Benefit: The Perfect Clarity of Mind and Body feat enables the use of three tactical options.

On your next turn, you gain a +30-foot bonus to your land speed and a +2 bonus to AC as you burst across the battlefield. You can make a single attack after moving in this round, if you don't move more than double your modified speed.
- Expert Mind: To use this option, you must first defeat an enemy in a duel of wills (see page 27, Tome of Battle). On your next turn, you gain a +4 morale bonus on any roll you make to disarm, feint, or trip that enemy.
- Press the Advantage: To use this option, you must damage, disarm, or trip an opponent. On your next turn, you can make a DC 20 Intimidate check against your opponent as a free action If this check succeeds, your foe takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round.
