In a feat of speed and precision, you lash out at each nearby enemy.

Prerequisites: Level 16, Combat Expertise (Feat), Dodge (Feat), Mobility (Feat), Spring Attack (Feat)

Related: Scirocco (Feat), Whirlwind Attack, Improved (Feat)

Benefit: As a full-attack action, you can forego your regular attacks and instead make one melee touch attack at your highest attack bonus against each opponent within your melee reach. You must make a separate attack roll against each opponent. You then roll your normal melee damage once, and apply that damage to all enemies you successfully hit.

When you perform a Whirlwind Attack, you also forfeit any bonus attacks you might normally get during a full-attack action, such as that granted by the Haste spell. Remember that a full-attack action replaces your Standard Action and Move Action, but leaves you with your Swift Action. You may also perform any free actions, attacks of opportunity, and up to one immediate action, as normal, during that round.
