point taken.
that's the way it's in the rulebook [the example with the Humakti fighting a skeleton [?] and switches from a better CC to "fight undead" IIRC.
but how could you handle "all-or-nothing" feats this way. there may not be too many, but from memory Hu's "Decapitate Foe" always gave me headaches. my players were not very satisfied when using this as standard augmentation, and if I'd decide to use it as "killing feat" vs 14 it'd be far to powerful [cf. Humakt's secret]...

[luckily I have no humakti in my new campaign]
