Tactical feat

Tactical feats, or Combat feats are feats that correspond to melee special attacks requiring a DC check to succeed.

• Assassinate
• Hamstring (Has no DC)
• Quivering Palm
• Sap (Has no DC)
• Sunder / Improved Sunder
• Stunning Blow
• Stunning Fist
• Trip / Improved Trip

Many special attacks granted by class enhancements and also some Epic Destiny abilities, especially those in the Grandmaster of Flowers and Legendary Dreadnought trees, are also considered in the same category and benefit from items and enhancements which improve the DC of all tactical feats. Assassinate and Bluff are excluded.

Tactical Special Attacks

Tactical special attacks tend to scale off of the 'big four' tactical feats: Trip, Sunder, Stunning Blow, and rarely Assassinate. Bonuses which apply to these four basic Tactical Feats apply to those based upon them.

• Trip: Target makes a Reflex save vs (10 + Str mod + Trip bonus) or fall prone for up to 6 seconds. Recurring saves (at the same DC) may end this effect early. (Cooldown: 15 seconds.)
• Sunder: Target makes a Fortitude save vs (10 + Str mod + Sunder bonus) or takes a -10% AC and -25% Fortification penalty for 6 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds.)
• Stunning Blow: Target makes a Fortitude save vs (10 + Str mod + Stun bonus) or becomes stunned and Helpless for 6 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds.)
• Assassinate: Requires Assassin Tier 5: On Sneak Attack: Target makes a Fortitude save vs (10 + Rogue level + the greater of Int/Dex modifiers + Assassinate bonus) or dies. (Cooldown: 12 seconds.)

Only highest ability modifier listed is used for DC Calculation.
