This ability may not work against some creatures or in certain circumstances as determined by the GM; for example, your weapon does not bounce off Incorporeal creatures (unless it has the ghost touch ability), it may stick to creatures with the adhesive ability, the slowing effect of fighting underwater prevents you from using this feat, and so on.

You throw a hammer repeatedly at a foe, making a loop of attacks with devastating results.

Prerequisites: BAB +6, Proficient with Light Hammer or Club

Benefit: Each time you attack the same creature after the first in an encounter, you gain +1d4 of bonus damage after the first successful hit, then 2d4, then 3d4, etc. This damage bonus continues to stack with every attack you make against the same foe within the same encounter. You gain no bonus damage on the first hit, but each successive hit thereafter. If you change targets, the bonus damage on the first target is lost.
