Prerequisites

bane class feature

Benefit

While a weapon you wield is under the effect of your bane class feature, you can spend a swift action to switch between dealing lethal or nonlethal damage with bane. While your bane effect allows you to deal nonlethal damage in this way, you take no penalty on your attack roll for using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage.

Normal

When using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls.
