Feats

Feats represent special tricks and edges that characters have acquired though training, luck, or a quirk of birth. They grant abilities and benefits in certain situations.

Types of Feats

Though most of the feats presented in this chapter are general and have no special rules governing them, some feats belong to one or more categories of feats that share special rules. A feat's type or types appear in parentheses after the feat's name. The following types of feats can be found in this chapter.

Combat Feats

Brawlers, fighters, gunslingers, swashbucklers, and warpriests can select combat feats as bonus feats. Members of other classes can take combat feats, provided they meet the prerequisites.

Panache Feats

Panache feats interact with the swashbuckler's panache class ability or the panache granted by the Amateur Swashbuckler feat. Swashbucklers can take panache feats as bonus feats.

Style Feats

Style feats were introduced in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Combat. The style feats presented in this chapter are based on fighting styles more appropriate to the brawler's rough-and-tumble combat disciplines.

As a swift action, you can enter the stance employed by the fighting style that a style feat embodies. Although you cannot use a style feat before combat begins, the style you are in persists until either you use a swift action to switch styles or the end of the combat encounter, whichever occurs first. You can use a feat that has a style feat as a prerequisite only while you are in the stance of the associated style.

The styles presented in this book follow, along with specific feat paths—feats that complement each style.

Grabbing Style: This discipline is a wrestling and grappling style that favors powerful one-handed grabs, fast repositioning of those grabbed, and the ability to move and damage one or two opponents.

Feat Path: Grabbing Style, Grabbing Drag, Grabbing Master.

Jabbing Style: This style favors rapid punches and kicks, typically while the fighter circles her foe. Many of these land in the same area, delivering more pain with each successive hit, or in debilitating areas of the body.

Feat Path: Jabbing Style, Jabbing Dancer, Jabbing Master.

Pummeling Style: Powerful and seemingly wild haymaker punches and extended kicks are the hallmark of this style. Deeply rooted in its martial philosophy is the concept that landing one mighty strike in the right area will send an opponent sprawling.

Feat Path: Pummeling Style, Pummeling Bully, Pummeling Charge.

Teamwork Feats

Teamwork feats grant significant bonuses, but they function only under specific circumstances. In most cases, these feats require an ally with the same feat to have a specific position on the battlefield. Teamwork feats provide no benefits if the given conditions are not met. Allies who are paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise unable to act do not count for the purposes of these feats. Cavaliers, hunters, and inquisitors have special class abilities that allow them to use teamwork feats even if their allies don't have those feats.

Feats that Grant Extra Uses

Feats that grant extra uses of class abilities, like Extra Channel or Extra Rage, effectively grant the affected ability a pool of additional uses each day. If you have levels in multiple classes that have the same ability (or abilities that are counted as others for the purposes of meeting feat prerequisites, like the skald's raging song counting as bardic performance), this single pool applies to all those abilities together, and doesn't grant extra uses to each one separately. You may spend this pool of uses each day on any of these abilities in whatever manner you choose.

For example, if you have levels in both barbarian and bloodrager and you take the Extra Rage feat, you gain 6 extra rounds that you can either use to rage or bloodrage or split between the two. The feat does not give both an extra 6 rounds of rage and 6 rounds of bloodrage—it gives you exactly 6 rounds each day that you can use for either one of these abilities. One day, you might use 4 of these rounds for rage and 2 on bloodrage; the next day, you might use 3 on each.

Feat Descriptions

The feats in this book are summarized on the table below. Note that the prerequisites and benefits of the feats listed in this table are abbreviated for ease of reference. See the feats' descriptions for full details.

The following format is used for all feat descriptions.

Feat Name: The line that bears the feat's name also indicates what subcategory, if any, the feat belongs to, and is followed by a basic description of what the feat does.

Prerequisite: This line lists a minimum ability score, another feat or feats, a minimum base attack bonus, a minimum number of ranks in one or more skills, or anything else required to take the feat. This entry is absent if a feat has no prerequisites. A feat can have more than one prerequisite.

Benefit: This benefit is what a feat enables the character ("you" in the feat description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once, its benefits do not stack unless indicated in the description.

Normal: This line clarifies what a character who does not have this feat is limited to or restricted from doing. If not having the feat causes no particular drawback, this entry is absent.

Special: Additional unusual facts about the feat.

Aberrant Tumor

To the surprise of others, that strange growth on you is actually your spellcasting companion.

Prerequisite: Aberrant bloodline.

Benefit: You gain a tumor familiar, as the tumor familiar alchemist discovery, with an effective alchemist level equal to the level of the class that grants your aberrant bloodline for determining the tumor familiar's abilities. If multiple classes grant you the aberrant bloodline, those class levels stack for determining your effective alchemist level.

Amateur Investigator

Your knowledge is more than plain smarts—it's inspired.

Prerequisites: Int 13, 1 rank in at least one Knowledge skill, no levels in a class that has the inspiration class feature.

Benefit: Like an investigator, you have the ability to augment your Knowledge, Linguistics, and Spellcraft checks. You gain a pool of inspiration equal to your Intelligence modifier. You can expend one use of inspiration as a free action to add 1d6 to the result of a Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft check, as long as you are trained in that skill (even if you take 10 or take 20 on that check). You make this choice after the check is rolled and before the result of the roll is revealed. You can use inspiration only once per skill check. Your pool of inspiration refreshes each day, typically after you get a restful night's sleep.

Special: If you later gain levels in a class that has the inspiration class feature, you can immediately trade this feat for the Extra Inspiration feat.

Amateur Swashbuckler (Combat)

Although you're not a swashbuckler, you have and can use panache.

Prerequisite: No levels in a class that has the panache class feature.

Benefit: You gain a small amount of panache and the ability to perform a single 1st-level swashbuckler deed. Choose a 1st-level deed from the swashbuckler's deeds class feature (you can't select opportune parry and riposte). Once chosen, this deed can't be changed.

At the start of each day, you gain 1 panache point. Throughout the day, you can gain a number of panache points, up to a maximum equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You can regain panache points as the swashbuckler's panache class feature. You can spend these points to perform the 1st-level deed you chose upon taking this feat as well as any other deeds you have gained through feats or magic items.

Special: If you later gain levels in a class that has the panache class feature, you can immediately trade this feat for the Extra Panache feat.

Animal Soul

Your close bond with an animal allows you to ignore harmful magic that cannot affect your wild side.

Prerequisite: Animal companion or mount class feature.

Benefit: You can choose not to allow spells and effects to effect you if they would not be capable of affecting both your original creature type and the animal creature type.

Anticipate Dodge (Combat)

Your knowledge of mobility and your attack prowess allow you to thwart elusive opponents.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Mobility; base attack bonus +7, brawler level 4th, or monk level 4th.

Benefit: You automatically know whether a creature you can see has a dodge bonus to its AC. You gain up to a +2 bonus on attack rolls against a target that has a dodge bonus. This bonus cannot exceed the dodge bonus of the creature you attack.

Barroom Brawler (Combat)

You have learned how to mimic the combat tricks and forms of others.

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +4.

Benefit: Once per day as a move action, you can gain the benefit of a combat feat that you do not possess for 1 minute. You must otherwise meet all of the feat's requirements.

Special: If you have the martial flexibility class feature, this feat instead grants you one additional use per day of that ability.

Battle Cry (Combat)

Your shout heartens your allies and encourages them in the fight.

Prerequisites: Cha 13; base attack bonus +5 or Perform (act, oratory, or sing) 5 ranks.

Benefit: A number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus, you can let out a battle cry as a swift action. When you do, allies within 30 feet who can hear you gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

If an ally is under the effect of this feat and fails a saving throw against a fear effect, she can choose to end the battle cry's effect on her to reroll the failed save. The ally must take the result of the reroll, even if it's lower. Each ally can use this effect only once per use of this feat.

Befuddling Strike (Combat)

You know just where to strike to temporarily send your enemy into a confused stupor.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.

Benefit: Befuddling Strike forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll—thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt. An opponent who fails this saving throw is confused for 1d4 rounds. You can attempt to use Befuddling Strike once per day for every 4 character levels you have, but you can use it no more than once per round. Constructs, incorporeal creatures, mindless creatures, plants, undead, and creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by this ability.

Believer's Boon

Your deity rewards you for your faithfulness and your steadfast worship.

Prerequisites: Wis 13, alignment must be within one step of your deity's.

Benefit: When you take this feat, choose one domain granted by your deity. You can use the 1st-level domain ability that clerics of that domain can use a number of times or rounds per day, but you can use it only once per day or 1 round per day, whichever is appropriate. Your effective cleric level in regard to this ability is 1st level. If the domain has a 1st-level ability that does not meet this specification, you cannot use it.

Special: You can take this feat twice. When you take it a second time, you choose another domain granted by your deity.

If you grossly violate the code of conduct required by your deity, your alignment shifts so that it is more than one step away from your deity's, or you no longer worship your deity, you lose access to this feat. You can regain it once you atone for your misdeeds to your deity (see the atonement spell).

Believer's Hands

Thanks to your faith, you can heal others with a mere touch of your hand.

Prerequisites: Wis 13, Believer's Boon, must be lawful good, alignment must be within one step of your deity's.

Benefit: Once per day, you can use the paladin's lay on hands ability. Your effective paladin level is equal to 1/2 your character level (minimum 1). If you already have (or later gain) the lay on hands ability, you instead gain one extra use of lay on hands each day.

Special: This feat counts as having the lay on hands ability for the purpose of qualifying for feats such as Extra Lay on Hands.

If you grossly violate the code of conduct required by your deity, your alignment shifts so that it is more than one step away from your deity's, or you no longer worship your deity, you lose access to this feat. You can regain it once you atone for your misdeeds to your deity (see the atonement spell).

Blasting Charge

You funnel the power of your bloodrage into a strike capable of erupting with arcane power.

Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +7, ability to cast 2nd-level bloodrager spells, bloodrage class feature.

Benefit: While you are bloodraging, at the end of a charge you can expend a bloodrager spell slot as a swift action to imbue your charge attack with extra power. You deal an additional 1d6 points of damage per level of the spell slot expended. This extra damage is force damage, and it's not multiplied in the case of a critical hit.

If your bloodline has a specific energy type associated with it (as the elemental or draconic bloodlines do), you can increase the damage to 1d8 points per level of the spell slot expended, and this extra damage is of that type.

Blessed Striker

You attacks are augmented by the strength of your and your deity's shared alignment.

Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +11, ability to cast divine spells, alignment must be within one step of your deity's.

Benefit: All of your attacks are treated as having whatever alignment components you and your deity share for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Special: If you grossly violate the code of conduct required by your deity, your alignment shifts so that it is more than one step away from your deity's, or you no longer worship your deity, you lose access to this feat. You can regain it once you atone for your misdeeds to your deity (see the atonement spell).

Blooded Arcane Strike (Combat)

Arcane energy guides your devastating attack.

Prerequisites: Arcane Strike, ability to cast arcane spells, bloodrage class feature.

Benefit: While you are bloodraging, you don't need to spend a swift action to use your Arcane Strike—it is always in effect. When you use this ability with Vital Strike, Improved Vital Strike, or Greater Vital Strike, the bonus on damage rolls for Arcane Strike is multiplied by the number of times (two, three, or four) you roll damage dice for one of those feats.

Bookish Rogue

Thanks to your preparation, your arcane ability is more varied than most.

Prerequisite: Minor magic rogue talent.

Benefit: By studying a spellbook for 10 minutes, you can change one spell you are able to cast using your minor magic or major magic rogue talent to one sorcerer/wizard spell of the same level contained in the spellbook. This change is permanent until you take the time to change it via this feat again.

Canny Tumble (Combat)

Your acrobatic prowess distracts your foes.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Mobility, Acrobatics 5 ranks.

Benefit: When you use Acrobatics to move through an opponent's threatened area or space without provoking an attack of opportunity from that opponent, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your next melee attack roll against that opponent and that opponent is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC, as long as you make that attack before the start of your next turn.

Channeled Blessing

Your channeled energy can deliver a warpriest's blessing.

Prerequisites: Blessings class feature, channel energy class feature.

Benefit: When you channel energy to heal, you can instead deliver a warpriest's blessing to a single willing creature (including yourself) in the area that otherwise would have been healed by your channeled energy. The blessing must be one that requires a standard action and affects one or more creatures. If the blessing would normally affect multiple targets, you affect only a single target. The target receives the blessing in place of the healing and any other effects of the channeled energy. (This application doesn't count toward your uses of blessings per day.)

Channeling Force (Combat)

You distill your channeled energy into a sheen of force that surrounds your weapon for a limited time.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least one force spell, channel energy class feature.

Benefit: As a swift action, you can expend one use of channel energy to grant your weapon attacks a bonus on damage rolls equal to the number of dice of your channel energy. This extra damage is force damage. This benefit lasts for your next three weapon attacks or until the end of the combat encounter, whichever comes first.

Confounding Tumble Deed (Panache)

You can befuddle a foe by striking a blow after tumbling.

Prerequisites: Amateur Swashbuckler feat or panache class feature, Canny Tumble, Acrobatics 7 ranks.

Benefit: When you use Acrobatics to move through an opponent's threatened area or space without provoking an attack of opportunity from that opponent and then hit that foe with a melee attack in the same round, as a free action you can spend 1 panache point to deny that foe its Dexterity bonus to its Armor Class until the end of your next turn.

Coordinated Shot (Combat, Teamwork)

Your ranged attacks against an opponent take advantage of your ally's positioning.

Prerequisite: Point-Blank Shot.

Benefit: If your ally with this feat is threatening an opponent and is not providing cover to that opponent against your ranged attacks, you gain a +1 bonus on ranged attacks against that opponent. If your ally with this feat is flanking that opponent with another ally (even if that other ally doesn't have this feat), this bonus increases to +2.

Counter Reflexes (Combat)

Your opponent's advanced training in moving around you is surpassed only by your readiness for it.

Prerequisites: Anticipate Dodge, Dodge, Mobility; base attack bonus +9, brawler level 6th, or monk level 6th.

Benefit: Opponents with the Mobility feat do not gain the dodge bonus granted by that feat when they provoke attacks of opportunity by moving out of or within your threatened area.

Counterpunch (Combat)

With deft reflexes, you capitalize on opponents' mistakes.

Prerequisites: Dex 18, Combat Reflexes, Improved Unarmed Strike, Weapon Focus (unarmed strike); base attack bonus +16 or brawler level 12th.

Benefit: Once per round, when you are fighting unarmed with both hands free and an opponent misses you with a melee attack, the opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from you. You must use an unarmed strike for this attack of opportunity.

Dazing Fist (Combat)

You know just where to strike to daze your foe.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +4.

Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Dazing Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A foe who fails this saving throw is dazed for 1 round, until just before your next turn. You can attempt to use Dazing Fist once per day for every 4 character levels you have, but no more than once per round. Constructs, incorporeal creatures, plants, undead, and creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by this ability.

Disable Dweomer

You can disable a magic item, suppressing it for a short time.

Prerequisites: Disable Device 5 ranks, Use Magic Device 5 ranks, trapfinding.

Benefit: You can use Disable Device to suppress the magic of a non-artifact magic item for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers its magical properties. A suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration of the suppression. Using Disable Device in this way takes 2d4 rounds, with a DC of 15 + the item's caster level.

Disarming Threat Deed (Panache)

Even your threats are curiously charming.

Prerequisites: Amateur Swashbuckler or panache class feature; Diplomacy 2 ranks, Intimidate 2 ranks.

Benefit: When you succeed at an Intimidate check to force an opponent to act friendly toward you, you can spend 1 panache point to cause the target to regard you with indifference when the duration of the effect expires. A target influenced in this manner is unlikely to report you to authorities.

Normal: An opponent forced to act friendly toward you by Intimidate becomes unfriendly when the duration expires, and is likely to report you to the authorities.

Disheartening Display (Combat)

Your show of prowess further demoralizes others.

Prerequisites: Dazzling Display, Weapon Focus, base attack bonus +6, proficiency with chosen weapon.

Benefit: When you successfully use Dazzling Display against any shaken, frightened, or panicked opponents, their fear increases by one step. An already panicked creature demoralized by this feat cowers. Once affected by this feat, a creature cannot be affected by it again (by you or anyone else) for 24 hours.

Distracting Charge (Combat, Teamwork)

Your ally's charge exposes an opening you can exploit.

Benefit: When your ally with this feat uses the charge action and hits, you gain a +2 bonus on your next attack roll against the target of that charge. This bonus must be used before your ally's next turn, or it is lost.

Divine Protection

Your deity protects you against deadly attacks.

Prerequisites: Cha 13, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks.

Benefit: Once per day as an immediate action before rolling a saving throw, you can add your Charisma modifier on that saving throw. As usual, this does not stack if you already apply your Charisma modifier to that saving throw. If you possess the charmed life class feature, you can instead apply Divine Protection's bonus after rolling the saving throw but before the result is revealed.

Draining Strike (Combat)

With a well-aimed strike, you cause your target to become fatigued or exhausted.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.

Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Draining Strike forces a foe that was damaged by your unarmed attack to attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. An opponent who fails this saving throw is fatigued for 1 minute or until the foe is subject to any spell or effect that heals hit point damage. If you have a base attack bonus of +14 or higher, the target is exhausted for the same duration instead. You can attempt to use Draining Strike once per day for every 4 character levels you have, but you can use it no more than once per round. Constructs, incorporeal creatures, plants, undead, and creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by this ability.

Dual Enhancement

You can enhance two weapons, or both ends of a double weapon, with a single act.

Prerequisites: Two-Weapon Fighting; divine bond (weapon) or sacred weapon class feature.

Benefit: When you use divine bond or sacred weapon to improve your weapon, you can choose to enhance two weapons or both ends of a double weapon. All weapons affected must be in hand or otherwise wielded. Any enhancement bonus you add to one of your weapons gets added to the second one at no extra cost, but weapon special abilities must be accounted for separately. For example, if you can enhance up to the equivalent of a +2 bonus, you could give both your weapons an additional +1 bonus and apply the keen weapon special ability to one of them.

Dueling Cape Deed (Combat, Panache)

You can use a simple cape to guard yourself and confound your foes.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Sleight of Hand 1 rank.

Benefit: As a move action, you can wrap a cape that you're wearing around your arm (removing it if necessary), and treat it as a buckler. If you are using the cape in this way, and an opponent misses you with a melee attack, as an immediate action you can spend 1 panache point to release your cape from your arm and entangle your foe with it. The foe can free itself by using a full-round action to escape or by destroying the cape; a typical cape has hardness 1 and 3 hit points. You can use this feat with items similar in shape and weight to a cape, such as a cloak or a curtain.

Energy Channel

You distill your channeled energy into your weapon.

Prerequisites: Channel energy class feature; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water domain or blessing.

Benefit: As a swift action, you can expend one use of channel energy to grant your weapon attacks a bonus on damage rolls equal to twice the number of dice rolled for your channel energy. This additional damage is of an energy type determined by your domain or blessing: acid (Earth), cold (Water), electricity (Air), or fire (Fire). If you have more than one of those domains or blessings, you choose one of those damage types each time you use this ability. This effect lasts for your next three weapon attacks or until the end of the combat encounter, whichever comes first.

Esoteric Linguistics

You can decipher even the most exotic of writings, including those that contain magic.

Prerequisite: Skill Focus (Linguistics).

Benefit: You can attempt a Linguistics check in place of a Use Magic Device check to activate a scroll, or in place of a Spellcraft check to identify a scroll. You must still have (or emulate) the ability score required to cast a spell of the desired level, and you cannot use Linguistics on the check to emulate the required ability score.

Evolved Companion

Your animal companion has unique abilities.

Prerequisites: Cha 13, animal companion class feature.

Benefit: When you take this feat, select a 1-point evolution other than pounce or reach from those available to a summoner's eidolon. Your animal companion gains this evolution. The animal companion must conform to any limitations of the evolution. For instance, you can give the mount evolution only to an animal companion of an appropriate size and base form.

If you gain a new animal companion, your old animal companion loses this evolution, and you can select a new 1-point evolution for the new animal companion.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, select an additional 1-point evolution for your animal companion.

Evolved Summoned Monster

The creatures you summon have evolved to have even greater abilities.

Prerequisites: Augmented Summoning, Spell Focus (conjuration), ability to cast summon monster I.

Benefit: Each time you cast a summon monster spell, you can select a 1-point evolution other than pounce or reach from those available to a summoner's eidolon. Your summoned creature gains this evolution. The summoned creature must conform to any limitations of the evolution. (For instance, only a creature with a reach of 10 feet or greater can have the pull evolution.) Evolutions that grant additional attacks or enhance existing attacks can be applied only to Medium or larger summoned creatures.

If you summon more than one creature with a single spell, only one creature gains the evolution.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, select an additional 1–point evolution for one of your summoned creatures. If you summon more than one creature, you can apply all the chosen evolutions to a single summoned creature or split them between the creatures.

Expanded Preparation

You can prepare more spells than other arcanists can.

Prerequisite: Arcanist level 1st.

Benefit: You gain an extra spell prepared of the highest level you can currently cast as an arcanist when selecting this feat. This is in addition to the number of spells you can normally prepare from your spellbook. You can instead add two spells prepared, but both of these slots must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell you can currently cast as an arcanist when selecting this feat. You must choose which benefit you gain when you take this feat, and the extra spells prepared do not change level when you gain access to higher-level spells.

Special: You can take this feat up to three times. Each time you do, you can choose either benefit.

Extended Animal Focus

Your ability to emulate an animal lingers longer.

Prerequisite: Animal focus class feature.

Benefit: Add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) to the number of minutes per day that you can use your animal focus ability.

Extra Arcanist Exploit

Your repertoire of arcanist exploits expands.

Prerequisite: Channel energy class feature.

Benefit: You can channel energy two additional times per day.

Special: If a paladin with the ability to channel positive energy takes this feat, she can use lay on hands four additional times per day, but only to channel positive energy. If a warpriest with the ability to channel energy takes this feat, he gains four additional uses of fervor per day, but can use them only to channel energy.

Extra Hex

You have learned the secrets of a new hex.

Prerequisite: Hex class feature.

Benefit: You gain one additional hex. You must meet the prerequisites for this hex. If you are a shaman, it must be a hex granted by your spirit rather than one from a wandering spirit.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you gain another hex.

Extra Inspiration

You are more able to draw upon inspiration than most.

Prerequisite: Amateur Investigator or inspiration class feature.

Prerequisite: Arcane reservoir class feature.

Benefit: You gain one additional slayer talent. You must meet the prerequisites for this slayer talent.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you gain another slayer talent.

Extreme Prejudice (Combat)

Your hatred of a particular type of creature has honed your killer instinct.

Prerequisites: Seething Hatred, sneak attack +3d6, studied target class feature.

Benefit: When you succeed at a sneak attack against a creature you selected as the target of your Seething Hatred feat, you use d8s to roll sneak attack damage instead of d6s.

Favored Enemy Spellcasting

Your spells are more effective against creatures that you especially abhor.

Prerequisite: Ability to cast spells.

Benefit: When you take this feat, choose a creature type or a humanoid subtype from the Ranger Favored Enemies table. When creatures of the chosen type attempt saving throws against your spells, they treat the spells' DCs as 1 higher. If you also have the favored enemy class feature and the chosen type is already a favored enemy of yours, such creatures treat your spells' DCs as 2 higher.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, it applies to a different creature type.

Faerie's Strike (Combat)

Ephemeral wisps of nature spirits dance about those you strike.

Prerequisites: Nature Magic or the ability to cast druid or ranger spells; Vital Strike, Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks.

Benefit: When you use Vital Strike (or Improved Vital Strike or Greater Vital Strike), the creature you hit with the attack must succeed at a Will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier) or be illuminated as if by faerie fire for 1 minute. You can use this benefit a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

Flexible Hex

Your wandering hex shifts at your command.

Prerequisite: Wandering hex class feature.

Benefit: Once per day as a swift action, you can change your wandering hex. When you change your hex, the new hex must be associated with the wandering spirit with which you are currently bonded. At 12th level, you can change either or both of your wandering hexes with the feat.

Normal: Shamans select their hexes every day when they prepare their spells and cannot change them.

Flexible Wizardry

You have learned a trick that makes your spellcasting more flexible.

Prerequisites: Spell Mastery, wizard level 1st.

Benefit: When you prepare your spells each day, you can choose to keep a number of spell slots equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) flexibly prepared. Instead of preparing a single spell within each of these slots, you can partially prepare two spells. Anytime after you prepare these flexible slots, you can spend a full-round action to finalize one slot, choosing one of the two spells to be finished and fully prepared in that slot.

Focused Inspiration

Two of your skills gain a bit more from your inspiration than others.

Prerequisites: Inspiration class feature, keen recollection class feature.

Benefit: When you take this feat, choose two skills that you either are trained in or can use untrained. You must be able to use inspiration with these skills. When you use inspiration on checks involving those skills, roll a d8 instead of a d6, or a d10 if you would normally roll a d8. If you have the true inspiration class feature, you roll twice as many such dice (2d8 or 2d10) as normal.

Force Dash

You can absorb the magic in your force spells to give you a concentrated burst of speed.

The bonus gained is equal to 10 feet × the level of the spell sacrificed. The bonus applies to all forms of movement, and it lasts 1 round. If you charge while this bonus is in effect, you do not take the normal –2 penalty to AC until the start of your next turn.

Benefit: When you are using Grabbing Style, if you use the move grapple action, you can move both yourself and a single target that you're grappling your full speed instead of half your speed.

You cannot use this feat if you are grappling two targets.

Grabbing Master (Combat)

You can grapple two foes as easily as one.

Prerequisites: Grabbing Drag, Grabbing Style, Improved Grapple; base attack bonus +12, brawler level 8th, or monk level 8th.

The effect lasts for 1 minute or until the enemy breaks free with a successful Strength check or an Escape Artist check (DC = the effect's saving throw DC), whichever comes first.

You can use this benefit a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). You can use this ability as a free action after you hit an enemy with an attack. This is a supernatural ability.

Greater Dirge of Doom

The haunting sound of sepulchral intonations chills the most stalwart adversary to its very core.

Prerequisites: Improved Dirge of Doom, ability to perform dirge of doom.

Benefit: The effect of your dirge of doom lingers with a target for 2 rounds after the creature leaves the dirge's area of effect. If you use your dirge on a creature that is shaken, it becomes frightened. If you use it on a creature that is frightened, it becomes panicked. Once affected by this feat, a creature cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

Normal: Fear effects on a creature end immediately once it leaves the area of dirge of doom. A fear effect cannot be made more extreme by dirge of doom and can be changed only to the frightened condition by the Improved Dirge of Doom feat.

Whenever you successfully perform an awesome blow combat maneuver, your opponent's movement provokes attacks of opportunity from all your allies (but not from you).

Normal: Creatures moved by awesome blow do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Improved Dirge of Doom

The foreboding tone of your dirge is especially effective at unsettling your enemies.

Prerequisite: Ability to perform dirge of doom.

Benefit: The range of your dirge of doom ability is extended to 60 feet. Additionally, if a creature is shaken from another effect, the effect of your dirge of doom is changed to frightened for that specific creature. This benefit cannot cause a creature to become panicked, even if a target is already frightened from another effect. Once affected by this feat, a creature cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

Normal: The range of dirge of doom is 30 feet. A creature that is already shaken cannot become frightened by dirge of doom.

Improved Duck and Cover(Teamwork)

Your allies' ability to protect you from damage extends to area attacks.

Prerequisite: Duck and Cover.

You possess an impressive versatility in casting that other wizards lack.

Prerequisites: Flexible Wizardry, Spell Mastery, wizard level 8th.

Your link with your companion creature allows you to share your magic with it.

Prerequisite: Ability to acquire an animal companion, an eidolon, a familiar, or a special mount.

Benefit: When you are adjacent to or sharing a square with your companion creature and that companion creature has this feat, you can cast a spell on yourself and divide the duration evenly between yourself and the companion creature. You can use this feat only on spells with a duration of at least 2 rounds. For example, you could cast bull's strength on yourself, and instead of the spell lasting 1 minute per level on yourself, it lasts 5 rounds per level on yourself and 5 rounds per level on your companion.

Once the spell is cast, you and the companion creature can move farther apart without ending the effect.

Improved Studied Combatant

Deep understanding of your foes' tics grants you the upper hand in combat.

Improved Swap Places (Combat, Teamwork)

When you switch places with your comrade, your sizes don't matter.

Prerequisite: Swap Places.

Benefit: When you and your ally use Swap Places, your ally can be up to one size larger or smaller than you, and your movement into the ally's square does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If your ally cannot fit into the space you had been occupying and there are no available adjacent squares to accommodate the rest of the ally's space, the ally must squeeze. Alternatively, as part of its movement, the ally can attempt a bull rush combat maneuver against a creature that occupies a space your ally would occupy, but this bull rush cannot move the creature more than 5 feet.

Normal: Using Swap Places requires you and your ally to be the same size, and your movement into the ally's square provokes attacks of opportunity.

Improved Weapon of the Chosen (Combat)

You gain even greater favor when you use your deity's favored weapon.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus with your deity's favored weapon, Weapon of the Chosen.

Benefit: This feat acts as Weapon of the Chosen, except you gain the benefits on all attacks until the start of your next turn. Your attacks gain a single alignment component of your deity—either chaotic, evil, good, or lawful—for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. If your deity is neutral with no other alignment components, your attacks instead overcome damage reduction as though your weapon were both cold iron and silver.

Insightful Delivery

Your knowledge of where to strike makes your poisons more deadly.

Prerequisites: Poison use class feature, studied strike +4d6.

Benefit: When you use a poisoned weapon to attempt an attack in conjunction with studied strike, the DC to resist the poison increases by half the number of your studied strike dice.

Benefit: When you damage a creature by using the studied combat class feature, you can expend one use of inspiration to roll an inspiration die and increase the damage by the number rolled.

Intercept Charge (Combat, Teamwork)

You can get in the way of an opponent charging your ally.

Benefit: When an opponent charges your ally with this feat, as an immediate action you can move up to your speed toward any square in the path of the charge. If you end your movement in the path of the charge, the opponent must stop when it becomes adjacent to you and then attack you instead of your ally. Your movement from using this feat counts toward your movement on your next turn.

Intimidating Performance

Your performance strikes fear in the hearts of foes.

Prerequisites: Ability to start a performance or a raging song as a move action, bardic performance or raging song class feature.

Benefit: When you start a performance or a raging song as a move action or a swift action, you can use a standard action to demoralize a foe, attempting a Perform check appropriate to your performance in place of the Intimidate check.

Prerequisite: Spellcraft 6 ranks.

Benefit: As a free action, you can increase the reach of your spells' melee touch attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn by taking a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn. You must decide to use this ability before you make any attacks on your turn.

You can use the power of your bloodline to surround yourself in its element.

Prerequisites: Cha 13; draconic or elemental bloodline.

Benefit: Once per day, you can surround yourself with the element associated with your bloodline. For a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), you gain resistance 5 to that energy type, and all creatures that attempt a natural weapon attack or an unarmed strike against you take 2 points of damage of that same energy type.

Pack Flanking (Teamwork)

You and your companion creature are adept at fighting together against foes.

Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise, ability to acquire an animal companion.

Benefit: When you and your companion creature have this feat, your companion creature is adjacent to you or sharing your square, and you both threaten the same opponent, you are both considered to be flanking that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning.

Finding just the right pressure point, you paralyze your foe with a single hit.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +14.

Paralyzing Strike forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. An opponent who fails this saving throw is paralyzed for 1 round, until just before your next turn.

Constructs, incorporeal creatures, plants, undead, and creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by this ability.

Regardless of your size, the critical threat range and critical multiplier of this attack are 20/×2, and they are not affected by Improved Critical, the keen weapon special ability, or similar effects. If the attack hits, you can attempt a combat maneuver check to knock the target prone as a free action.

Riving Strike (Combat)

When you infuse your weapon with arcane might, your attacks make foes more susceptible to magic.

Prerequisites: Arcane Strike, ability to cast arcane spells.

Benefit: If you have a weapon that is augmented by your Arcane Strike feat, when you damage a creature with an attack made with that weapon, that creature takes a –2 penalty on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. This effect lasts for 1 round.

The weapon must be one appropriate for your size. You do not gain this benefit while fighting with two weapons or using flurry of blows, or any time another hand is otherwise occupied.

Spiritual Guardian

Your spiritual guardians are unusually powerful.

You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll; thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt. You can attempt to use this feat once per day for every 4 character levels you have, but no more than once per round. Constructs, incorporeal creatures, plants, undead, and creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by this ability.

Benefit: When you take this feat, choose one type of animal to emulate from those given in the hunter's animal focus class feature. Once per day, you or your animal companion (if you have one) can gain the benefit of that animal focus for 1 minute. Treat your character level as your hunter level for the purpose of determining the benefits granted by your chosen animal focus.

Special: If you gain levels in a class that has the animal focus class feature, when you gain that feature you gain 1 additional minute of use each day of your animal focus class feature.

Benefit: Add your Charisma modifier instead of your Wisdom bonus to Will saves. If you have a Wisdom penalty, you must apply both your Wisdom penalty and your Charisma modifier.

Stouthearted

You fight back your fear by voicing the song in your heart.

Prerequisite: Raging song class feature.

Benefit: While you're maintaining a raging song, if you fail a saving throw against a fear effect, you can expend a round of performing to reroll your saving throw as an immediate action. You must keep this second result, even if it's lower.

The bonus on damage rolls is precision damage, and is not multiplied on a critical hit. Once affected by this feat, a target cannot be affect by your use of it again for 24 hours.

Surprise Maneuver

Your maneuvers are devastating against disadvantaged foes.


Prerequisites: Combat Expertise; sneak attack +3d6 or studied strike +3d6.

If you succeed at the feint, you can make an additional feint attempt against a foe that is adjacent to the first one and also within reach.

Special: If you have the Improved Feint feat, you can use this feat as a move action instead.

Twist Away

Your quick reflexes and dexterous movements make up for your lack of stamina.

Prerequisite: Evasion.

Benefit: While you are wearing light armor or no armor, if you are forced to attempt a Fortitude saving throw, you can use an immediate action to instead attempt a Reflex saving throw (at the same DC). If you succeed at this saving throw and the attack has a reduced effect on a successful save, you avoid the effect entirely. Whether the saving throw is successful or not, you are staggered until the end of your next turn. If you are prevented from becoming staggered, you can't use Twist Away , nor can you ignore the staggered condition from Twist Away or remove it early.

Your call to your deity imbues you with a temporary blessing.

Prerequisite: Mystery or domains class feature.

Benefit: Choose two warpriest blessings when you take this feat. Each of these blessings must be tied to a domain granted by your deity or to one of the two domains that represent your spiritual inclination and abilities. Twice per day, you can call upon the minor blessing from one or the other of your chosen blessings. This ability otherwise acts like the warpriest blessings class feature. Your effective warpriest level is the highest level that you have in the class that has the mystery or domains class feature.

Weapon of the Chosen (Combat)

The influence of your deity guides your favored weapon.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus with deity's favored weapon, must worship and receive spells from a deity.

Benefit: As a swift action, you can call upon your deity to guide an attack you make with your deity's favored weapon.

You can choose to use this ability as a free action after you hit the target with the attack. This is a supernatural ability.

Wounded Paw Gambit (Combat, Teamwork)

Your enemy sees you as an easy mark, but doesn't notice your allies poised to shoot.

Prerequisites: Broken Wing Gambit, Bluff 5 ranks.

Benefit: Whenever you use Broken Wing Gambit and an opponent attacks you as a result, each ally who has this feat and is within 30 feet of that opponent can attempt a ranged attack against it as an immediate action. The ally's ranged weapon must be in hand, loaded, and ready to be fired or thrown in order to make this attack possible.

An ally who has this feat and Broken Wing Gambit can instead use Broken Wing Gambit to attempt an attack of opportunity against the foe, but cannot attempt both that attack of opportunity and this ranged attack.
