Improved Awesome Blow

(Combat)

You are skilled at sending your opponents flying.

Prerequisites

Strength 13, Awesome Blow or Awesome Blow class feature

Benefit

You receive a +2 bonus on checks to perform an Awesome Blow combat maneuver. You also gain a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to perform an Awesome Blow combat maneuver against you. Whenever you successfully perform an Awesome Blow combat maneuver, your opponent's movement provokes attacks of opportunity from all your allies (but not you).

Normal

Creatures moved by Awesome Blow do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Combat Trick

If you have a Stamina pool, the following Combat Trick may be used with this feat.

When a creature attempts an awesome blow combat maneuver against you, you can spend up to 3 Stamina points to increase your Combat Maneuver Defense against that combat maneuver by an amount equal to the number of Stamina points you spent. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Awesome Blow.
