[edit] Notes

Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
Using this feat does not guarantee a hit. This has some strategic consequences.
- It is usually best to activate this feat for the first attack of a round (or any attack that is made at full base attack bonus).
- It may be inefficient to activate this feat against a target that has high armor class or concealment.
This feat is enhanced by the improved critical, increased multiplier, and ki critical feats, since ki damage will maximize each damage roll in the case of a critical hit. This benefit becomes more pronounced as the critical multiplier increases.
Only the base weapon damage is maximized by this feat. If the weapon deals additional variable damage, it is possible that a ki damage hit will do less than the maximum possible total damage. A ki damage hit will still do more total damage on average than other hits.
