You allow gravity to add extra force to your attacks.

Prerequisites: Level 1, Acrobatics 1 rank

Benefit: Whenever you attack an opponent from higher ground, or from above (such as while flying), you gain a +2 feat bonus to the attack roll, instead of the usual +1. You may only gain this bonus if attacking from higher ground than your target. This bonus is only applied to the attack (or attacks) that results specifically from your higher position.

Special: You may attempt an Acrobatics check to jump during a charge movement, and, as long as your jump reaches a height of at least five feet, you gain the bonus from Death from Above. (Attaining 5 feet of height requires either a long jump of at least twenty feet, or a high jump of at least 5 feet.)

Special:Once per round, when you declare a Full Attack Action, you may attempt an Acrobatics check as a Standard Attack action (typically using up your lowest available BAB attack). If your jump reaches a height of at least five feet, you gain the bonus from Death from Above on one attack you make that round. (Attaining 5 feet of height requires either a long jump of at least twenty feet, or a high jump of at least 5 feet.)

Special: You may use this feat when you fall, assuming you fall deliberately. Doing so does not mitigate any falling damage you may be subject to.

Normal: Attacking from higher ground grants a +1 to attack rolls, and you may not attempt to jump to gain that bonus.
