Stance
| Level: | Open Tome 8 |
| Prerequisites: | Three Open Tome techniques |
| Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Stance |
Your exhaustive studies into the anatomy of living creatures has given you a deep understanding of how best to dismantle them.
While you maintain this stance, all of your melee weapon attacks deal an additional 1d6 precision damage to identified creatures. Each time you make a successful melee attack against a specific creature, your next attack deals an additional 1d6 precision damage. This additional damage stacks. So, the fourth successful attack against the same creature while maintaining this stance would deal 4d6 additional precision damage.
You must make at least one successful melee attack against a target creature each round to maintain this additional precision damage. If you fail to make a successful attack or end this stance, then you immediately lose the additional precision damage.
