Your reaping scythe takes lives with deadly efficiency and focus.

Prerequisite:  Power Attack, Shinigami Technique, Weapon Focus (scythe), Whirlwind Attack, base attack bonus +8

Benefit: You no longer provoke attacks of opportunity when performing a coup de grace.

When wielding a scythe, you no longer take a penalty to attack rolls when using Power Attack in conjunction with Whirlwind Attack. When you use Whirlwind Attack with a scythe, you can designate one opponent that is no more than 5 feet outside of your reach; you can attack that opponent when performing the Whirlwind Attack as if it were within your reach.

Normal: Performing a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity.
