Rapid Death Attack [General]
Lacking the time to fully study your target in the heat of battle, you use your keen intellect to more quickly spot a fatal weak point.Prerequisites: Death Attack class feature, Spot: 10 ranks, Intelligence: 16 or higherBenefit: The regular rules for Death Attack all still apply as normal, with the following change: You may shorten the number of rounds used to study your victim, to a minimum of one round. For each round you shorten your study, subtract 3 from the DC of the Fortitude save against death or paralysis.
Example: Amy the Assassin has 5 levels of Assassin and an Intelligence modifier of +5. She wants to death attack her target, but only has one round before her target becomes aware of her. She shortens her study time to 1 round, then makes her attack the following round while her target is still flat-footed. She hits her target, who must now succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save (10 + 5 levels of Assassin + 5 Int modifier -6 shortening study time by two rounds) or become either paralyzed or dead.Normal: An Assassin must study a target for 3 rounds before making a Death Attack attempt.Special: A Fighter may select this feat as a bonus feat, so long as he meets the prerequisites.
