Selectable feat

When you are adjacent to a foe, as a full-round action, you can take a full-attack action to make melee attacks against that foe and move yourself into advantageous positions for your subsequent attacks. At the start of this full-attack action, you can take a 5-foot step, as long as you end in a space that is adjacent to the foe. Alternatively, you can forgo this initial 5-foot step.

Before each subsequent attack of this full-attack action, you can make a 5-foot step into any other space adjacent to your foe. If you successfully hit your foe with an attack during this full-attack action, you are considered to be flanking the foe with your allies for your next attack against that foe. You can make 5-foot steps between attacks during this full-attack action even if you have already taken a 5-foot step in this round (including the 5-foot step taken at the start of this full-attack action). You cannot take any other movement in the same round that you make 5-foot steps with this feat.
