Exemplary Finisher

Quote:

You execute your finishing moves with spectacular flair, adding special effects to your finishers. If a Strike you make as part of a finisher hits a foe, you add one of the following effects to the Strike, depending on your swashbuckler's style.

Impaling Finisher

Quote:
You stab two foes with a single thrust or bash them together with one punch. Make a bludgeoning or piercing melee Strike and compare the attack roll result against the AC of up to two foes. One foe must be adjacent to you, and the other foe must be adjacent to and directly behind the first foe, in a straight line from your space. Roll damage once and apply it to each creature you hit. An Impaling Finisher counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty.

Braggar, Fencer and Wit ( eventually even a gymnast with reach who grabbed 2 foes and then kicks them with an impaling finisher ) seems to work on multiple targets, isn't it?

Or did I miss anything?

Lets see:

Braggart: The immunity against demoralize ends. Useful as you can only do it once a minute otherwise

Fencer: They are flat-footed until your next turn. This adds another option to the 51 options (some self inflicted) already in the CRB to cause flat-footed

Wit: They get a -2 circumstance penalty to attack you

Gymnast: All the power to you if you grab them as this wound mean action 1 grab, action 2 grab at -5 MAP - action 3 finisher at -10 MAP.

This gives you a whopping +2 (assuming a striking weapon) or +3 (assuming a greater Striking weapon) x2 targets = a total of +6 damage.

You could have done action 1 attack, action 2 attack and action 3 finisher instead for A LOT more additional damage as +4/+6.

Off course someone else could grab/trip them for you.

Or there is a special circumstance. 2 enemies on a tight rope and the Gymnast enters after them and hits them with a piercing weapon.

Well - all the power to you if you can get to finagle an enemy into this situation as a gymnast - you earned the extra damage.
