OK I seem to remember some time back in my 3e/3.5 gaming that one of my characters had a feet or something that allowed him to not need to roll damage for his weapon. I still needed to roll to hit but not damage instead of the weapon doing 1D8+4 it would do 12 points with every hit yet I cant seem to find the feet, ability or what ever it was that allowed it. Im currently playing in a game and would love to have this ability again but cant find it and my GM wont allow anything unless I can find the original source material. Does anyone know of such a feet and where I could find it? Does anything like this exist in pathfinder?
Thanks for the help.
Tenser's Deadly Strike from 2E does the same thing. No crits, however.

Hmm, I don't think maximum damage feet would be overpowered for a normal person because unarmed strikes do 1d3, and 3 damage isn't really so much. They might be over the top for a brawler or a monk though.
Oh, and can't forget the kensai/weapon master PrC that gets level/day in maximum damage on attacks.

Furious Finish can do what your asking for. There's also Measured Response, which lets you take the average rounded down at the cost of having to take a feat, on average doing that damage anyway, and having to be the slave to a higher power.
Pretty much what Aelryinth said... The Kensai archetype of the Magus can maximize its weapon damage...

Most kensai are only doing 1d6 for base weapon damage. Much more effective to spend two points from the arcane pool and increase the critical multiplier.
Only if you use a scimitar....
The Kensai is no requirement on weapon other than being 1 handed and martial or exotic... and the iconic weapon for a Kensai is an agile Katana... which is d10....
Katanas are 1D8 with the 18-20 multiplier; Bastard Swords are 1D10 with the 19-20 multiplier.
Even if you decided to go with size-bumped damage dice, Katanas (or anything that doesn't touch or start at 1D10) are a poor choice for such a path.

you cant make an agile katana
This enhancement can only be placed on a melee weapon which is usable with the Weapon Finesse feat.
katana isnt finessable
You'd have to take Graceful Slash (katana), and EWP (katana), but you can do it.

found what i was looking for....
Maximize Strike [Metacombat] Hit the weak point for maximum damage!
Prerequisites: BAB +2
Benefit: By taking a -6 penalty on your attack you can deal maximum weapon damage. This does not apply to touch attacks, or damage that is not an aspect of the weapon (such as sneak attack).
Example: A fighter swings his flaming greatsword (2d6+10 strength plus 1d6 fire damage). If he hits, he deals 22 damage and 6 fire damage.
Special: You may take metacombat feats as fighter bonus feats.
Feet are usually located on the ends of legs. There are probably some aberrations that break that standard, though.
