee fighter and looking for a feat that helps me bypass DR a bit (I've got everything but the alignment DR passed by gear, but I won't have enough gold for the Alignment DR for another level, due to some other purchases).

I stumbled across the feat "Clustered Shot" which lets you add up all of your damage against a target from a full ranged attack and apply against the opponent's DR at once. This seems like a really good feat for Archers, and I could easily take it (I have point blank shot, I switch hit to take care of flyers and immobile mosters with reach)

But I was wondering if anyone knows of a melee version of this feat (other than Penetrating Strike, which isn't available until 12)?

As far as I know, penetrating strike is your only option.

What Cheapy said. Archers on average do less damage per shot than melee characters do per swing and were traditionally more heavily impacted by DR, so Clustered Shots was made available a bit earlier than Penetrating Strike.

cool, thanks guys.


Has this changed at all since 2013? I'm wondering if we've got a melee clustered shot yet.

There is pummeling style. it only works for unarmed strikes, mind, but with that limitation its rather wonderful.
