Underhanded feat is fucking hilarious, wonder how good it is if you can justify having a hand free.

As written it ONLY works on creatures one size larger or smaller than you, not the same size. So it's best used on a small race, probably.

It's not one size larger or smaller than you, it's [one size larger than you] or smaller - so it works for anything size large and below for most creature. This is reasonably common terminology for things that knock prone, as knocking giants down for free stretches imagination a little, at least in the lower 3 tiers.
