This is a Slayer Talent — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

Samsaran slayers often strike with deadly attacks from above. If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a creature that is unaware of his presence while he is standing on higher ground than his target, he does not have to roll sneak attack damage; instead, the sneak attack deals maximum damage. The samsaran must be standing on solid ground to use this ability.
