Honestly, I don't see why it couldn't be used for lethal attacks, but I'd worry about every ogre in the world taking this feat.Possibility: Dex pre-requisite. This gets over the Ogre problem -- not many ogres have a Dex of 13.  So if I added this, maybe I could let it work for lethal attacks as well.Possibility: Penalty on all attacks. Something like a -2 on all attacks for that round, since you ARE trying to cluster your hits rather than hit wherever you can.  People would complain about the stacking -2 with Two-Weapon fighting, but really, it's gonna let them take out bad guys right and left, so I'm fine with a penalty.Possibility: Not all damage stacks. This makes the feat a ton weaker, but if the feat read "Every additional hit adds half its damage to the most damaging hit you made" rather than "All damage stacks," there'd be a lot less concern about it getting too powerful.  I dunno.  That's a lot more math, though.  It could just be, "Every additional hit adds +2 to the effective damage of your first or most damaging hit for purposes of hitting the Massive Damage Threshold."Possibility: No Power Attacking. This seems somewhat arbitrary to me, and while I don't want the feat to get too powerful, I also don't see why someone shouldn't be able to suffer a penalty on his attacks from two-weaponing, another penalty on his attacks from power-attacking, and a THIRD penalty on his attacks from using this feat (if I use the penalty-to-hit rule) and stand a chance of just utterly clobbering someone.Thoughts?  Thanks for the help.-Tacky</blockquote>
