Auto Kick Attack
Hi All, how do you use the auto-kick attack (acrobatics, gymnastics) when used by a character with supernatural strength, like an undead slayer for example? Does this mean a free attack each melee using punch damage? Sorry if this is an easy question, I don't have my book with me.

Re: Auto Kick Attack
This is a poorly named ability. It's not automatic in the sense that it doesn't count as a melee action, or that always hits it target. It's automatically available at first level, whereas most characters have to wait a few levels before they get a kick attack.
Some gave all.

Seconded.
As far as damage, if that is your concern, IIRC, the accepted method is to compare the damage caused by the kick to the damage caused by a full strength punch using the creatures Supernatural PS and use whichever causes more damage raw (before SDC/MDC considerations) damage.
Example: If the kick inflicts 2D4 damage, and the Supernatural PS inflicts 1D4 MD, then the Kick would inflict 2D4 MD. If the Supernatural PS had inflicted 2D6 damage, then the kick would inflict 2D6 MD.
