Hello, I would like to attract the opponents on a particular point and then attacked.

For the attack, something as similar as impressive landing.

For the attraction, perhaps a song or an other mean ?

Are there similar feat in 2nd edition with the following feats from 1st edition ? (shrapnel strike, stuning irruption)

Can you explain me with an example how function a forceful trait and critical specialization effect with an example ? For example, orc Necksplitter.

Thanks for your future answer.

The Antagonize feat can be useful for drawing attention to yourself.

Forceful means that for the second attack you make with the weapon on your turn, it deals an extra 1 point of damage per weapon die and then double that on subsequent attacks. So a basic necksplitter would deal 1d8 on the first attack, 1d8+1 on the second attack, and 1d8+2 on the third attack (plus any other bonuses like your Strength modifier). If it was a +1 striking necksplitter, it'd deal 2d8, 2d8+2, and 2d8+4.

The critical specialization is an ability that you unlock that creates an additional effect when you get a critical hit. For axes like the necksplitter, that effect is that you deal damage equal to the weapon damage dice to a creature adjacent to the primary target. So if you had a 1d8 necksplitter and rolled a 4, you'd deal 4 damage to a creature adjacent to the primary target. If it was a striking necksplitter and you rolled a 4 and a 3, you'd deal 7 damage to the adjacent creature. (Note that for the primary target, you'd double those numbers since it's a crit.)
