Prequisites: Bab 5+
Improved Unarmed combat, Stunning Fist, Improved Bull Rush

When using Stunning Fist, the user can force the the target back 5 feet as if the user has used a bull rush and a charge attack with penalties and bonuse that applies with a charge attack without moving 10 feet. Target takes normal damage, but the Fort save will not be for being stunned. The save will be use to see if the target gets pushed back 5 feet. The user may aslo add 2x their strength mod to their unarmed damage if any to the attack.

Special: If the user has Sudden Strike or Sneak Attack ability, they may apply their bonus damages when they use the 1 inch Punch, but they do not add 2x their strength mod to the damage rolls.

Any thoughts on this

01-24-07, 07:18 PM Fine, but change the name. The one inch punch wasn't really designed to push people back in the first place. It's too modern-esque anyway, I'm not gonna start call Ki Blast Hadouken, so why not give this an original name.

How about using the Bull Rush text and base it on some of the other Stunning Fist substitutes?

Recoiling Strike [Fighter, General]

Prerequisites: Str 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush

Benefit: Declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a missed attack roll ruins the attempt). If you hit your target, make an opposed Strength check. You each add a +4 bonus for each size category you are larger than medium, or a -4 penalty for each size category you are smaller than medium. You (but not your opponent) get a +2 bonus as if you were charging, even if you did not initiate this attack as part of a charge. The defender gets a +4 bonus if he has more than two legs or is otherwise exceptionally stable, such as a dwarf.
If you win the Strength check, your opponent is pushed back 5 feet, as if you succeeded in a Bull Rush attempt against that opponent. Unlike a normal Bull Rush, you may not move with the defender, nor push him more than 5 feet.

Special: A fighter may select this feat as one of his bonus feats.
