Through methods specific to your character, they leap with tremendous force. In a round, a leaping character can jump as far as their maximum range and half as high at the jump's zenith. This action does not require a running start or provoke an attack of opportunity. It can also be used offensively. When your character lands, if there is an enemy in a threatened square, they can make a single attack against that enemy. If this attack hits, it deals an extra 3d6 + Strength modifier.

Opportunist (Ex) Action: Attack

Gain +4d6 with whatever attack was made against a sufficiently disadvantaged foe. This includes flanked foes, foes that are flat footed, or helpless foes. This will apply to multiple attacks. Whatever the primary damage type is, is the type of damage Opportunist gives. If this is done with a piercing weapon the bonus damage is piercing. With a touch spell it becomes whatever primary damage type the spell is e.g. heat damage.

The movement bonus does not stack with Haste, but the attack and damage bonus does.
