: A fighter with this tactic can, once per encounter, make a melee or ranged attack against an opponent as a standard action. If the attack hits, they inflict full normal damage and the target gains the [[Sickened]] status condition for one round.

It is possible to combine this tactic with Smash Magic if desired, in which case the standard action attack does normal damage twice, which is added together for purposes of overcoming Resistance. | ||

: If affected by a | : If affected by a supernatural or spell-like ability which lays a status condition, inflicts a poison or other affliction, or any other ongoing effect, the fighter may choose to delay the effect as a free action until the end of their next turn. If, during this time, the fighter is hit by another supernatural or spell-like ability, they may choose which one affects them immediately and which one is delayed. This ability cannot be used to delay an effect more than once (i.e. you can't perma-delay something by re-delaying it every round; it always takes effect at the end of your next turn). | ||

If the attack hits, it does full normal damage and the target gains the [[Prone]] condition. Ankle Smash may be used on the same attack as Smash Magic. Note: If you use Ankle Smash and Smash Magic, you do full normal damage for the attack used, twice. Add the damage together for purposes of overcoming damage resistance. If the fighter is at least 21st level, Ankle Smash inflicts the [[Splayed]] condition until the start of the fighter's next turn, instead. The fighter must declare they are using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. | ||

The fighter must declare he is using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. It is possible to combine this tactic with either Gut Shot or Ankle Smash, if desired. | ||
