If the creature hits a corporeal opponent smaller than itself with an awesome blow, its opponent must succeed on a Reflex save (DC equal to damage dealt) or be knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of the attacking creature's choice and fall prone. The attacking creature can only push the opponent in a straight line, and the opponent can't move closer to the attacking creature than the square it started in. If an obstacle prevents the completion of the opponent's move, the opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage, and the opponent stops in the space adjacent to the obstacle.

Battle Howl

Type: General / Fighter [Maneuver]
Prerequisite: BAB +3
Description: Once per turn, you may let out a battle cry during a charge action. The target of the charge makes a Will save of DC 10 + your CHA modifier + 1 for every five ranks in the Intimidate skill. If they fail, they get -2 to hit for 1d4 rounds.
Use: Selected

Blinding Strike

Type: Rogue
Prerequisite: BAB +2
Description: As a full attack action, you may make a single attack using your best attack bonus. If you hit, the opponent makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/5 of your hit dice + 1/5 of your rogue levels + # of sneak attack dice) for 1d4 rounds. This strike only works once per turn and not on a creature previously hit with Blinding strike within that turn.
Use: Selected

Notes on Blinding Strike: This functions as a button you press with a 45 second cooldown. It applies the Blind on-hit effect to your equipped weapon. You can only fire one on-hit effect at a time so using this simultaneously with something that works similarly (Like Expose Weakness) means that in the first attack flurry, one will fire, and the other will fire in the second. Pressing the button breaks stealth so make sure you apply it to your weapon before hiding. You can pre-load it onto a weapon and it will persist. You can then use it again immediately once the first use is consumed. Doing this will stop your attack flurry however, so it is usually not worth doing. This feat can be taken as a fighter bonus feat and does not require rogue levels to do so but it will have an abysmal DC due to the reliance of the DC on rogue levels and sneak dice.

A standard popular rogue build of 19 rogue/8 assassin/3 bodyguard will end up with a DC of 10 + 3 (from rogue levels, rounded down) + 6 (from character levels) + 17 (from sneak dice) = 36.

Brutal Strike

Type of Feat: General, Fighter
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Strength 13, Base attack bonus +6
Specifics: If you use your Power Attack feat to increase your damage with a bludgeoning weapon, you can attempt a brutal strike. You must declare your intention before making your attack. If the attack hits and your opponent takes damage, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your extra damage from the Power Attack feat on the attack) or be sickened for 1 round. You can use this feat once per round during your attack action.
Special: This feat cannot be used against a creature that is not subject to extra damage from critical hits. A fighter can select Brutal Strike as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Chiontar Seagull

Type: General / Fighter [Maneuver]
Prerequisite: Dex 14
Description: As a full round action, you may make a Tumble check vs the opposed Sense Motive or Spot DC of your opponent. If you succeed, you get a free melee attack against an opponent who loses their DEX bonus to AC. If you fail the check, you are knockeddown and may not attack for one round.

Deadeye Shot

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Base Attack Bonus + 4
Specifics: By firing just as your ally connects with a blow, you take advantage of the distraction to strike the same enemy when his guard is ruined. If you ready a ranged attack to occur when an ally strikes a particular target, and your ally succeeds, that target loses his Dexterity bonus to AC against your attack.

Flensing Strike

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus Kama, Exotic Weapon Proficiency

The DC is increased by 2 if you are wielding two kamas (creatures wielding more than two kamas gain no additional bonuses). The target adds his natural armor bonus, if any, as a bonus on this saving throw. A target that fails the saving throw is wracked with pain, receiving a -4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, and checks for 1 minute. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits, and creatures with a special immunity to pain are not susceptible to this feat.

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Dexterity 15, Weapon Focus (longbow), Lightning Reflexes

Use: Selected

Low Blow

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +4, Mobility
Specifics: As a full-round action, you can enter an area occupied by an opponent who is at least one size category larger than you.

Use: Selected

Staggering Strike

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +6, Sneak attack
Specifics: If you deal damage with a melee sneak attack, you can also deliver a wound that limits your foe's mobility. For 1 round, your target is treated as if it were staggered, even if its nonlethal damage doesn't exactly equal its current hit points. A target can resist this effect by making a successful Fortitude save (DC equal to damage dealt). Multiple staggering strikes on the same creature do not stack. This feat has no effect on creatures not subject to sneak attack damage.

The DC of this check is increased by 2 for every nearby enemy attacking you. If the opponents spot skill has five more ranks than his sense motive skill, that skill is used to determine the DC instead. In that case the DC total suffers a -4 penalty however.
