Without actually having seen the feat it seems like it would work well with Cornugon Smash + Shatter Defenses.
Can't access it from work. ;) I'll check it out when I get home.

Boar ferocity would work as well.
If you have a good Intimidate and can't make a full-attack then it's not a big deal spending a standard to demoralize.

If it's a target that non-lethal can be done to - the Enforcer feat combined with the Blade of Mercy trait is just as easy to use as the Cornugan Smash feat, with the added benefits of being able to pick it up at lower levels and useful if the opponent has too high of an AC for power attack to be useful.
Yes. Nothing in the action economy there conflicts.
The Bugbear Feats in general are really cool.
There's another (that requires Hurtful) which lets you halve damage on a hit to increase the duration by a round, and another (which requires Intimidating Prowess) that lets you Demoralize as a Free action in the Surprise round.
Then a Grappling Feat that lets you Pin a target as a Free action if you Grapple them while Flatfooted (which I wish had existed when I picked Feats for my Tetori).
And a Feat that lets you Stagger people with a Vital Strike. Which kinda makes up for having to use Vital Strike since you can probably make it a trade-off, the enemy can't full attack next turn and you can.
There's a few pertaining to army combat. One's a neat one I might take on an Inquisitor (a Teamwork Feat that lets you partially benefit from a morale bonus an ally within 10 feet is benefiting from once. EX if a teammate is under the effects of Heroism, you can, once per the duration, add +2 to one of the things Heroism applies to).
And Chain Challenge, which lets you issue a Challenge for free against a target within 30 feet as an Immediate upon killing the target of your Challenge. Chain a number up to your Cha mod (minimum 1). Pretty rad for Cavaliers. Requires Challenge and character level 7th.
Duergar get a Feat that increases their Natural Armor boost by 2 whenever they get an enhancement bonus to Natural Armor. In conjunction with an alternate racial trait which lets them replace Enlarge Person with a new spell (Iron Skin) that gives a pretty big Natural Armor bonus (+4, +1 per 4 caster levels up to +7 at 15th) for 1 min/level. Requires Toughness.
Also a Feat that gives them extra uses of racial spell-likes (+1 extra use per racial spell-like they have, able to be taken multiple times).
It's a pretty rad book.
Ah, well, to sum up, you get a free swift action attack when you demoralize someone, but if the attack doesn't damage the opponent, then the shaken condition immediately ends.
Considering that i have been working on an intimidation build myself, something caught my attention...
Considering in my feat builds, i'm using:http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/damnation-feats/soulless-gaze-damnation
In order to intimidate above shaken and up to panicked even.
By RAW, if i use Hurtful's extra attack as a swift action and miss, I would be un-affected if my target is frightened or Panicked.
But, by RAI, seems they'd be back to normal state.
Opinion?
Any cool Gobbo feats tho?
Wish I had this one, spent my dollaroos on ACOrigins.
There's no way any of this is going to be PFS legal, is it...

Heavens no! What do you think people are? Monsters? I mean other then the fact that in Pathfinder everyone is a monster. Or monsters are people. I forget which it is actually as I get confused easily. Either way, people/monsters using feats from a Monster Codex? Who would do that?
(Warning, post contains snark.)

Of course not! That would allow martials to actually move and attack twice! We can't have any of that!
Hurtful looks like it would match well with orc weapon expertise (+1 point of non-lethal) + enforcer. With every hit you deal 1 point of nonlethal damage. By that you can intimidate via enforcer and by that get another hit via hurtful.
The Bugbear Feats in general are really cool.Thanks!
Why is it every time I like something, you made it? =p

How would this work on a charge? Would a character with a lance and spirited charge get a second x3 attack with this?
No, the lance pounce faq stated that you only get increased damage on the initial hit of any charge.
Could you use the attack gained from hurtful for a combat maneuver if you WANT the attack to deal no damage? Assuming you want to use it every turn it could be bad if your enemy is still shaken the next turn.
Why? Is there something that actually tracks whether your foe is currently shaken or not? I'm pretty sure you can still demoralize an already shaken person. I mean, it wouldn't make them more shaken but I don't think there is a downfall to it. You could make them shaken for a longer duration.

This. Also, if you have soulless gaze, you can stack fear effects from demoralize.
Why is it that when I think of the Damnation feats it reminds me of Elizabeth Hurley?
Imbicatus: I think we both just aged ourselves. It may look worse for you. ;) (I catch the reference though)
