|benefit=When you [[SRD:Overrun|overrun]] a creature, you may choose to make it a "crashing attack". In a crashing attack, the collision between bodies is extremely violent, dealing 1d12 bludgeoning damage per 2 Hit Die you possess to your victim and half of that damage to you.

|benefit=When you initiate an overrun attack, you may augment it such that you deal 1d12 bludgeoning damage per Hit Die you possess to the defender in the blocking phase of the overrun. However, this also does 1d4 bludgeoning damage per Hit Die you possess to you. An overrun augmented in this manner is also known as a "crashing attack", for ease of reference.
  
The damage description above assumes that this feat is used by a Medium creature. For Large or larger creatures, the crashing attack does an additional 1d6 per two HD per size category above Medium.

Burst Through [Fighter] When I say "get out of my way", I mean "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!"Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, Improved Overrun, base attack bonus +4, must be Tiny or larger.Benefit: When you initiate an overrun attack, you may augment it such that you deal 1d12 bludgeoning damage per Hit Die you possess to the defender in the blocking phase of the overrun. However, this also does 1d4 bludgeoning damage per Hit Die you possess to you. An overrun augmented in this manner is also known as a "crashing attack", for ease of reference.

The damage description above assumes that this feat is used by a Medium creature. For Large or larger creatures, the crashing attack does an additional 1d6 per HD per size category above Medium. For Small creatures, the crashing attack instead does 1d8 damage per Hit Die; for Tiny creatures, the crashing attack instead does 1d4 damage per Hit Die. Example: A Large creature using a crashing attack would deal 1d12+1d6 damage per 2 Hit Die to its overrun target and half that much damage to itself. A Huge creature using a crashing attack would deal 1d12+2d6 damage per 2 Hit Die to its overrun target and half that much damage to itself. A Gargantuan creature using a crashing attack would deal 1d12+3d6 damage per 2 Hit Die to its overrun target and half that much damage to itself. And so on and so forth.Normal: Overrunning a creature merely knocks it prone.Special: Damage reduction applies normally to the damage inflicted by this feat — including to you. If you have damage reduction that can prevent bludgeoning damage, it will reduce the damage you sustain by using this feat.
