I have selected the Area Attack Feat from the Savage Species Book Page 30. Only it doesn't state if you require an attack roll or how much time it takes up (standard action full round action etc.) :confused:

Can I Please ask for your esteemed Knowledge on this one. Thank you :)

Read the feat again.
Benefit: You can use your great size and strength to pick up a heavy object and attack an area as a standard action.

Now, the feat says nothing about making an attack roll, so it's a safe assumption that you automatically deal damage to all creatures in the area. (that's all creatures, not just enemies) Combined with the low damage (1d8 for a Huge creature) and the penalty to AC and reflex saves until your next action, I'd say that's probably balanced.
