Maneuvers
As an action while flying, you can use the Dash action. If you move at least 3 meters in a straight line angled downwards toward a creature, you can make an Attack action with a melee weapon attack against it.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and you don’t provoke opportunity attacks when you fly out of the creature’s reach.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.
As an action, make a melee weapon attack against a creature after you move at least 3 meters straight toward it.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and if the creature is your size or smaller, it must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or you knock it prone.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage and target a creature of a larger size for each additional stamina die expended.

If you fail to Overrun by 4 or less, the creature takes half as much bludgeoning damage, but isn’t knocked prone.
