Patient Strike and Combat Maneuvers


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Recently found this gem of a feat (in a book I already owned...). Patient Strike isn't amazing for characters with high BAB, but I love it on my Wizard.

Anyway, just doublechecking: I can use Patient Strike to preform combat maneuvers (at +2 CMB, since bonuses to attack add to CMB), right? Still has to be a maneuver that fuctions as a standard action, like sunder or disarm.


Technically, you're reading an action to attack when using Patient Strike, so it should only allow combat maneuvers that can be substituted for individual attacks--disarm, trip, sunder, and some special cases. Things like grapple or reposition normally would not be compatible.

Then I think I'm reading it right. Awesome. Thanks.


Happy sundering!
