I count three different actions myself (We aren't in BRP anymore, Dorothy). While they could be performed at roughly the same time (multiple attack penalties notwithstanding), the benefits of weapon destroyer feat still doesn't count when smashing the shield and decapitating the lunar IMO. And so forth for the other feats. I don't have a problem with one or two feats being piled on this way, I just think that allowing all active feats to count is wrong.

The time required is only eight rounds. I'm sure many Humakti could find this amount of time to prepare before combat at least some of the time. Do their opponents still deserve death?
