Feats that add Vital Strike and Cleave together?


Advice


I'm trying to find a feat that I forgot to save and may have been third party now that I'm looking around.

I gave a player a feat that allowed him to Vital Strike while Cleaving, thinking it was paizo and annoyingly he didn't write down the actual feat name like I asked him to, just writing down "cleave and strike".

The only feats that I'm seeing are Weapon Trick (Two handed trick, cleaving smash) but that requires Improved Vital Strike and only gives Vital Strike damage. There is also all-consuming swing, which only works on the first target.

Are there any other feats that remotely interact with these two feats? I realize how powerful Cleave + Vital Strike is, and the answer is probably no.


That's the only one I know of. Pair it with something like CLEAVING FINISH and I'm sure you can make it work.

Actually if you had Improved Vital Strike I think you could get your full 3X VS damage on the first attack, and if it kills the enemy it activates Cleaving Finish, which would then let you get your 2X VS damage on a second enemy? Not sure about that one, but it might work?

EDIT: Is this it: VICIOUS CLEAVE?


Vicious Cleave is right. Thank you. I have no idea how I found that one d20.


I think Gorum's fighting style also helped out.


Not 100% unrealistic either. I have heard of a guy (forgot his name) that could cut three dude's heads off in one swing with a greatsword irl.

I tried typing "cleave and strike" with variants of Paizo/pfsrd/etc into google. The winner was "Pathfinder cleave and strike" (probably should have been an obvious first choice, but I think it was my 5th try =P )

Do you mean GREATSWORD BATTLER from DIVINE FIGHTING TECHNIQUE? Because that does look pretty good for a VS build (although it doesn't say anything about improved/greater Vital Strike for the initial benefit of the feat).


Given that All-Consuming Swing exists and caries a self harm penalty, it might be wise to make it a requirement for Vicious Cleave (once they have both they don't take damage when they use it).

"Greatsword Battler" is just d20pfsrd's own name for Gorum's Divine Fighting Technique, whose real name is Gorum's Swordsmanship. D20pfsrd can't use Golarion names for legal reasons, so they fudge things---w/o mentioning that they've done so, grrr.
