In addition, the spell concludes with a mighty thunderclap that stuns all creatures that take damage from the spell for 1 round unless they succeed on a Fortitude save, then knocks stunned creatures prone unless they succeed on a Reflex save (both saves at the same DC as the base spell). Channeling the three thunders is costly, though, and you are automatically dazed for 1 round after doing so. A three thunders spell uses a spell slot of the spell's normal level. In addition, its descriptor changes to include both energy types—for example, a _lightning bolt_ of the three thunders is an evocation (electricity, sonic) spell. ``` @@ --- Feat: Borne Aloft Tags: Reserve Summ: You can channel the magic of the winds to briefly grant you flight.

Prereq: Aquatic elf or water genasi, base Will save +2. --- !! ``` ## Breathing Link *You can allow a person adjacent to you to breathe water.* **Prerequisite:** Aquatic elf or water genasi, base Will save +2. **Benefit:** As a free action on your turn, you can select one creature within 5 feet of you and give that creature the ability to breathe water as easily as you do. This supernatural ability renews automatically for that creature until you direct the ability to another creature or withdraw your power from it (a free action). The creature's ability to breathe water ends immediately if you are separated by more than 5 feet or if you die, at which point the creature begins to drown if it is still underwater. This ability does not hamper the creature's ability to breathe air, nor does it change the creature's ability (or inability) to swim. **Special:** You can select this feat more than once. Each time you take this feat, you can affect an additional creature with this ability. All such creatures need to remain within 5 feet of you (not each other). If one creature exceeds the range of this power, its subsequent distress has no effect on the other creatures you are helping. ``` @@ --- Feat: Bright Sigil Tags: Racial Summ: You have established a greater degree of control over your sigils.

When you concentrate, you can emit strong illumination from the glowing symbols that surround your head. **Prerequisite:** Illumian **Benefit:** As a standard action, you can increase the illumination from your illumian sigils to provide a bright glow. Your sigils shed illumination equivalent to a _daylight_ spell. The brighter light lasts as long as you concentrate, and for 1 round thereafter. **Normal**:: An illumian's sigils ordinarily emit a 5-foot radius of shadowy illumination, equivalent to a candle. ``` @@ --- Feat: Broken One's Sacrifice Tags: Summ: Your dedication to Ilmater's philosophy has given you the power to take attacks directed at others. Prereq: Wis 13, member of the Broken Ones monk order --- !! ``` ## Broken One's Sacrifice *Your dedication to Ilmater's philosophy has given you the power to take attacks directed at others.* **Prerequisite:** Wis 13, member of the Broken Ones monk order **Benefit:** As an immediate action, you can intervene on behalf of an adjacent ally (of your size or smaller) who is under attack. When you activate this feat, you and the ally switch spaces. If there is not enough space for this to occur, you cannot activate the feat. Then, you suffer the harmful effect as if you were the intended target; the ally is unaffected by it. In addition to the obvious harmful effect this has upon you, this action is a drain on your personal energy. Once the effect of the intervention is resolved, you become fatigued. You cannot use this feat if you are exhausted or if you are immune to fatigue. You can choose to activate this feat after the success or failure of the harmful effect is determined, but you must activate it before the extent of the effect is determined and/or applied to the ally. Example: If an adjacent ally is attacked, you could wait until after the attack roll (and confirmation roll: if the attack is a critical threat) is made to activate the feat, but you would have to activate it before damage is rolled. If the adjacent creature also benefits from a miss chance, you could wait until after that roll was made to activate the feat. Example: If an adjacent creature is within the area of a _lightning bolt_ spell, you could wait until the creature rolls its saving throw (and checks its spell resistance, if any), but you would have to activate the feat before the spell's damage is rolled. If an adjacent creature is targeted by an attack that deals a fixed amount of damage, such as a maximized _magic missile_ spell, you would choose to activate this feat after the spell hit the target, but before damage was applied. By activating this feat, you give up any opportunity to avoid the harmful effect normally allowed by a saving throw, spell resistance, Ac, or concealment. If the effect allows a saving throw or spell resistance, you automatically fail the save or spell resistance check. If the effect requires an attack roll, it automatically hits you (and if it scored a critical hit, it automatically scores a critical hit on you), even if you would normally benefit from a miss chance against the attack. Any immunities or resistances you have apply normally; for example, if you are immune to critical hits, an attacker can't score a critical hit on you just because he scored one on the ally. If you can't physically interact with or manipulate objects (for instance, if you are incorporeal or in gaseous form, or if either you or the ally, but not both of you, are ethereal), you can' switch places with the ally and thus can't activate this feat. It should go without saying, but if you are incapable of taking an action (dazed, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, and so on), you can't use this feat. ``` @@ --- Feat: Bronze Dragon Lineage Tags: Draconic Summ: You have tapped into your bronze dragon blood and can channel arcane energy to repel foes.

Each opponent within 30 feet of you must begin its next turn by moving at least 5 feet (1 square) away from you. The direction of movement doesn't matter, as long as it takes the foe farther from you than the square in which it started. Unless the enemy designates the movement as a 5-foot step, this movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. A successful Will save (DC 10 + the spell slot's level + your Cha modifier) negates this effect. This is a mind-affecting enchantment (compulsion) effect. ``` @@ --- Feat: Brutal Strike Tags: Summ: You can batter foes senseless with your mace, morningstar, quarterstaff, or flail.

You must declare your intention before making your attack.

You can attempt to manifest your powers against targets that are sheltered behind a wall or force effect. Your power briefly skips through the Astral Plane to bypass the barrier. The strength and thickness of the barrier determine your chance of success. To successfully bypass the barrier with your power, you make a Psicraft check against a DC equal to 10 + the hardness of the barrier + 1 per foot of thickness (minimum 1). Assign a hardness of 20 to barriers without a hardness rating, such as force effects (or a _wall of ectoplasm_). Force walls or _walls of ectoplasm_ are assumed to have less than 1 foot of thickness unless noted otherwise. If a power requires line of sight (which includes most powers that affect a target or targets instead of an area), you cannot manifest it as a burrowing power unless you can somehow see the target, such as with _clairvoyant sense_.

Prereq: Any metamagic feat --- !! ``` ## Chain Spell (Metamagic) You can cast spells that arc to other targets in addition to the primary target. **Prerequisite:** Any metamagic feat **Benefit:** Any spell that specifies a single target and has a range greater than touch can be chained so as to affect that primary target normally, then arc to a number of secondary targets equal to your caster level (maximum 20). Each arc affects one secondary target chosen by you, all of which must be within 30 feet of the primary target, and none of which can be affected more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum. If the chained spell deals damage, the secondary targets each take half as much damage as the primary target (rounded down) and can attempt Reflex saving throws for half damage (whether the spell allows the original target a save or not). For spells that don’t deal damage, the save DCs against arcing effects are reduced by 4. For example, if a 10th-level wizard normally casts _cause fear_ at DC 14, a chained _cause fear_ could target a goblin chieftain at DC 14 and up to ten of his nearby guards at DC 10. A chained spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level. ``` @@ --- Feat: Chain Power Tags: Metapsionic Summ: You can manifest powers that arc to hit other targets in addition to the primary target.

When casting an offensive spell with an energy subtype—acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic—you can invest the spell with a portion of the city's spirit. In most cases, this investment is gritty and spectacular, drawing dirt, gravel, nails, and other nearby detritus into the spell effect. In other cases, the investiture is much more subtle, often merely changing the look of the spell. Only half the damage from a spell with the appropriate subtype is considered energy damage, and is thus subject to resistances or immunities. The remainder comes from the city itsElf subtype, and is not subject to spell or energy resistances or immunities. This investiture only occurs for spells cast within urban environments, defined as any area above the size of a small town (_Dmg_ 137). For example, a wizard uses City Magic to cast a _fireball_ at a creature with resistance to fire 15. The damage roll is 20, half of it fire damage and half “city.” Thus, the target takes 10 points of “city” damage instead of 5 points of fire damage. This feat is useless to spellcasters who cast their spells in a nonurban environment as defined above.

Add +2 to the save DC of cooperatively cast spells and +1 to caster level checks to beat the target's spell resistance (if any), using the higher base DC and level check of either caster. A cooperative spell uses up a spell slot of the same level as the spell's actual level. **Special:** For each additional caster with this feat casting the same cooperative spell simultaneously, the spell's save DC and the bonus on the caster level check both increase by 1. When more than two spellcasters cooperatively cast a spell, each must be adjacent to at least two other casters involved in the casting. For example, two wizards and two sorcerers standing in a circle all have Cooperative Spell. The first three in the initiative order ready an action to cast _fireball_, casting the spell when the fourth does. The base DC of the spell's save is equal to the highest save DC among the cooperative casters (as determined by relevant ability scores, other feats, special abilities, or items) +4 (+2 for the first cooperative caster and +1 for each of the other two). As well, whoever has the highest caster level determines the base caster level check, which gains a +3 bonus (+1 for each cooperative caster). ``` @@ --- Feat: Coordinated Shot Tags: Combat Summ: You are extraordinarily talented at making ranged attacks past your allies.

A dark pact provides the creature with unholy energy.* **Prerequisite:** Any evil alignment **Benefit:** This feat adds the evil descriptor to a spell-like ability. Furthermore, if the spell-like ability deals damage, half of that damage (rounded down) is unholy damage. For example, if a corrupted _fireball_ from a pit fiend deals a total of 35 points of damage, half of that amount (18 points) is fire damage and the other half (17 points) is unholy damage. Nonevil creatures immune to fire still take the 17 points of unholy damage. Each of a creature's spell-like abilities can be corrupted three times per day, though the feat does not allow the creature to exceed its normal usage limit for any ability. Thus, if a pit fiend chooses to corrupt its _fireball_ ability, it can use a corrupted _fireball_ up to three times that day.

Unlike a magic wand, a scepter can contain up to two spells, each of which has a cost in charges to use. Both spell effects draw from a common pool of charges, so they can be used in any combination. Crafting a scepter takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a scepter is its caster level x the spell level x 750 gp for the highest-level spell included, plus the caster level x the spell level x 375 gp for the second spell, if any.

Crafting a skull talisman takes one day. When you create a skull talisman, you set the caster level. The caster level must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a skull talisman is its spell level × its caster level × 100 gp. To craft the talisman, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials (mostly comprised of the rare metallic inks needed to inscribe the runes of power on the skull) costing one-half this base price. When you create a skull talisman, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever destroys the skull is the target of the spell. Any skull talisman that stores a spell with a costly material component or a XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when creating the skull talisman. The skull to be used to create a skull talisman must be from a creature of at least Small size. A Small creature's skull can store a spell of up to 3rd level. A Medium creature's skull can store a spell of up to 6th level. A Large creature's skull can store a spell of up to 9th level.

The DM must decide if a dream contains prophetic imagery; a sufficiently high roll might glean some information even if the dream was not overtly oracular. Making the DC required to interpret a dream grants information comparable to an _augury_ spell. Exceeding the required check by 10 or more offers information comparable to a _divination_ spell. Exceeding the required check by 20 or more offers information comparable to a _commune_ spell. Even if your result was not high enough to enable you to read prophetic images, the result might be sufficient to interpret basic symbols and events. Thus, a check result of 18 is insufficient to foretell the future but still grants some information about cultural details or concepts. You can use this feat to determine what effect injuries received in a dreamscape are likely to have on you once you return (DC 15), or whether an item or location was created by the dreamer or brought in from outside (DC 20); see Chapter 3 for information on adventuring within dreamscapes. Finally, this feat allows Knowledge (Planes) to function in place of Survival when used within a dreamscape. This skill can be used to retrace your steps and return to a known person's dream, or to attempt to track a creature across the dreamscape. _Action_: Dream telling requires careful analysis of bizarre images and events. If you are trying to interpret your own dream, you must cogitate on it for a number of minutes equal to 30 minus your Intelligence modifier. If you wish to analyze someone else's dream, that person must first describe it to you in great detail, adding an additional 10+1d10 minutes to the process. _Try Again_: No. The check represents your ability to interpret that particular dream. You can attempt to interpret other dreams the same individual has later, but you get only one attempt per dream. Similarly, you have only one attempt to determine whether an item is native to a particular dream. **Special:** Most campaigns are not set up to interact with the dream world. Hence, this feat is only available if the DM specifically states that he or she has decided to allow it in his or her campaign. ``` @@ --- Feat: Drift Magic Tags: Summ: You can tap the power of drift magic.

Prereq: Any two item creation feats, Demon Mastery --- !! ``` ## Extract Demonic Essence *You can draw upon the living essence of a willing or captured demon to fuel the creation of items or the casting of potent spells.* **Prerequisite:** Any two item creation feats, Demon Mastery **Benefit:** Whenever you need to expend experience points to craft a magic item or cast a spell with an XP component, you can draw upon the life force of a nearby demon to reduce the XP cost to you. Before beginning the process, you must secure a demon whose Hit Dice equal or exceed the caster level of the item or spell in question. The demon could be one that you summoned with a _planar ally_ spell, or one that you have bound with a _planar binding_ spell, or even one that you simply encountered and convinced to aid you. The demon need not be willing, but it must remain within 30 feet of you for the duration of your work on the item or the casting time of the spell, and you must have line of effect (but not necessarily line of sight) to it during that time. Drawing essence from a demon does not increase the time required to craft the item or cast the spell, but the process is draining for both you and the demon. Each of you takes 1d6 points of Constitution damage when the essence is channeled from the demon into your body, then converted into magical energy. An unwilling demon can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier) to resist removal of its essence. Success negates your use of this feat and forces you to either pay the full cost yourself or abort the creation or casting. Successfully drawing essence from a demon in this way reduces the XP cost of the spell or item creation by one-half, but it complicates the process. If you use this feat to reduce the XP cost of a spell, you must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + the demon's HD) to cast the spell. If you use this feat to offset the XP cost of crafting a magic item, the demon's essence has a 10% chance to corrupt the item in some way, imbuing it with a curse. ``` @@ --- Feat: Extraordinary Artisan Tags: Item Creation Summ: You are an expert at creating magic items at a lower cost than usual.

You can’t take 10 or take 20 on this check, nor can you retry the check for the same (or virtually the same) favor. Favors should help advance the plot of an adventure.

You must have prepared the spell to be scribed and must provide any material components or focuses the spell requires. If casting the spell would reduce your XP total, you pay that cost upon beginning the rune in addition to the XP cost for making the rune itself. Likewise, material components are consumed when you begin writing the rune, but focuses are not. See Rune Magic in Chapter 2 of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting for details on runes and rune magic. A single object of Medium size or smaller can hold only one rune. A larger object can hold one rune per 25 square feet of surface area. Runes cannot be placed on creatures, although they can be drawn on equipment a creature carries. The rune has a price equal to its spell level x caster level x 50 gp. (A 0-level spell counts as 1/2 level.)

This use of the Search skill is a fullround action. Clues are pieces of evidence that lead to the solution of a mystery. Clues are physical and can be seen, heard, touched, smelled, or tasted. A clue stands out because it's not a normal feature of the area being searched. Examples of clues include a trampled flowerbed, a broken urn, a pin snapped off in a lock, a torn strip of cloak, a burnt scrap of scroll, or a brooch clutched in a dead man's fist. Add the following task to the list provided in the _Player's Handbook_ description of the Search skill. | **Task** | **Search DC** | | --------------- | ------------- | | **Find a clue** | 10 | So, in addition to using Search to find a certain item, notice a secret door, or find a footprint, you have the additional training and experience necessary to find clues of all sorts. Modify the Search DC according to the nature of the scene being examined, as indicated below. (This function of the Search skill doesn’t reveal clues when there are no clues to find.) | **Scene Condition** | | **Perception DC Modifier** | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | | **Undisturbed** | The scene has not been touched or contaminated in any way. | +0 | | **Disturbed**<br><br> | Someone or something has slightly and perhaps unintentionally contaminated the scene; for example, a book was picked up and put back or a guard walked cautiously across the area. | +5 | | **Greatly disturbed**<br><br> | Someone or something has massively and intentionally contaminated the scene; for example, the area has been cleaned and scrubbed, or the area was intentionally disturbed after the primary event occurred. | +10 | When a successful Search check turns up a clue, you can make a second check to discern patterns, analyze evidence, and draw conclusions about what occurred in a specific area. In other words, the first Search check lets you find something, and the second check allows you to figure out what you’ve found. You can make a DC 15 Search check to analyze a clue. By examining a body, you might determine whether the victim fought back or provided no struggle at all, or if claws, a weapon, or a spell killed the victim. By looking at a scorch mark on a wall, you might approximate the location of the spellcaster when the spell was cast. The DC for the check is modified by the time that has elapsed since the event occurred and how significant the clue is, as indicated below. All other rules concerning the Search skill otherwise apply. | **Circumstance** | **Example** | **DC Modifier** | | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | | **Each day past since event**<br> | <br>Maximum modifier +10 | +2 | | **Minor clue**<br><br> | Provides only a piece of the solution to a puzzle and requires additional data for the investigator to reach a conclusion. | +0 | | **Moderate clue**<br><br> | Provides significant data toward the solution of a puzzle and could lead to a conclusion without additional data. | +2 | | **Major clue** | Provides everything an investigator needs to solve a puzzle, even if the solution isn’t immediately obvious. | +5 | The DM should secretly make the second Search check to analyze a clue. If the check succeeds, the DM provides a truthful, objective analysis of the clue that can help the investigator reach a reasonable and logical conclusion. For example, analyzing a brooch clutched in the hand of a murdered dwarf (a major clue) reveals that it was torn from a blue cloak or tunic (it bears strands of a blue material). It bears the symbol of House Cannith, but the brooch isn’t of the quality that a house noble would normally wear. These true and objective facts are now left for the investigator to consider and follow up on. If the check fails, the DM provides analysis of the clue that sounds plausible but is actually flawed in some manner. For example, a flawed analysis of the major clue discussed above would reveal only that the brooch bears the symbol of House Cannith. Even a successful analysis won’t reveal the actual authenticity of a clue. False clues planted at a scene could provide truthful and objective data that leads an investigator in the wrong direction. Generally, investigating a scene a second time doesn’t add new insight unless another clue is discovered. You can take 10 when making a Search check to find a clue, but you can’t take 20. ``` @@ --- Feat: Invisible Needle Tags: Reserve Summ: You can create tiny darts of force.

This attack requires a successful ranged attack roll (not a ranged touch attack), and the dart has a range of 5 feet per level of the force spell. The needle deals 1d4 points of damage per level of the highest-level force spell you have available. Because it is composed of force, the needle can strike incorporeal creatures.

All other aspects of the spell, including range, area, targets, and damage remain the same. Note that this feat has no bearing on any components required to cast the enhanced spell, so the spell's source might still be apparent, depending on the situation, despite its effects being unseen. For example, a _fireball_ cast by someone with this feat could be made invisible in the moment of its detonation, but everyone in the area would still feel the full effect (including the heat), and any flammable materials ignited by the explosion would still burn visibly with nonmagical fire. Those with _detect magic_, _see invisibility_, or _true seeing_ spells or effects active at the time of the casting will see whatever visual manifestations typically accompany the spell.

Add your paladin level to any Knowledge or Intelligence check made regarding laws. You can use this ability even if you are unfamiliar with the local laws or don't even know where you are. For example, if you use this ability upon approaching the city of Luthcheq in Chessenta, a Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (local Chessenta) check reveals to you that arcane magic is forbidden there. If you later end up in a strange land by way of a portal, and a Knowledge (religion) check reveals that Loviatar is the official religion where you are, you realize you are in (for instance) Dambrath. You can use this ability to find loopholes in the law, such as learning that the local temple's ability to offer a wanted criminal sanctuary only applies from dusk until dawn, allowing you to arrest the criminal after daybreak.

The target must still be within the spell's maximum range, and you must have had line of sight and line of effect within a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Prereq: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. Manifesting a power altered by this feat means that you must choose two powers—one you intend to manifest in this round, and one you intend to manifest in the next round. The power that is manifested in this round is not altered in any way, nor is the linked power that goes off in the next round—however, you do not need to spend any of your actions or power points next round to manifest the linked power. --- !! ``` ## Linked Power (Metapsionic) You can link a power to the power you manifest in this round so that it goes off next round. **Benefit:** To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. Manifesting a power altered by this feat means that you must choose two powers—one you intend to manifest in this round, and one you intend to manifest in the next round. The power that is manifested in this round is not altered in any way, nor is the linked power that goes off in the next round—however, you do not need to spend any of your actions or power points next round to manifest the linked power. The linked power is automatically targeted on the same area or target as the power you manifest in this round (if the power you manifest this round has no area or target, choose an area or target in this round for the linked power to affect in the next round). If the same creature is targeted by both powers, the target experiences all the effects of both powers individually and receives a saving throw (if applicable) for each. In some cases, such as a _psionic charm_ followed by a linked _psionic charm_, failing both saving throws results in redundant effects (although, in this example, any ally of the target would have to succeed on two dispel attempts to free the target from the charm effect). It is possible that by the time the linked power comes into effect on the following round, the area where it goes off or the target that it affects no longer has relevance. On the other hand, you are free on the subsequent round to take actions normally. Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power manifested this round by a number equal to the power point cost of the linked power. Thus if you manifest _energy stun_ (3 power points) and _energy burst_ (5 power points) as the linked power, the metapsionic cost is 8. The total of power points you spend in this manner cannot exceed your manifester level. ## Lion Tribe Warrior (Regional) You have learned how to pounce on your foes, like the lion that roams your lands. **Region**:: **Clan**:: **Benefit:** You may make a full attack with a single light weapon as part of a charge action.

If you succeed, each target of your spell is healed of 2 points of damage per spell level, in addition to the spell's normal effects. If the spell doesn’t have a target entry, this feat has no effect. This healing power is positive energy, so an undead creature instead takes 2 points of damage per spell level. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save (at the spell's normal save Dc) to negate this effect. If the skill check fails, the prepared spell or spell slot is lost. You cannot use this feat on any spell with an alignment descriptor, nor with any necromancy spell. The natural world favors balance in all things, and thus does not support specific alignment-based magic, nor can its life-giving power be used to enhance the magic of death. ``` @@ --- Feat: Magic Sensitive Tags: Reserve Summ: You literally see the emanations of magic around you.

Make a grapple check using your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier. The opponent uses its Strength modifier as normal. If you succeed, you and your opponent are not grappling, but you switch positions with the foe. (If either combatant occupies more than one square, both must end up adjacent to each other after the throw, each must occupy at least one square the other formerly occupied, and neither can be located in a square occupied by any obstacle or other creature. If both combatants can’t meet these conditions, you can’t execute the throw.) Switching positions in this fashion does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You can use this feat on allies as well as enemies. If the other character is willing, your attack roll and grapple check are automatically successful, and you deal unarmed strike damage to your ally normally.

You do not pay any new personal costs associated with the increased level, but you cannot access any abilities for which you have not met the prerequisites. For example, a 10th-level character gains no benefit from this feat, since she has not yet gained the Lesser Legacy feat required to use legacy abilities of 11th level or higher.

Prereq: Spell-like ability at caster level 6th or higher --- !! ``` ## Maximize Spell-Like Ability You can use a spell-like ability at its maximum effect. **Prerequisite:** Spell-like ability at caster level 6th or higher **Benefit:** Choose one of your spell-like abilities (subject to the restrictions below) to use at maximum effectiveness up to three times per day (or the ability's normal use limit, whichever is less). All variable, numeric effects of the spelllike ability are maximized, dealing maximum damage, curing the maximum number of hit points, affecting the maximum number of targets, and so on. For example, a 10th-level warlock's maximized _eldritch blast_ deals 36 points of damage three times per day. Saving throws and opposed checks (such as the one you make when you cast _dispel magic_) are not affected, nor are spell-like abilities without random variables. An empowered maximized spell-like ability gains the benefit of each feat separately (getting the maximum result plus one-half the normally rolled result). For example, a fire mephit's empowered maximized _scorching ray_ would deal 24 points of damage plus one-half of 4d6 points of damage. The spell-like ability you wish to maximize can be chosen only from those abilities that duplicate a spell of a level less than or equal to 1/2 your caster level (round down), minus 2. For a summary, see the Caster Level to Empower column in the table on page 304 of the _Monster Manual_. **Special:** This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time, you apply it to a different one of your spell-like abilities. ``` @@ --- Feat: Melee Evasion Tags: Summ: Your speed, agility, and talent for intelligent fighting allow you to avoid your opponent's blows.

Applying metamagic spontaneously using this method increases the casting time of the spell normally. You cannot use the Metamagic Song feat to add metamagic feats that would make the spell's effective level higher than the highest level of spell that you can cast normally. **Special:** When applying a metamagic feat to a spell, you must either use Metamagic Song to completely offset the increase in the spell's effective level or apply the metamagic feat normally and cast the spell at its higher level. You cannot partially increase the level of the spell (or “split” the cost) to reduce the number of uses of Bardic performance spent when using the Metamagic Song feat. Only one method can be used to pay for metamagic feats that affect a single spell.

The class of the layer does not equal the class of the node unless you are standing in the innermost portion of it. For example, if you use Maximize Spell to augment the 5th-level spell _flame strike_ in the innermost (+1) layer of a Class 1 node, you cast the spell as if it were only two levels higher than normal, not three, because the node pays one spell level's worth of the metamagic cost. This feat is most useful to casters who do not prepare spells (such as bards and sorcerers) and to wizards who rarely leave their nodes and can therefore prepare and cast their spells at the adjusted level. If you use this feat to reduce the cost of preparing a metamagic spell and then leave the node, the spell you prepared is unavailable until you return to a node layer of at least the same class as the one in which the spell was prepared. ``` @@ --- Feat: Metapower Tags: Metapsionic Summ: You can permanently modify a psionic power you know with a metapsionic feat.

When you manifest the modified power with that metapsionic feat, you must still obey any restrictions of that feat (for example, expending your psionic focus). Once a metapower is created by taking this feat, it cannot be changed. The metapower can be used normally with other metapsionic feats you know. **Special:** You can gain this feat multiple times.

Each spell to be affected requires the investment of a number of essential equal to the normal spell level adjustment required by the metamagic feat (minimum 1 point of essentia). The next time you cast that spell, the spell gains the effect of that metamagic feat without any change to its level (or casting time, if you cast spells spontaneously). You can apply the effect of this feat to as many spells as you can afford to invest with essence. You can apply the effect of different metamagic feats to different spells, as long as you know all metamagic feats applied and you have sufficient essence capacity to do so. For example, you could invest 1 point of essence to enlarge a spell (as Enlarge Spell) and 2 points of essence to empower a spell (as Empower Spell), as long as you had at least 3 points of essence to invest, had an essentia capacity (see Table 2–1: essence Capacity) of 3 or greater, and knew both the Empower Spell and Enlarge Spell feats.

This feat grants you access to the various node magic feats and node powers, and allows you to make a Spellcraft check instead of an Intelligence check to notice nearby nodes of the type to which you are attuned. **Special:** You can gain this feat multiple times.

If you are a spellcaster who prepares spells, you can now prepare those two spells in addition to your normal spell complement as long as you are in a node to which you are attuned, just as if you had two extra spell slots per day. These extra prepared spells are stored in the node instead of in your mind. You can cast them normally while you are within that node, even if you have left the node and returned since storing them there. If you are a spellcaster who does not prepare spells, choose two spells that you know. You can now cast those two spells while in a node to which you are attuned as if you had two extra spell slots per day available. Each such slot can be used only to cast its designated spell; it cannot be used for any other spell (including the other spell designated with this feat). If you leave the node, these extra spell slots become unavailable to you, but you can use them again if you return, provided that you haven't already used them since the last time you rested. You do not need to designate a specific node in which to store your spells when you choose this feat, but you can have spells stored in only one node at a time. You can change the node in which your spells are stored by meditating for 1 hour inside the new node you have selected. **Special:** You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to two new spells. ## Nomadic Trekker (Regional) *You are particularly efficient at overland movement across the great grasslands.* **Region**:: **Benefit:** You can move overland across trackless plains at normal speed.

You can then modify any spell with the chosen descriptor to deal nonlethal damage instead of normal energy damage. The nonlethal spell works normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt—for example, a nonlethal _fireball_ has the same range and area, but since it deals nonlethal damage instead of energy damage, it will not damage objects or set fire to combustibles in the area. A nonlethal spell uses a spell slot one level higher than the spell's normal level. ``` @@ --- Feat: Nonverbal Spell Tags: Summ: You can cast spells that have verbal components without actually verbalizing the words.

An ocular spell does not take effect immediately, but is instead held in one of your eyes for up to 8 hours. You can store only two ocular spells in this fashion, even if you have more than two eyes. Only ray spells and spells with a target other than personal can be cast as ocular spells. When you choose, you can then cast both of the ocular spells as a full-round action; the spells become brilliant blasts that shoot out from your eyes. You can choose different targets for the two ocular spells. When you release an ocular spell, its effect changes to a ray with a range of up to 60 feet. If the spell previously would have affected multiple creatures, it now affects only the creature struck by the ray. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike your target with an ocular spell, and the target is still permitted any saving throw allowed by the spell. _Example:_ Ferno, an 11th-level wizard with the Ocular Spell feat, could prepare two _scorching ray_ spells as ocular spells, casting them at the beginning of the day. In combat, he can take a full-round action to fire off both _scorching ray_ spells. He can fire each spell at a different target, and he gets all three rays from each spell.

First, when casting spells in a nightmare realm, your spells always work as normal; you do not risk the same mishaps that other casters experience. Second, while in the dreamscape, you are considered to have Spell Focus (enchantment) and Spell Focus (illusion), due to your ability to manipulate the thoughts of dreamers and the stuff of dreams. If you already have Spell Focus in one or both of these schools, the DC bonus to saves stacks so long as you remain within the dreamscape. Third, you can target your offensive spells at a target's dream self, rather than his physical form. Because this deals mental damage only, it transforms all damage dealt by that spell into nonlethal damage. This effect functions only on creatures that both sleep and dream: Constructs, plants, undead, and elves are immune to this effect. Only spells that target a single creature or specific number of creatures benefit from this effect; you cannot apply it to spells that target an area. **Special:** Because you are more tightly connected to the world of dreams, you are more susceptible to certain types of mental manipulation. You take a –1 penalty on saves against enchantment and illusion spells and effects when in the physical realm. If you are slain while mentally traveling the dreamscape, your physical body dies, whether or not this is the case for most travelers. **Normal**:: Casters in nightmare realms have a chance of mishap when casting spells. In some instances, those who die in the dreamscape experience effects other than death in the real world. **See Adventuring in Nightmare Realms in Chapter 3.** ``` @@ --- Feat: Open Greater Chakra Tags: Summ: You open up one of your body's centers of power, allowing you to bind a soulmeld or a magic item to that chakra.

The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally. _Magma:_ As fire energy, but also deals an additional 2d6 points of fire damage on the round following the attack from lingering magma. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally. _Ooze:_ As electricity energy, but the target is also covered in goo and becomes entangled for 1 round, after which the goo evaporates. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally. _Smoke:_ As sonic, but targets that breathe spend the following round coughing, and so are limited to a single move action or standard action (not both) for 1 round. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally. Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 2. The power's total cost cannot exceed your manifester level. **Special:** You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat, choose another energy type (cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) that you have also selected with the Privileged Energy feat. You can now manifest that power with the matching paraelemental effect described above. ``` @@ --- Feat: Paralyzing Fists Tags: Summ: You can make multiple unarmed attacks to paralyze an opponent in a single round.

When this feat is first taken, forging a link between yourself and a chosen planar touchstone takes 24 hours of uninterrupted concentration. To forge a link, you must spend 10 experience points and expend the object described in this feat's prerequisite. Once the link is forged, you gain the base ability described for that touchstone. If you physically visit the planar location once you’ve forged a link, you also gain a higher order ability with a limited number of uses, as described for that planar touchstone. You may repeatedly visit the planar touchstone, each time recharging your usages of the higher-order ability. sages of a higher-order ability do not stack, so visiting your planar touchstone prior to using up any of your higher-order usages confers no additional benefit. Once you’ve established a link with one planar touchstone site by taking this feat, you may also freely visit other planar touchstones. When you do so and fulfill the higher order ability's recharge condition for the alternate site, you immediately gain the base ability of the new planar touchstone site and lose the base ability of the previous site. You also lose any remaining uses of the higher-order ability of your previously selected site (if any), and instead gain the specified number of higher-order ability uses appropriate to the new site. In this way, you can “unplug” from one site and “plug in” to a new planar touchstone site as often as you desire.

Thus, you could retain the base abilities for both the Breaching Obelisk and Echolost (planar touchstone locations described in Chapter 7), as well as both sites’ higher-order uses, simultaneously. If you then visit a third planar touchstone and fulfill its recharge condition, unless you have taken this feat three times, you must choose which of your two previous touchstone site abilities to lose when you gain the abilities of the third touchstone site. ``` @@ --- Feat: Planetouched Animal Affinity Tags: Summ: You have a special affinity for a kind of animal associated with your deity ancestor.

It revolves around tracing arcane patterns inside a magic circle drawn on the ground or in the air, using a staff, rod or wand. Casting spells in this manner requires the following: - A mundane or magical staff, rod, or wand worth at least 10 gp per level of the spell being cast. - One free hand - Verbal and somatic components (even when the spell being cast does not normally require them). The Perception DC to notice a spell being cast in this manner is -5. - Material components costing 1 gp per spell level, unless the spell being cast already has a component or focus with a higher GP value. - A swift action, in addition to whatever casting time the spell already has. Spells that can be normally be cast as swift actions can be cast using Staff and Circle magic as a standard action. For each verbal, somatic and material component used (that is not already present in the spell's listing), the caster level of the spell is increased by +1. For example, _blur_ normally only requires a verbal component, but casting it with Staff and Circle magic increases the caster level by 2 (for the added somatic and material components).

If you fail this Jump check, you miss your target, and if you fail this Jump check by 5 or more, you fall prone in an adjacent square. _Falcon's Feathers:_ To use this maneuver, you must be wearing a cloak. As a standard action, you can whip the cloak around you in a distracting fashion. Make an attempt to feint in combat, using your base attack bonus instead of your Bluff modifier.

The range expands to 20 feet if you are in an area covered in a layer of at least 1 inch of ash, dust, loose earth, or sand.

Scribing a psionic tattoo takes one day. When you create a psionic tattoo, you set the manifester level. The manifester level must be sufficient to manifest the power in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a psionic tattoo is its power level x its manifester level x 50 gp. To scribe a tattoo, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials (special inks, masterwork needles, and so on) costing one-half of this base price. When you create a psionic tattoo, you make any choices that you would normally make when manifesting the power. When its wearer physically activates the tattoo, the wearer is the target of the power. Any psionic tattoo that stores a power with an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost.

You can also activate magic items that use the Shadow Weave without taking damage. The saving throw for every spell you cast from the schools of enchantment, illusion, and necromancy increases by +1. You also get a +1 bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance with spells from these schools. The Shadow Weave proves less than optimal for effects involving energy or matter. Your effective caster level for spells you cast from the schools of evocation or transmutation (except spells with the darkness descriptor) is reduced by one. A 1st-level Shadow Weave user cannot cast spells from these schools at all. You can no longer cast spells with the light descriptor. No matter what school they are from, such spells automatically fail. Your ability to use magic items that produce light effects is also limited - you cannot invoke an item's light power if its activation method is spell completion or spell trigger.

A shadowform familiar is more closely bound to you than a normal familiar, and the maximum distance from you the shadowform familiar can travel is 30 feet per caster level. If you are separated from your shadowform familiar by a distance greater than this, the shadowform familiar dissolves into nothingness and is considered slain. **Special:** This feat does not transform a normal familiar into a shadowform familiar. ``` @@ --- Feat: Shadowstrike Tags: Combat Summ: Due to your ties to the Plane of Shadow, you strike more effectively in areas of dim illumination.

If you hit, your melee attacks against that creature on your next turn overcomes its damage reduction (if any). Share Soulmeld You can share a soulmeld with an ally with which you have a special bond. **Prerequisite:** Ability to shape soulmelds and a familiar, animal companion, or mount with whom you can share spells **Benefit:** At your option, any soulmeld shaped by you and currently affecting you can also affect your familiar, animal companion, or mount.

If the creature leaves this radius of effect, it loses the benefits of the soulmeld until such time as it returns within 5 feet. Shared Fury Your fearsome rage spurs your animal companion to greater heights. **Prerequisite:** Handle Animal 4 ranks, animal companion class feature, rage class feature **Benefit:** When you rage, your animal companion gains the same benefits and penalties from your rage that you do, but only if it is within 5 feet of you.

Sharp-Shooting Your skill with ranged weapons lets you score hits others would miss due to an opponent's cover. **Prerequisite:** Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +3 **Benefit:** Your targets only receive a +2 bonus to Armor Class due to cover.

Shielded Axe (Style) You have mastered the style of fighting with a dwarven waraxe and a handaxe while keeping a buckler strapped to your off hand, and you have learned to use this unusual combination of weapons and buckler to protect yourself while wielding both axes effectively. **Prerequisite:** Proficiency with dwarven waraxe, proficiency with handaxe, Shield Proficiency, Two-Weapon Fighting **Benefit:** When you make a full attack with your dwarven waraxe in your main hand and your handaxe in your off hand, you can still gain the shield bonus for a buckler strapped to your off hand. In addition you do not take the usual –1 penalty to attack rolls when using a buckler. Shield Charge You deal extra damage if you use your shield as a weapon when charging. **Prerequisite:** Improved Shield Bash, base attack bonus +3 **Benefit:** If you hit an opponent with your shield as part of a charge action, in addition to dealing damage normally, you may make a trip attack without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you lose, the defender does not get to try to trip you in return. **Special:** A fighter may select Shield Charge as one of his fighter bonus feats. Shield Dwarf Warder You are a student of the protective magics of the shield dwarves, learned at great cost during centuries of warfare and wandering. **Prerequisite:** Shield dwarf **Benefit:** You gain +1 caster level when casting a spell that creates or enhances a suit of armor or a shield.

Like a mind blade, a shield of thought dissipates the instant it leaves your hand. You can wield a mind blade and a shield of thought at the same time, but you must manifest each one as a separate action. If you have the mind blade enhancement class feature, you can choose to apply any or all of the bonus points from this ability to your shield of thought instead of your mind blade. Each point that you apply in this manner provides a +1 enhancement bonus to the shield bonus and reduces the shield's armor check penalty to 0, but you cannot equip the shield with armor special abilities in this way. You are always considered to be proficient with your own shield of thought. Shield Proficiency **Benefit:** You can use a shield and take only the standard penalties. **Normal**:: When you are using a shield with which you are not proficient, you take the shield's armor check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride checks. **Special:** Barbarians, bards, clerics, druids, fighter s, paladins, and rangers automatically have Shield Proficiency as a bonus feat.

A defender who fails this saving throw is dazed for 1 round (until just before your next action). Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be dazed. **Special:** A fighter may select Shield Slam as one of his fighter bonus feats.

The shield deals damage as normal for its size (see Table 7–5, _Ph_ 116), and you gain your Strength bonus on damage as normal for a thrown weapon. In addition, you can make a ranged touch attack to initiate a trip attempt. Your target resists the trip attempt as normal. You lose your size bonus (though not a size penalty) on your Strength check. If your foe's check succeeds, he cannot attempt to trip you. You cannot throw a tower shield.

This additional astral "flesh" bonds perfectly with your own, giving you a silvery-white appearance and 1d8 temporary hit points that last for up to 1 hour. More important, it grants you one Menu A choice (_Eph_ 186) that you can use as if you were the construct. You wear the skin of the construct for the normal duration of the manifested _astral construct_ power, after which time it elapses. **Special:** If you have any other feats that modify the appearance or abilities of an astral construct (such as Boost Construct or Ectopic Form), you do not accrue those benefits when you use the _astral construct_ power with Skin of the Construct. ## Skyrider *You have trained and served with the hippogriff cavalry that guards the Great Rift.* **Prerequisite:** Ride (hippogriff) skill, Mounted Combat **Region**:: Gold dwarf. **Benefit:** You receive a +2 bonus on Handle Animal and Ride (hippogriff) checks. ## Slashing Flurry *You swing your weapon with uncanny speed, slicing apart a foe in the blink of an eye.* **Prerequisite:** Proficiency with selected slashing weapon, Weapon Focus with selected slashing weapon, Weapon Mastery (slashing), Weapon Specialization with selected slashing weapon, base attack bonus +14 **Benefit:** When you use a standard action to attack with any slashing weapon, you can choose to make a second attack with that weapon. You take a –5 penalty on the first attack, and a –10 penalty on the second. When you use a full attack action with any slashing weapon, you gain one additional attack at your highest base attack bonus. That attack and all other attacks you make in the current round take a –5 penalty. ``` @@ --- Feat: Slave To Evil Tags: Vile Summ: You have pledged your soul to an elder evil.

You gain benefits that grow more powerful as your master's sign intensifies.* **Prerequisite:** Chosen of Evil **Benefit:** You gain an aura of evil as if you were an evil outsider (see _detect evil, Ph_ 218). Whenever you are the target of an evil spell, decrease all variable numeric effects of the spell to their minimum possible values. In addition, your abilities increase with the intensity of your master's sign. All effects are cumulative. _Faint:_ You gain a +2 profane bonus on saves against divine spells. _Moderate:_ You gain a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against divine spellcasters. _Strong:_ You gain spell resistance equal to 11 + your character level against divine spells. If you already have spell resistance, it increases by 5 against divine magic. _Overwhelming:_ All divine spells cast within 30 feet of you are impeded, meaning that a divine spellcaster must succeed on a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose the spell or spell slot with no effect. ``` @@ --- Feat: Slayer Of Dragons Tags: Ceremony Summ: You protect your allies from the ravages they are sure to lace while hunting dragons. Prereq: Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks, must not be of the dragonblood subtype, must not have any draconic feats. --- !! ``` ## Slayer Of Dragons (Ceremony) *You protect your allies from the ravages they are sure to lace while hunting dragons.* **Prerequisite:** Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks, must not be of the dragonblood subtype, must not have any draconic feats. **Benefit:** You gain access to ceremonies based on your ranks in Knowledge (religion). Each ceremony allows you to provide up to live allies with defenses against dragons. Each ceremony takes 1 minute and requires a torch prepared with special herbs and incenses worth a certain minimum gold piece value (see below). All participants stand in a circle facing inward and together hold the torch. The effect of each ceremony lasts for 24 hours. _Stand together(4 ranks):_ You draw forth the courage of all the would-be hunters so that all might share it. When facing a creature that has frightful presence, each participant can treat his Hit Dice (for the purpose of determining the frightful presence's effectiveness) as 1 higher for each other participant in the ceremony who is within 60 feet of him. This ritual requires special herbs and incenses worth 20 gp. _Stand Apart (8 ranks):_ You chant a litany of freedom, snuffing the torch in water at the end of the ceremony. All participants gain a +2 bonus on saves against breath weapons as long as at least one other participant in the ceremony is within 60 feet but not in the area of the same breath weapon. This ritual requires special herbs and incenses worth 100 gp. _Stand Alone (13 ranks):_ You chant a litany of devotion as each participant passes a hand over the torch flame. If at any time during the next 24 hours, any participant is reduced to –1 or fewer hit points by the attack, breath weapon, spell, or other ability of a dragon, all other participants gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against dragons, as well as on saving throws against the attacks of dragons. These bonuses last for the next 10 rounds or until the wounded character is restored to 0 or more hit points, whichever comes first. If at least half of the participants in the ritual have been defeated in this manner, the bonus increases to +5. This ritual requires special herbs and incenses worth 500 gp. ## Slippery Skin *You can expertly avoid the grasp of your enemies.* **Prerequisite:** Escape Artist 9 ranks, Combat Reflexes **Benefit:** If a creature makes a touch attack against you to initiate a grapple, you can sacrifice one of your attacks of opportunity as an immediate action to make an Escape Artist check. You must use the check result in place of your touch AC, even if the result is lower. ``` @@ --- Feat: Sly Fortune Tags: Luck Summ: Your luck helps you find the right place to move to. Prereq: You can expend one luck reroll as an immediate action to reroll a Stealth or Acrobatics check. --- !! ``` ## Sly Fortune (Luck) *Your luck helps you find the right place to move to.* **Benefit:** You can expend one luck reroll as an immediate action to reroll a Stealth or Acrobatics check. You gain one luck reroll per day. ## Smatterings *You have a talent for acquiring languages—at least enough of each one to get by.* **Prerequisite:** Int 13 **Benefit:** You can learn enough of a language to ask and understand simple questions, explanations, and instructions. This benefit only applies to verbal communication. After 2d6 days of listening to a new language, you know enough to ask simple questions and to follow simple directions. Upon every future encounter with this language, you need only 1d4 days to regain that knowledge. ## Smite Fiery Foe *You can smite creatures with the fire subtype.* **Prerequisite:** Smite ability **Benefit:** Once per day, you may attempt to smite a creature with the fire subtype with a normal melee attack. When you activate this ability, your attack becomes infused with cold energy. You add your Charisma modifier to your attack roll and deal 1 extra point of cold damage per character level. If you smite a creature that does not have the fire subtype, the blast of cold does not manifest and the smite attempt is used up for that day. Remember that creatures with the fire subtype take half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, including the additional damage dealt by this ability. You may swap out any daily uses of a smite ability gained by a character class or cleric domain to smite fiery foes instead. ## Smiting Power *You use your smite ability to augment other combat maneuvers.* **Prerequisite:** Power Attack, ability to smite. **Benefit:** You can use your smite ability (whether smite evil or from some other source) when making a bull rush or overrun attempt. If your smite ability would normally grant a bonus on your attack roll against the target of your bull rush or overrun, you can add this bonus to your Strength check instead. In addition, if you win the opposed cheek to bull rush or overrun the target, you deal damage to the target equal to the bonus the smite would grant on a damage roll against that creature. You must announce the smite attempt before starting the bull rush or overrun. If your smite attempt would not grant a bonus against the target of you bull rush or overrun attempt (for instance, if you used smite evil when bull rushing a non-evil creature), the attempt is wasted to no effect. ## Smiting Spell *You can channel the energy of a touch spell into a weapon, causing the spell to discharge when you strike an opponent.* **Prerequisite:** Base attack bonus +1, caster level 1st. **Benefit:** You can alter a spell with a range of touch to transfer its energy from your hand to a weapon that you hold. The next time you strike an opponent with that weapon, the spell discharges. The target takes the normal damage and effects of a successful attack in addition to the spell's effect. Once you place a spell into a weapon, you must discharge it within 1 minute, or its energy dissipates harmlessly. You can place a smiting spell on a piece of ammunition or a projectile, such as a sling bullet, an arrow, or a crossbow bolt. In such a case, the spell dissipates if the attack misses. The spell cannot be placed on a bow, crossbow, sling, or similar weapon that uses ammunition. A smiting spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level. ``` @@ --- Feat: Smooth Talk Tags: Regional Summ: Your people rarely have to draw their weapons to deal with potential adversaries. There are few problems that you can't talk your way out of. Prereq: --- !! ``` ## Smooth Talk (Regional) *Your people rarely have to draw their weapons to deal with potential adversaries. There are few problems that you can't talk your way out of.* **Prerequisite:** **Benefit:** You take only a -5 penalty if you attempt a Diplomacy check as a full-round action. **Special:** You may select this feat only as a 1st-level character. You may have only one regional feat. **Normal**:: A Diplomacy check usually requires at least 1 minute. You can attempt a rushed Diplomacy check as a full-round action, but you take a -10 penalty. ## Snake Blood (Regional) The taint of the yuan-ti runs in your veins. No outward signs give away your heritage, but you are something more - or less - than human. **Prerequisite:** **Benefit:** You gain a +2 bonus on Reflex saving throws and a +2 bonus on Fortitude saves against poison. **Special:** You may select this feat only as a 1st-level character. You may have only one regional feat. ## Snap Kick *You have continued to hone your unarmed combat skills, and you deal more damage with your unarmed strikes.* **Prerequisite:** Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +6 **Benefit:** When you make a melee attack with one or more melee weapons (including a standard attack, full attack, or even a strike maneuver), you can make an additional attack at your highest attack bonus. This attack is an unarmed attack that deals damage equal to your base unarmed attack damage + 1/2 your Str bonus. You take a –2 penalty on all attack rolls you make this round. ## Snatch *You can grapple more easily with either your claws or bite.* **Prerequisite:** Access to a form with either claws or bite as natural weapons **Benefit:** If you hit with a claw or bite attack, you automatically attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you get hold with a claw on a creature four or more size categories smaller than yourself, you squeeze each round for automatic claw damage. If you get a hold with your claw on a creature three or more size categories smaller than yourself, you automatically deal bite damage each round, or if you do not move and take no other action in combat, you deal double bite damage to the snatched creature. As a free action, you can drop a creature you have snatched, or you can use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 10 feet (and takes 1d6 points of damage) for each size category greater than Small that you are. If you fling a creature while you are flying, it suffers either flinging or falling damage, whichever is greater. ## Snatch Weapon *You can disarm an opponent, then pluck the weapon from midair.* **Prerequisite:** Improved Disarm **Benefit:** If you succeed in disarming an opponent and you have a free hand, you can grab the weapon yourself instead of letting it fall. If you can wield that weapon in one hand, you can immediately make a single attack with it, though you suffer the usual penalties for a second attack with an off-hand weapon. **Normal**:: After a successful disarm attempt, the weapon winds up at the defenders' feet, unless you attempted the disarm attack while unarmed. ## Snowcasting *You add ice or snow to your spell's components to make them more powerful.* **Prerequisite:** Con 13 **Benefit:** If you add a handful of snow or ice as an additional material component to a spell when you cast it, the spell gains the cold descriptor. This does not actually change the nature of the spell you cast; a _fireball_ cast with this feat still deals fire damage, but since it also carries the cold descriptor, it can be augmented by a number of feats listed in this chapter, such as Cold Focus and Frozen Magic. If you add a handful of snow or ice as an additional material component to a spell when you cast it and that spell already has the cold descriptor, you increase the effective level of the spell being cast by +1. Adding this additional material component requires you to spend a move action immediately before the spell is cast to gather fresh snow or ice from the surrounding environment. This snow or ice can be magically created by a conjuration spell, but no other ice manifested by a spell will do. You may take no other action between gathering the snow or ice and casting the spell. ## Snowflake Wardance *You have mastered the snowflake wardance, a mystical style of fighting with slashing weapons that allows you to leap and almost seem to float haphazardly across the battlefield like a whirling, razor-edged snowflake.* **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance ability, Perform (dance) 6 ranks **Benefit:** By expending one of your daily uses of Bardic performance, you may perform a deadly style of combat known as the snowflake wardance. Activating a snowflake wardance is a free action, and once activated, you add your Charisma modifier to your attack rolls with any slashing melee weapon you wield in one hand. This bonus to hit stacks with any bonuses you get from a high Strength score (or Dexterity score, if you are using Weapon Finesse). You cannot use this feat if you are carrying a shield, wearing medium or heavy armor, or carrying a medium or heavy load. A snowflake wardance lasts for a number of rounds equal to your ranks in Perform (dance). Performing a snowflake wardance is physically tiresome—when the snowflake wardance ends, you become fatigued for the next 10 minutes. ## Snowrunner *You are particularly adept at moving through snow and over ice.* **Prerequisite:** Woodland stride ability **Benefit:** You can move through loose snow at full speed, as if you were moving across open terrain. You are also skilled at moving across open ice, and gain a +5 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks to avoid slipping when you move across icy surfaces. ``` @@ --- Feat: Snow Tiger Berserker Tags: Combat Summ: You have learned how to pounce on your foes, much like your totem spirit.

(If you have light weapons in both hands, you may strike with both under the normal rules for fighting with two weapons.) **Normal**:: Characters without this feat may make only one attack as part of a charge action. ``` @@ --- Feat: Sociable Personality Tags: Racial Summ: You are adroit at avoiding social gaffes.

You must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. ## Somatic Weaponry *You are adept at performing somatic spell components while your hands are occupied.* **Prerequisite:** Concentration 5 ranks, Spellcraft 5 ranks **Benefit:** When wielding a weapon (or holding an item of comparable size) in one or both hands, you can use that item to race the somatic component of a spell, rather than using your fingers. This allows you to cast spells with somatic components even while your hands are full or occupied, as long as at least one hand is holding an item of proper size. This feat doesn't allow you to use _somatic_ components while grappling, regardless of the size of your foe. **Normal**:: You must have a hand free to cast spells that have somatic components. ## Song Of The Heart *Your Bardic performance reaches the depths of its listeners’ hearts.* **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance class feature, inspire competence ability, Perform 6 ranks **Benefit:** When you use inspire courage, inspire competence, inspire greatness, or inspire heroics, any bonus granted by your music increases by +1. Thus, a 15th-level bard with this feat grants his allies a +4 bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear when he uses inspire courage, rather than the +3 he would normally grant. If he uses inspire greatness, the same bard grants up to three allies 3 bonus Hit Dice, a +3 bonus on attack rolls, and a +2 bonus on Fortitude saves. Also, when you use _fascinate, suggestion,_ or _mass suggestion,_ the saving throw DC increases by 1. If you have the Haunting Melody feat, the saving throw DC for that effect also increases by 1. If you have the Music of Growth feat, the bonus bestowed by that feat increases to +6. If you have the Music of Making feat, the bonus on Craft checks bestowed by that feat increases to +6. If you have the Soothe the Beast feat, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your Perform check to improve the attitude of an animal or magical beast. ## Song Of The White Raven *The White Raven discipline shows you how to rouse dedication and fervor within your allies’ hearts. Such teachings can augment and improve your musical ability.* **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance (inspire courage), one White Raven maneuver **Benefit:** While you are in any White Raven stance, you can activate your Bardic performance ability to inspire courage as a swift action. Your crusader and warblade levels stack with your bard levels to determine the bonus granted by your inspire courage ability. ## Soothe The Beast *Echoing the music of creation, your music has power to calm animals.* **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance class feature, Perform 6 ranks **Benefit:** You gain an ability similar to the wild empathy ability of a druid or ranger. Your music can improve the attitude of an animal. You make a Perform check instead of a Diplomacy check and use the result to determine the animal's new attitude. The typical domesticated animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use this ability, you must be within 30 feet of the animal. The check takes 1 minute, but it might take longer to actually influence the animal. You can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but you take a –4 penalty on the check. **Special:** Using this ability counts as one of your daily uses of Bardic performance. ## Soul Of The North *You possess a magical understanding of the nature of cold.* **Benefit:** An innate talent for magic grants you the following spell-like abilities as a 1st-level caster: 1/day—_chill touch, ray of frost, resistance._ Save DC 10 + spell level + your Cha modifier. ``` @@ --- Feat: Soulblade Warrior Tags: Racial Summ: The spirit of a quori warrior grants you deadly speed and combat prowess with your mind blade.

When you spend an action point to influence an attack roll made with your mind blade, you also add the result of the action point roll to your damage for that attack. **Normal**:: Manifesting a mind blade is a move action. ``` @@ --- Feat: Soulsight Tags: Incarnum Summ: You can attune your soul to sense living creatures near you.

This blindsense has a range equal to 5 feet per point of invested essence. The blindsense lasts until the start of your next turn. Once the amount of essence invested is chosen, it cannot be altered and remains invested for 24 hours.

A successful Will save (using your Perform check result as the Dc) negates the effect. The target must be within 30 feet of you and be able to hear you. ## Southern Magician *Your magical studies in Mulan lands have taught you spellcasting techniques unknown in the north that blur the line between arcane and divine magic.* **Prerequisite:** Mulan Human subtype, ability to casts 2nd-level spells **Benefit:** Once per day per two spellcaster levels, you can case a divine spell as an arcane spell, or vice versa. This enables you to bypass arcane spell failure due to armor, or gain additional benefit from spell that functions differently for a divine caster instead of an arcane caster, such as _true seeing_ or _magic weapon_. Spells changed with this feat are often confusing to those who haven't studied Mulan magic. Spellcasters who don't have this feat suffer a -4 penalty on attempts to counterspell or dispel this spell, and they must succeed at a caster level check (DC 11 + spell level) to detect the spell with _detect magic_. The actual source of the spell's power doesn't change, nor does its means of preparation. You are merely weaving the strands of magic together in an unconventional way that makes the spell behave somewhat differently. ## Special Dispensation *You have been given leave to carry even banned armor, weapons, and equipment in a given area.* **Prerequisite:** Favored **Benefit:** Due in part to your standing within your organization, you have received special dispensation from the authorities to wear or carry whatever equipment you deem necessary, regardless of local armor and weapons laws. This feat is often represented in the game, either by an object of some kind—typically an official government seal—or even a mark, such as a tattoo. **Special:** This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time you take the feat, its effects apply to a new culture, geographic region, kingdom, or nation (whichever is appropriate). Note: In the Eberron setting, you can substitute the Favored in House feat for Favored as the prerequisite for this feat. If you do, you gain the benefits of this feat while within any of the Five Nations. ## Spectral Skirmisher *You have trained extensively in the use of magic that renders you invisible. In combat, you use this experience to vex your opponents and increase your survivability.* **Prerequisite:** Base attack bonus +6 **Benefit:** While you are invisible, you gain additional benefits. Creatures unable to see you due to invisibility take a –5 penalty on all Perception checks to detect you. A creature using a melee attack against the square you occupy provokes an attack of opportunity from you. You must choose to make this attack before checking to see if the creature finds you. If you attack and hit, the creature automatically finds you in your square.

Treat the spell's effect as if it had been cast by the character who prepared it (including caster level, save Dc, and so forth). You need not have the requisite ability score to cast the spell (for instance, you need not have an Intelligence of 13 or higher to cast a _fireball_ drained from the mind of a wizard). The spell remains in your mind for up to 1 hour. You can have a maximum number of stolen spells equal to your Charisma bonus (minimum 1); any spells that you would gain above this number are simply lost. This feat has no effect on spellcasters who don’t prepare spells (such as a sorcerer, who simply loses one spell slot for each negative level bestowed as normal) or who have no spells prepared (such as a fighter, or a wizard who has cast all her spells). ## Aligned Spell Focus *Your spells with an alignment descriptor are more potent than normal.* **Prerequisite:** Relevant alignment **Benefit:** Add +1 to the DC for all saving throws against any of your spells that have an alignment descriptor (chaos, evil, good, or lawful) that matches your alignment.

You can only apply one maneuver at a time to a single spell. - _Persistence:_ To use this maneuver, you must cast a specific spell two or more times in succession, and the spell must be one that allows affected creatures or objects a saving throw. You can take a move action after casting the spell once before casting it again, but you cannot take any other standard actions between successive castings. On the second and subsequent times you cast the spell, you add a cumulative +1 to the spell's save DC. If you cast any other spell after starting to use this feat or take any other standard action, the persistence chain breaks and you must begin anew. - _Refined Targeting:_ To use this maneuver, you must cast a specific spell two or more times in succession, and the spell must be one that requires an attack roll to affect a target. You can take a move action after casting the spell once before casting it again, but you cannot take any other standard actions between successive castings. On the second and subsequent times you cast the spell at the same target, you gain a cumulative +2 enhancement bonus on the attack roll to deliver the spell. If you cast any spell that does not require an attack roll or take any other standard action, the refined targeting chain breaks and you must begin anew. - _Persistent Targeting:_ To use this maneuver, you must cast a specific spell two or more times in succession, and the spell must be one that allows a target to apply spell resistance to the effect. You can take a move action after casting the spell once before casting it again, but you cannot take any other standard actions between successive castings. On the second and subsequent times you cast the spell at the same target, you gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome the target's spell resistance. If you cast any other spell or take any other standard action, the persistent targeting chain breaks and you must begin anew. **Special:** This benefit applies to spells you know or have prepared as well as spells cast from items such as wands and scrolls. ## Spell Specialization *You deal more damage with ray or energy missile spells.* **Prerequisite:** Weapon Focus (ray or energy missile spells), spellcaster level 4th+ **Benefit:** Your damage-dealing spells that make a ranged touch attack gain a +2 damage modifier. The damage bonus only applies if the target is within 30 feet because only at that range can you strike precisely enough to hit more effectively. **Special:** You can gain this feat twice: once for ray spells and once for energy missile spells. Its effects do not stack. ## Spell Toughness *Your exposure to a magical flux has left a minor aura around you that deflects certain spells.* **Prerequisite:** A previous encounter with a magical flux attuned to the school of magic or descriptor you select for this feat. **Benefit:** Select one school of magic or one spell descriptor. You gain a +3 bonus on saving throws against spells from that category. ## Spell-Like Ability Focus *Choose one of your spell-like abilities.

In addition, you take no movement penalties for moving over difficult terrain. ## Staggering Strike *You can deliver a wound that hampers an opponent's movement.* **Prerequisite:** Base attack bonus +6, sneak attack. **Benefit:** If you deal damage with a melee sneak attack, you can also deliver a wound that limits your foe's mobility. For 1 round (or until the target is the beneficiary of a DC 15 Heal check or any magical healing that restores at least 1 hit point, whichever comes first), your target is treated as if it were staggered, even if its nonlethal damage doesn’t exactly equal its current hit points. A target can resist this effect by making a successful Fortitude save (DC equal to damage dealt). Multiple staggering strikes on the same creature do not stack.

The creature gains a +4 bonus to its Armor Class and on saving throws for the duration of the summoning effect. Furthermore, the duration of the summoning effect that brought the creature is doubled. (Effects with a duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent are not affected.) For example, a cleric who has used his Planar Touchstone feat to forge a link between himself and Empyrea Mere (a touchstone located on the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia) grants these bonuses to any creature he summons from Celestia, such as a hound archon. **Special:** If a creature's indicated environment doesn’t specify a particular home plane, but rather a group of related planes (such as “any good-aligned plane”), you may choose to summon a creature of that kind that is native to your chosen plane and thus apply the feat's effect normally. However, no component of the alignment of the creature to be summoned may be opposed to any alignment traits of your chosen plane for the feat to work. For instance, the cleric in the example above could apply the feat's effect to a summoned celestial black bear (lawful good) or a celestial bison (neutral good), since celestial creatures have an environment of “any good-aligned plane.” He couldn’t apply it to a summoned celestial lion (chaotic good), since the lion's alignment has at least one component (chaotic) that is opposed to the alignment traits of the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia (lawful). ``` @@ --- Feat: Stamp Tags: Monstrous Summ: You can stamp the ground to crush and disrupt opponents.

Make your attack of opportunity normally. If you hit your foe, he must succeed on a Reflex save against a DC of 10 + your damage roll (the opponent does not actually take damage), or immediately halt as if he had used up his move actions for the round. Since you use the Stand Still feat in place of your attack of opportunity, you can do so only a number of times per round equal to the number of times per round you could make an attack of opportunity (normally just one). **Normal**:: Attacks of opportunity cannot halt your foes in their tracks. ``` @@ --- Feat: Starspawn Tags: Aberrant Summ: Your abnormal body and heritage has become more pronounced.

Rather than depend on agility or willpower, you use your raw toughness to survive.* **Prerequisite:** Endurance **Benefit:** You can use your Constitution modifier in place of your Wisdom modifier on Will saves. You do not automatically fail Fortitude saves on a roll of natural 1. ## Steady Concentration *You are an expert at avoiding distractions and focusing your mind, and you can concentrate clearly even in the most stressful conditions.* **Prerequisite:** Caster level 12th **Benefit:** You can always take 10 on Concentration checks, even when conditions would not normally allow you to do so. **Normal**:: A character cannot take 10 on any skill check if distracted or threatened, such as during combat. ## Steady Mountaineer *You are so good at climbing cliffs and leaping across crevasses that distractions don’t affect you.* **Prerequisite:** Galkan, or Climb 8 ranks and Jump 8 ranks **Benefit:** You can always take 10 on Climb and Acrobatics checks, even when conditions would not normally allow you to do so. **Normal**:: A character cannot take 10 on any skill check if distracted or threatened, such as during combat. ## Steam Magic *You are skilled at casting fiery spells into the water, causing terrible gouts of scalding steam.* **Prerequisite:** Spellcraft 4 ranks **Benefit:** You need not make a Spellcraft check to successfully cast spells or use spell-like abilities with the fire descriptor targeted on water. **Normal**:: Casting a fire spell or using a spell-like ability targeted on water successfully normally requires a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level). ``` @@ --- Feat: Stigmata Tags: Exalted Summ: You bear the marks of wounds on your body, as sort of a living martyrdom. Prereq: Nimbus of Light --- !! ``` ## Stigmata (Exalted) *You bear the marks of wounds on your body, as sort of a living martyrdom.* **Prerequisite:** Nimbus of Light **Benefit:** You can heal the wounds and ailments of others using your own life energy. When you activate this ability, as a free action, you immediately take at least 2 points of temporary Constitution damage. You can take as many points of Constitution damage as you wish, as long as you remain alive and conscious. Once you have activated your stigmata, you can touch your allies to heal them of 1 point of damage per level they possess for every 2 points of Constitution damage you take. In addition, any character you touch who is suffering from a disease can immediately make a new saving throw against that disease with a sacred bonus equal to the number of points of Constitution damage you took. If the character succeeds on that saving throw, she is freed from the disease. You can use this touch on one ally per point of Constitution damage you take. As with delivering a touch spell, you can touch up to six allies as a full-round action. A single person can only benefit once from each activation of your stigmata, but each activation lasts for 1 hour. For example, if you sacrifice 4 points of Constitution, you can grant four allies a number of hit points of healing equal to twice their level. Each ally who was suffering from a disease would make a new saving throw with a +4 sacred bonus. If only two of your allies were wounded at the time you activated the stigmata, you could “save” the other two uses for up to 1 hour, in case other characters become wounded within that time. Even if the characters you originally healed were injured again, however, they could not benefit from the same activation of your stigmata. When you use this ability, the wounds on your body bleed in proportion to the Constitution damage you take. The bleeding persists for 1 hour, and the Constitution damage cannot be restored by any means until the bleeding has stopped. Once the bleeding has stopped, you can freely activate the stigmata again, whether or not you have recovered your lost Constitution, as long as you have enough Constitution left to use the ability and survive. ``` @@ --- Feat: Still Mystery Tags: Metashadow Summ: You can cast mysteries without gestures.

A stitched flesh familiar appears similar to any of the standard familiars available in the _Player's Handbook_, except that the stitched flesh familiar is obviously sewn together from many different creatures of that kind and, to a practiced eye, is clearly an undead creature. A stitched flesh familiar is magically linked to its master in the same way as a normal familiar. A stitched flesh familiar uses the basic statistics for a creature of its kind, as given in the _Monster Manual_, except as noted below. _Hit Dice:_ A stitched flesh familiar has a d12 Hit Die and gains no bonus hit points from Constitution (since it is an undead creature). For effects that depend upon Hit Dice, use the master's character level or the familiar's normal Hit Dice total, whichever is higher. _Hit Points:_ Use 1/2 the master's total or the familiar's normal total, whichever is higher. _Attacks:_ Use the master's base attack bonus or the familiar's, whichever is higher. _Saving Throws:_ For each saving throw, use either the familiar's base save bonus or the master's (as calculated from his character level), whichever is higher. _Familiar Special Abilities:_ Use the second table in the Familiars sidebar on page 52 of the _Player's Handbook_ to determine additional abilities, just as you would for a normal familiar. Stitched flesh familiars do not grant their masters any of the benefits that appear on the first table in that sidebar. Instead of the noted special ability, a stitched flesh familiar grants its master the ability to control 4 more Hit Dice of undead than he is normally capable of controlling (both through the rebuke undead ability and through spells such as _animate dead_). ## Stone Colossus *You can focus a part of your power to increase the toughness of your skin.* **Prerequisite:** Base Fortitude save +3, earth genasi or oread **Benefit:** When you use the attack action or full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as -5 on your attack and add the same number (up to +5) to your Armor Class as a natural armor bonus.

While in this form, you gain a +4 bonus on Fortitude saves against poison. Your natural armor bonus becomes +4 (replacing any natural armor bonus you normally have, though you retain any enhancement bonus to natural armor). You also gain a slam attack that deals bludgeoning damage equal to a morningstar appropriate to your size (2d6 points for Large characters, 1d8 points for Medium characters, 1d6 points for Small characters). **Normal**:: Without this feat, a druid can only use wild shape to assume the form of an animal, plant, or elemental. ## Stone Power *The principles of the Stone Dragon discipline teach you how to gather and focus your raw, physical strength into an attack.* **Prerequisite:** Str 13, one Stone Dragon maneuver **Benefit:** When you use an attack action or a full attack action, or you initiate a Stone Dragon strike in melee combat, you can take a penalty of as much as –5 on your attack rolls. This number cannot exceed your base attack bonus. You gain temporary hit points equal to twice the number that you subtract from your attack rolls (to a maximum of +10). These temporary hit points last until the beginning of your next turn. **Special:** Stone Power can be used in place of Power Attack to qualify for a feat, prestige class, or other special ability. You can take both this feat and Power Attack. ## Stone Rage *Your bond with the earth and tough hide makes it easier for you to shrug off blows while you are raging.* **Prerequisite:** Con 13, Wis 13, Earth Sense, rage ability **Benefit:** As long as you are touching the ground when you begin your rage, you gain a +1 enhancement bonus to natural armor for the duration of the rage. ## Stone Slide *You have attuned yourself to stone to such an extent that you can merge with it for a short time.* **Prerequisite:** Base Fortitude save +4, earth genasi **Benefit:** Instead of using your spell-like ability to _pass without trace_, you may instead _meld into stone_ as a 5th-level druid. This uses your ability to _pass without trace_ for the day. ## Stone Soul *You were born with a dwarflike, innate sense about rock, stone, and construction.* **Prerequisite:** Deep Imaskar or slyth. **Benefit:** You gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks made to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. A construction that isn't stone but is disguised to look like stone also counts as unusual stonework. A character with the Stone Soul feat who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a cheek as if actively searching. **Special:** You may take this feat only as a 1st-level character. ## Stoneback You have studied the techniques of fighting underground, and you can protect yourself from the dangers of multiple attackers whenever you can put your back to a solid wall. **Prerequisite:** Shield Proficiency, Tunnel Fighting **Benefit:** If you have a ready shield with which you are proficient and one side of your space is entirely in contact with a solid wall, you cannot be flanked. **Special:** A fighter may select Stoneback as one of his fighter bonus feats ## Stoneblood *Your blood is thick like cooling lava, making it difficult for you to die after falling from injuries.* **Prerequisite:** Con 13, dwarf subtype **Region**:: . **Benefit:** When dying, you have a 50% chance per round to stabilize and stop bleeding to death. **Normal**:: A character normally has a 10% chance to stabilize when dying. ## Stoneshaper *You have a deep and abiding tie to earth and stone.* **Prerequisite:** Craft (stonemasonry) skill, stonecunning **Region**:: Gold Dwarf subtype, gray Dwarf subtype, shield Dwarf subtype, urdunnir. **Benefit:** You receive a +2 bonus on Craft (stonemasonry) checks and a +2 bonus on Stonecunning checks. ## Stonewalker Fist *You are trained in an unarmed fighting style that draws on your ability to pass through minerals as if they were air.* **Prerequisite:** Improved Unarmed Strike, urdunnir **Region**:: Urdunnir. **Benefit:** By altering the elemental structure of your fists in order to strike through a creature's armor, you may ignore up to a +4 armor bonus due to metal or stone armor or shields.

These touch attacks deal no damage. For each melee touch attack that hits, you gain a +5 bonus on melee damage rolls against that same foe on your next turn. _Fight the Horde:_ To use this option, you must deal damage to at least two different foes on your turn with melee attacks or Iron Heart strikes.

During your tainted fury, you can declare one melee attack to be a tainted smite and add half your corruption score to the damage dealt by that attack. If you strike a creature immune to the effects of taint (such as an undead creature or a creature with the Evil subtype), that tainted smite is expended but deals no additional damage. Your tainted fury lasts for a number of rounds equal to your corruption score. When it ends, you must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your corruption score). If you fail this save, you take 1d6 points of Constitution damage and are sickened for 1 minute. ``` @@ --- Feat: Talenta Warrior Tags: Racial Summ: You have trained with the ancestral weapons of the Talenta halflings and are particularly adept at striking from the back of a dinosaur mount.

For every daily use of your Bardic performance you expend during the casting of a spell, you can increase the effective level of that spell by +1. For example, you could cast _rainbow pattern_ and expend four uses of your Bardic performance to make that _rainbow pattern_ effectively an 8th-level spell (increasing the save DC by +4).

You can create a tattoo of any spell of 3rd level or lower that you know and that targets a creature or creatures. Creating a tattoo takes 1 hour, and it must be inked onto a creature with a corporeal body. When you create a tattoo, you set the caster level. The caster level must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a tattoo is its spell level X its caster level x 50 gp. To create a tattoo, you must spend 1/25th of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half this base price. When you create a tattoo, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. The bearer of the tattoo is the only one who can activate it and is always the target of the spell. Activating a tattoo requires the creature to touch the tattoo with either hand (the hand does not need to be empty). Activating a tattoo is a standard action that does not draw an attack of opportunity. Any tattoo that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when creating the tattoo. Normally, a magic tattoo uses a magic item space on the creature's body. For example, a creature with a tattoo on one of its hands could not gain the benefit from a magic glove on that hand. Likewise, a creature with a magic tattoo on its back does not receive the benefits of a magic cloak, cape, or mantle. In effect, the magic tattoo is always the first item "worn" on that part of the body, negating the effects of all other items. A tattoo can be created that does not use a magic item space, but the base price of such a tattoo is double the normal value. A magic tattoo can be erased with an _erase_ spell as if it were magic writing. Failing to erase the tattoo does not activate it. When a tattoo is activated, the ink pattern or design vanishes from the bearer's skin. ``` @@ --- Feat: Telepathic Affinity Tags: Host Summ: The entity you host gives you the ability to better communicate with other creatures.

To forge a link between yourself and the touchstone, you must spend a day in meditation, spending 10 XP and 250 gp in material components. Alternatively, the key object for the touchstone can be destroyed as part of the ritual, in place of the material components. **Benefit:** You gain the base ability associated with the touchstone to which you are linked. If you physically visit the location to which you have forged a link, you can also gain a higher-order ability with a limited number of uses, as described for that touchstone. You can swap sites any time you visit a new one and fulfill its higher-order recharge condition. See Touchstone Sites for more information. **Special:** You can take this feat more than once. Each time you do, you are able to retain one more touchstone site's base ability. You also gain the capacity to retain uses of one more touchstone's higher-order ability. Thus, by taking this feat twice, you could retain the base abilities for both the Shrine at Kahar and the Sunken City of Pazar simultaneously, as well as both sites’ higher-order abilities and uses. If you then visit a third touchstone site and fulfill its recharge condition, unless you have taken this feat three times, you must choose which of your two previous touchstone site abilities to lose as you gain the abilities of the new touchstone site. ``` @@ --- Feat: Toughening Transmutation Tags: Summ: Casting a transmutation spell briefly transforms your skin or that of an ally into sterner stuff.

In order to be worthy of your efforts, the opponent must have a Cr greater than your current level. A trophy has a value equal to the defeated creature's Cr × 100 gp.

A spell whose effects wouldn’t stack if it was cast twice under normal circumstances will create redundant effects if successfully twinned (see Combining Magical Effects, page 171 of the _Player's Handbook_). For example, a twinned _charm person_ doesn’t create a more potent or long-lasting effect, but any ally of the target would have to succeed on two dispel attempts in order to free the target from the charm.

The height you can achieve on the wall is limited only by this movement restriction. If you do not end your move on a horizontal surface, you fall prone, taking falling damage as appropriate for your distance above the ground. Treat the wall as a normal floor for the purpose of measuring your movement. Passing from floor to wall or wall to floor costs no movement; you can change surfaces freely. Opponents on the ground can make attacks of opportunity as you move up the wall. **Special:** You can take other move actions in conjunction with moving along a wall. For instance, the Spring Attack feat allows you to make an attack from the wall against a foe standing on the ground who is within the area you threaten; however, if you are somehow prevented from completing your move, you fall.

You can cut the time between Diplomacy checks in half (from 1 hour to 30 minutes), but you take a –5 penalty on the check.

Prereq: Volatile mind class feature --- !! ``` ## Volatile Escalation (Psionic) When you are attacked with a telepathic power, your innate wildness forces a higher mental price on your attacker. **Prerequisite:** Volatile mind class feature **Benefit:** While you are psionically focused and have not consciously lowered your volatile mind ability, the number of power points it costs a manifester to affect you is higher. A manifester who uses a telepathic power upon you while these conditions apply must pay an additional 1d4 power points on top of his normal cost. This effect stacks with that of the volatile mind class feature. ``` @@ --- Feat: Volatile Leech Tags: Psionic Summ: You gain the power points your attacker wastes attacking you with a telepathic power.

The power points you absorb in this fashion are added to your power point reserve; however, you can never gain more power points in this fashion than your normal power point maximum. It you already possess your maximum power points, your volatile mind ability works normally. ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Abstinence Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to abstain from alcoholic beverages, drugs, stimulants such as caffeine, and intoxication. Prereq: Sacred Vow --- !! ``` ## Vow Of Abstinence (Exalted) *You have taken a sacred vow to abstain from alcoholic beverages, drugs, stimulants such as caffeine, and intoxication.* **Prerequisite:** Sacred Vow **Benefit:** You gain a +4 perfection bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poisons and drugs (as long as you are subjected to a drug unwillingly). **Special:** To fulfill your vow, you must not consume intoxicating, stimulating, depressant, or hallucinogenic substances, including alcohol, caffeine, and other drugs. If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion, or otherwise unintentionally (a drug slipped into your drink, for example), you lose the benefit of this feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an _atonement_ spell. ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Chastity Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to refrain from marriage and sexual intercourse.

If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion, you lose the benefit of this feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an _atonement_ spell. ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Nonviolence Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to avoid violence against humanoids. Prereq: Sacred Vow --- !! ``` ## Vow Of Nonviolence (Exalted) *You have taken a sacred vow to avoid violence against humanoids.* **Prerequisite:** Sacred Vow **Benefit:** The saving throw DC for spells you cast or other special abilities you use against humanoid or monstrous humanoid targets is increased by +4 if the spell does not deal damage (including ability damage but not nonlethal damage), bestow negative levels, or cause death. Spells affected by this feat include most Abjuration, Enchantment, and Illusion spells (though not _phantasmal killer,_ for example), those few Divination spells that have targets and require saving throws (including _detect thoughts_ and _discern lies_), and even Necromancy spells such as _waves of fatigue_ and _ray of exhaustion._ It does not affect most Evocation, Conjuration, and Transmutation spells. The bonus granted by this feat does not stack with the bonus granted by the Spell Focus feat. It affects only saving throw DCs, not caster level checks or other elements of a spell. The benefit of this feat extends to special abilities other than spells that allow a saving throw, but only if the ability does not deal damage and is not dependent on dealing damage. For example, a character with the Stunning Fist feat can increase the saving throw DC to avoid being stunned by +4 if she deals nonlethal damage, rather than regular damage, with her stunning attack. A couatl's venom would not become more virulent because of this feat, however, because it deals ability damage and requires the couatl to deal hit point damage in order to deliver it. **Special:** To fulfill your vow, you must not cause harm or suffering to humanoid or monstrous humanoid foes. You may not deal real damage or ability damage to such foes through spells or weapons, though you may deal nonlethal damage. You may not target them with death effects, _disintegrate,_ pain effects, or other spells that have the immediate potential to cause death, suffering, or great harm. Your purity is so great that any ally of yours who slays a helpless or defenseless foe within 120 feet of you feels great remorse. Your ally takes a –1 morale penalty on his attack rolls for 1 hour per your character level. For each helpless foe slain, the attack penalty increases by 1, to a maximum equal to your character level. The duration of the increased penalty starts from the latest slaying. You may ask your allies to give you an oath that a helpless foe will not be slain. If the oath is sworn, an ally who later breaks the oath takes the penalty for doing so as if you were present. If you leave a helpless foe to be killed by your allies, you have broken your vow. You may ask a defeated creature to give you an oath of surrender or noninterference in exchange for its life. If the creature breaks this oath to you, you can allow your allies to deal with the creature as they see fit without breaking their oaths or your vow of nonviolence. If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion, you lose the benefit of this feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an _atonement_ spell. ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Obedience Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to live according to the dictates of another, generally your superior in a religious order or similar organization.

If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion, you lose the benefit of this feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an _atonement_ spell. ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Peace Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to abstain from harming any living creature. Prereq: Sacred Vow, Vow of Nonviolence --- !! ``` ## Vow Of Peace (Exalted) *You have taken a sacred vow to abstain from harming any living creature.* **Prerequisite:** Sacred Vow, Vow of Nonviolence **Benefit:** This sacred vow grants significant supernatural benefits, but its cost is high. First, you are constantly surrounded by a calming aura to a radius of 20 feet. Creatures within the aura must make a successful Will save (DC 10 + one-half your character level + your Cha modifier) or be affected as by the _calm emotions_ spell. Creatures who leave the aura and reenter it receive new saving throws. A creature that makes a successful saving throw and remains in the aura is unaffected until it leaves the aura and reenters. The aura is a mind-affecting, supernatural compulsion. Second, you gain a +2 natural armor bonus to your Ac, a +2 deflection bonus to your Ac, and a +2 exalted bonus to your AC. This exalted bonus does not apply to touch attacks and does not hinder incorporeal touch attacks. Brilliant energy weapons, however, do not ignore it. It does not stack with an armor bonus. If you also have the Vow of Poverty feat, the natural armor, deflection, and exalted Armor Class bonuses granted by that feat all increase by +2. If a creature strikes you with a manufactured weapon, the weapon must immediately make a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + one-half your character level + your Con modifier) or shatter against your skin, leaving you unharmed. Finally, you gain a +4 exalted bonus on all Diplomacy checks. **Special:** To fulfill your vow, you must not cause harm to any living creature (constructs and undead are not included in this prohibition). You may not deal real damage or ability damage to such creatures through spells or weapons, though you may deal nonlethal damage. You may not target them with death effects, _disintegrate,_ or other spells that have the immediate potential to cause death or great harm. You also may not use nondamaging spells to incapacitate or weaken living foes so that your allies can kill them—if you incapacitate a foe, you must take him prisoner. If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion or otherwise unwittingly, you lose the benefit of his feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an _atonement_ spell. (Characters who have taken a Vow of Peace are known to drink water through a strainer in order to avoid accidentally swallowing, and thereby causing harm to, a small insect.) ``` @@ --- Feat: Vow Of Poverty Tags: Exalted Summ: You have taken a sacred vow to forswear material possessions.

See Voluntary Poverty in Chapter 2 for details. **Special:** To fulfill your vow, you must not own or use any material possessions, with the following exceptions: You may carry and use ordinary (neither magic nor masterwork) simple weapons, usually just a quarterstaff that serves as a walking stick. You may wear simple clothes (usually just a homespun robe, possibly also including a hat and sandals) with no magical properties. You may carry enough food to sustain you for one day in a simple (nonmagic) sack or bag. You may carry and use a spell component pouch. You may not use any magic item of any sort, though you can benefit from magic items used on your behalf—you can drink a _potion of cure serious wounds_ a friend gives you, receive a spell cast from a wand, scroll, or staff, or ride on your companion's _ebony fly._ You may not, however, “borrow” a _cloak of resistance_ or any other magic item from a companion for even a single round, nor may you yourself cast a spell from a scroll, wand, or staff.

You may not touch fallen foes. You may fight undead foes, but must purify yourself as soon as possible afterward. You may touch dead characters in order to restore them to life (by way of a _raise dead_ or similar spell that requires you to touch the corpse), but for no other purpose. If you fight undead creatures or accidentally touch dead flesh, you must purify yourself in a special ritual that requires 1 hour and a flask of holy water.

The DC of this check is 10 + (the item's gp cost minus the community's gp limit, divided by 1,000). If this check succeeds, you learn of a merchant who can supply the item to you. You must still purchase it as normal. - _Intuitive Communication:_ When you are faced with a creature whose language you do not understand, you can attempt to communicate with it by making a successful Sense Motive check. This check requires that you spend at least 1 minute listening to the creature and watching its gestures and demeanor. The check's base DC is 20. If the creature is not the same type as you, the DC is 30.<br>With a successful check, you learn the basic gist of the creature's speech. This ability gives you no special talent to speak the creature's tongue. - _Social Agility:_ You can temporarily alter a creature's attitude toward you. You can use Bluff against an unfriendly or less hostile creature in the same way you use Diplomacy. Using Bluff in this manner is a standard action that takes no special penalties.

You can't change the weapon's target, but you can apply a +2 bonus or -2 penalty on its attack roll. You and the target can be no farther apart than 10 feet per level of the highest-level air spell you have available, since the guidance occurs at the end of the weapon's flight. This feat works only on thrown or projectile weapons; it can't affect spells, powers, energy attacks, or the like. As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus to your caster level when casting air spells. ``` @@ --- Feat: Windsinger Tags: Summ: You can use song or a wind instrument to compel the winds to obey you.

The bard who possesses this feat is highly favored aboard a sailing vessel; indeed, a bard who demonstrates the ability to control the wind to some degree is usually given an officer's position aboard ship. **Prerequisite:** Bardic performance class feature, Perform (sing or wind instruments) 5 ranks **Benefit:** By expending a daily Bardic performance use, you can lull the winds around a single ship into well-tamed gusts. They continue to blow into the sails of the ship as normal for their speed, but their effects on the crew are one stage in intensity less (see Table 1–2 on page 23). Thus, a strong wind affected by this ability continues to propel the ship along as normal for a strong wind, but it only affects the crew as though it were a moderate wind. You can also alter the direction of the wind by one compass point (from north to north-west or north-east, from south-west to west or south, etc.). These effects last as long as the bard continues to perform his Bardic performance, plus 10 rounds after the music has ended. ``` @@ --- Feat: Wing Expert Tags: Tactical Summ: You can use your wings to create a variety of effects. Prereq: Flyby Attack, wings and a glide or fly speed --- !! ``` ## Wing Expert (Tactical) You can use your wings to create a variety of effects. **Prerequisite:** Flyby Attack, wings and a glide or fly speed **Benefit:** The Wing Expert feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers. - _Wing Buffet:_ To use this maneuver, you must charge an opponent. On the round after the charge, you can flutter your wings in a distracting manner while you make a melee attack or attacks against the same opponent you charged. If that opponent fails a DC 20 Reflex save, you gain a +2 bonus for your turn on your melee attack rolls against the distracted opponent. You cannot make a wing buffet again until after you make another charge. - _Wing Defense:_ To use this maneuver, you must have taken the total defense action. On the round after doing so, if you do not use your wings to fly, you can flutter your wings in such a way as to gain concealment for the round. - _Wing Fan:_ To use this maneuver, you must have used at least one move action in the previous round to fly or glide at least 30 feet. As a full-round action in the next round, you can use your wings to produce an effect identical to a _gust of wind_ spell with a range of 30 feet. Using this maneuver makes you fatigued. You cannot use this maneuver if you are exhausted. ``` @@ --- Feat: Winged Warrior Tags: Tactical Summ: You use your wings for more than just flying. Prereq: Hover, must have wings, base attack bonus +4 --- !! ``` ## Winged Warrior (Tactical) *You use your wings for more than just flying.* **Prerequisite:** Hover, must have wings, base attack bonus +4 **Benefit:** The Winged Warrior feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers. - _Dustup:_ To use this maneuver, you must be standing in, or flying no more than 10 feet above, an area with a lot of loose debris. If you flap your wings hard as a move action, the draft creates a hemispherical cloud with a radius of 20 feet. Clear vision within the cloud is limited to 10 feet. Creatures 11 to 20 feet away have concealment. At over 20 feet, creatures have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level) to cast a spell. - _Flying Leap:_ To use this maneuver, you must move a distance greater than your base land speed during the round. If you do, you gain a +4 bonus on Jump, Balance, and Climb checks because your wings give you lift and stabilize you. - _Shroud of Feathers:_ To use this maneuver, you must spend a move action to pull your wings around your body. You cannot be flying during this maneuver. You can then attempt to feint in combat (as described in the Bluff skill description, page 68 of the _Player's Handbook_) as part of your attack, suddenly spreading your wings to reveal your weapon just as it's about to land a blow. The shroud of feathers maneuver works on a given foe only once per combat. **Special:** The Hover feat grants creatures of Large size or larger a bigger dust cloud than that granted with the dustup maneuver. **Special:** A fighter may select Winged Warrior as one of his fighter bonus feats. ``` @@ --- Feat: Wingstorm Tags: Monstrous Summ: You can flatten targets with blasts of air from your wings.

The wind strength also depends on your size, as shown on the table below. | | | | | |---|---|---|---| |Size|Wind Effect|Radius|Max. Height| |Large|Severe|10 feet|40 feet| |Huge|Windstorm|20 feet|80 feet| |Gargantuan|Hurricane|30 feet|100 feet| |Colossal|Tornado|40 feet|120 feet| Because the blast of air only lasts for your turn, creatures ignore the checked effect unless they are airborne (in which case they are blown back 1d6 × 5 feet). **Special:** You can use this feat for a full round instead of as a full-round action. If you do, the wind lasts until your next turn (and you can choose to continue the effect during your next turn). Anyone in or entering the cylinder is affected. Because you are producing a continuous blast of air, the checked effect works normally while the wind lasts (checked creatures cannot move forward against the force of the wind, or they are blown back 1d6×5 feet if airborne). ``` @@ --- Feat: Winter's Blast Tags: Reserve Summ: The frozen magic within you can burst forth in a hail of frost.

This cone deals 1d4 points of cold damage per level of the highest-level cold spell you have available to cast. A successful Reflex save halves the damage. As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus to your caster level when casting cold spells. ``` @@ --- Feat: Winter's Champion Tags: Summ: Your paladin spell list is enhanced.

You do not gain the ability to cast spells of these domains of 5th level or higher, nor do you gain the granted powers of the domains. **Special:** If you have any levels of cleric, these additional domains are not available to your cleric levels, since they are technically paladin spells in this case. ``` @@ --- Feat: Winter's Child Tags: Summ: You are adapted to a cold environment.

The DC of your Fortitude save to avoid nonlethal damage from cold is reduced to 10 (see Cold Dangers in Chapter 3 of the _Dungeonmaster's Guide_). In addition, you can make a saving throw each minute (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) to resist the effects of hypothermia in very cold water. ``` @@ --- Feat: Winter's Mount Tags: Summ: Your special mount is native to the frostfell.

Your special mount is also hardier than a nonfrostfell version; it gains a +2 racial bonus to Constitution. ``` @@ --- Feat: Wisdom Breeds Caution Tags: Summ: Not getting into a dangerous situation is generally the wisest course, but if danger is unavoidable, you're prepared.

You rely more on caution and forethought than you do on physical prowess.* **Prerequisite:** Slyth or svirfneblin. **Benefit:** At 1st level, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Constitution modifier to determine bonus hit points. At each level thereafter, you use your Constitution modifier normally to determine bonus hit points, but you also gain +1 hit point for every point of permanent Wisdom you gain. **Special:** You may take this feat only as a 1st-level character. **Normal**:: Your Constitution modifier determines your bonus hit points at every character level. ## Woodwise You are trained in fighting in woodlands and know how to use the terrain to best advantage. **Region**:: **Benefit:** You ignore hampered movement penalties from naturally occurring moderate or heavy undergrowth. (You are still hampered by magically enhanced brush and plants.)

On the first round, you and your allies gain normal flanking bonuses (+2 on attack rolls). Starting in the second round that you and at least one ally flank a foe, you can make a ferocious attack that forces the foe to concentrate on you and largely ignore your allies. You make a melee attack as a full-round action. If you hit, you make a special Bluff check as a free action; the damage your attack dealt applies as a bonus on your check. The foe you attack opposes your attack with a special Sense Motive check, adding her base attack bonus to the check. If you win the opposed check, your foe turns her attention to you, and each of your allies who are in position to give you a flanking bonus can make an attack of opportunity against that foe. - _Drive Back:_ To use this maneuver, you and at least one ally must threaten the same foe, and at least one of those allies must use the aid another action to assist your attack roll. You make a melee attack as a full-round action. If you hit, you make a free bull rush attempt without moving into the defender's space or provoking attacks of opportunity. Resolve the bull rush normally, except that you add the damage your attack dealt as a bonus on the Strength check you make to resolve the bull rush. You can’t push an opponent back more than 5 feet with this maneuver. - _Gang Dodge:_ This maneuver allows you to use the aid another action to assist all allies who threaten the same foe you target with the action. You use a standard action as normal to aid an ally's defense (see the Aid Another special attack, page 154 of the _Player's Handbook_). If you succeed, all your allies who threaten your foe gain a +2 bonus to AC against that foe's attacks until the beginning of your next turn, provided that you continue to threaten that foe for that time. ``` @@ --- Feat: Wolverine's Rage Tags: Wild Summ: You can fly into a berserk rage when injured.

This rage lasts for 5 rounds and cannot be ended voluntarily. ``` @@ --- Feat: Woodland Archer Tags: Tactical Summ: You have honed your archery ability in the wilds of the forest.

Subsequent shots you take against that foe this round gain a +4 bonus, because you’re able to quickly adjust your aim to compensate. - _Pierce the Foliage:_ To use this maneuver, you must hit a foe with a ranged attack despite the miss chance caused by concealment. Shots you take against that foe in the next round don’t incur the miss chance because you’re able to exactly duplicate your draw and aim. - _Moving Sniper:_ To use this maneuver, you must succeed on a sniping attack (see the Hide skill description, page 76 of the _Player's Handbook_), both hitting your intended target and successfully hiding thereafter. If no one sees you, you can make a sniping attack again in the following round, taking a single move after your attack and before you hide (characters without this feat can only shoot and hide, not move as well). As long as you continue to hit the target and avoid detection from an enemy, you can make a sniping attack on the move each round. **Special:** A fighter may select Woodland Archer as one of his fighter bonus feats. ``` @@ --- Feat: Words Of Creation Tags: Exalted Summ: You have learned a few of the words that were spoken to create the world.

Each ceremony requires 5 minutes, but their forms vary as described below. Each ceremony can affect up to six individuals, and the effects last for 24 hours. _Ancient Tongue (4 ranks):_ Using a tindertwig, you burn dragon runes onto a piece of bread (one per participant) and place it on the participant's tongue, thereby sharing your knowledge of the ancient language of dragons. Each participant gains the ability to speak and understand the Draconic language. - _Potent Words (8 ranks):_ You write mystic incantations on a flask of alchemist's fire (one per participant), making it safe to consume. Each participant then drinks the contents of the flask. When a participant casts a language-dependent spell, his caster level is increased by 1. Participants also gain a +1 bonus on saves against language-dependent spells. - _Arcane Syllables (14 ranks):_ You scribe a single draconic rune on a pearl worth at least 1,000 gp (one per participant), which is consumed by the participant. At any one time during the next 24 hours, the participant can choose to activate the ceremony's power as an Immediate action. This has one of two effects, chosen by the participant. - If the character is being subjected to a _power word_ spell, he can treat his current hit points as twice their actual number for the purpose of determining the effect of the spell. For example, a character with 55 hit points who activated this ability in response to a power word kill spell would be unaffected by the spell (since he would effectively have 110 hit points). - If the character is capable of casting a _power word_ spell (that is, he either has such a spell prepared, or he knows one and has a spell slot available to cast it), he can cast that _power word_ spell with no additional action required. Doing this expends the prepared spell or spell slot as normal. ``` @@ --- Feat: Wounding Attack Tags: Psionic Summ: Your vicious attacks wound your foe.

On each subsequent round, the victim loses 1 hit point at the beginning of your turn. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped with a Heal check (DC equal to the spell's save Dc, or the save DC it would otherwise have in the case of a spell with no save), a cure spell, or a heal spell. You cannot apply this feat to a spell that does not deal damage (such as _charm person_ or _baleful polymorph_).
