A good rule of thumb on feats is, if everyone would take it (or even almost everyone) it's too good.  If I played in a game with those feats every character I had would eventually take them.  -10 to hit for an instant kill?  (After all, if your foe can't walk he's as good as dead; if he can't use his weapon or cast spells he's as good as dead; if he's decapitated, he's prolly already dead.)Just my opinion.</blockquote>
