Executioner's Stance is a combat maneuver available to Warriors only.

Description

This is a Martial Stance. If a creature is killed with a two-handed weapon attack while in this stance, the wielder has a chance to maintain his momentum and continue the attack onto another creature foe in the room. This chance is 5% + 15% per rank. The secondary attack will have an AS penalty of -25 and cannot occur more than once per attack.

If the warrior fails to maintain his momentum into a second attack and has 3 more ranks of Staggering Blow, there is still a chance to knock the corpse of your slain foe into another foe in the room. If you are successful, that foe will suffer a RT penalty.
