Martial Execution

Upon reaching the 15th level, Your blade is an extension of yourself, and you can freely take down even the mightiest of enemy's with a good strike.

If at least one of those hits against a creature with less then half of there hit points remaining. You can attempt a perception check (This will take a bonus action) to glance over your enemy while in combat to see vital weak spots in there armor. If your hit was a Critical hit, you have advantage on your perception check. If you rolled high or low (Gm dependent) determines weather or not the enemy has advantage, disadvantage, guaranteed success, or guaranteed failure against the saving throw. The enemy must either make a Dexterity or Constitution saving throw against your save dc. (Save dc is 8 + Proficiency bonus + Dexterity or Wisdom Modifier) or be struck down where they stand. If they fail there saving throw, they are killed outright. If they succeed they take the lowest rolled damage out of the melee attack that hit them. After this, whether they fail or succeed, your turn is ended.
