Sample Feat from The Noble Wild by Lee Garvin.

Following is one of the many new Feats featured in the upcoming Noble Wild! Several of these are species-specific but can be taken as Fighter bonus feats by members of the species who have advanced in that class.

Death Roll [Species]
You can drag an opponent into deep water to drown them or twist their limbs apart.

Prerequisites: Crocodilian, Improved Grab.

Benefit: When fighting in water, you can drag a target into deep water and roll them over and over, until they drown. Once you successfully grapple a foe, you may begin to roll under the water. In addition to taking grapple damage each turn, the target must also make Fortitude tests to keep holding its breath, with a DC of 10 plus your character level. If the target fails this test, or they simply run out of breath, they must then attempt to avoid drowning per the core rules.

While on land, you can use the death roll to deal a significant amount of torque damage by latching onto a target's body part and then twisting until it comes off. To do this, you can elect to take a -4 penalty to your Grapple check in order to attempt the death roll attack. If the attack is successful, the target is dealt twice the normal grapple damage (including any Strength bonus).
