General Feats

Great Ability

Select one ability score.

Prerequisite: Character level 1st.

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to ability checks and skill checks made with your selected ability score.

Special: This feat can be selected multiple times; its effects can stack or apply to a new ability score. Each time it is selected its character level prerequisite increases by 5 for the purpose of selecting the same ability score but not for selecting a new one.

Reliable Ability

Select one feat, class ability, or spell which you have.

Benefit: Whenever you use the selected ability, you do not lose a use of it if you miss with your attack. For example, a paladin that acquired Reliable Smite would not lose a daily use of her Smite ability if she made an attack with it and missed though she would still expend the daily use if she hit a nonevil creature or failed to overcome a target's spell resistance. A fighter that selected Reliable Grapple Strike (see Combat Strike) would be able to make a Grapple Strike with the first attack that hit the round they used it rather than purely the first attack. A wizard that selected Reliable Fireball would not lose a daily spell slot for fizzling a fireball spell.

Special: This feat can be selected multiple times; its effects do not stack. Each time it is selected it allows you to select a new ability with this feat.

Gamemasters should have their players approve specific abilities before allowing this feat.

Combat Feats

Canny Defense

Select Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma.

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Dodge.

Benefit: While you wear no armor and do not use a shield you gain an insight bonus to your defense equal to your selected ability modifier.

Special: This feat can only be taken once and should not stack with other effects granting you an AC bonus based on a mental ability score unless the DM has already rule other such abilities to stack with each other.

Combat Strike

Select one of the following: Bull Rush, Disarm, Distract*, Feint, Grapple, Sunder, Trip.

Prerequisite: Improved (selected combat action), base attack +1. These prerequisites may vary based on the prerequisite feat's prerequisites.

Benefit: As a swift action you may add a secondary effect to your next melee attack roll. If this melee attack hits, you can then take your selected combat action as a free action without having to roll another melee touch attack. You must make this attack before the end of your turn. If you make additional attacks in one round they do not benefit from this feat.

Special: Distract is a new combat action. As a standard action anyone can make a Bluff check opposed against a single target's Sense Motive check. Success means the target is dazed for 1 round. The target must be within 30 feet and you must be able to see and hear each other.

This feat can be selected multiple times; its effects do not stack. Each time it is selected it allows you to use a new combat action with this feat.

Evasion

Prerequisite: Lightning Reflexes, character level 1st.

Benefit: If you make a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage or reduced effect on a successful save, you instead take no damage or effect. Evasion can be used only if you wear light or no armor and carry no more than a light load. You lose the benefits of this feat in any situation that you are denied your Dexterity modifier to AC.

Flexible Armor Tactics

Prerequisite: Str 13, Any armor proficiency.

Benefit: While wearing armor which you are proficient with, you increase its Max Dex by an amount equal to your Strength modifier. This cannot increase your Max Dex beyond double its normal limit, not including bonuses from magical effects, special abilities or other feats.

Special: Distract is a new combat action. As a standard action anyone can make a Bluff check opposed against a single target's Sense Motive check. Success means the target is dazed for 1 round. The target must be within 30 feet and you must be able to see and hear each other.

This feat can be selected multiple times; its effects do not stack. Each time it is selected it allows you to use a new combat action with this feat.

Greater Unarmed Strike

Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike, character level 6th.

Benefit: You gain the same benefits that a 4th-level Monk does with your unarmed strike. Essentially, the damage you deal with your unarmed strike improves by one dice size and you treat your unarmed strike as a magic weapon for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Special: This does not stack with the benefits gained from the Monk class or Monk abilities as they essentially acquire this feat naturally but in a broken order.

Group Dodge

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Dodge.

Benefit: You may apply your +1 dodge bonus from the Dodge feat to all opponents instead of having to select just one.

Source: Arkangelknight(creator)

Special: Other feats or effects which improve the dodge bonuses specifically from the dodge feat do not stack with this feat's effects unless exclusively noted otherwise.

Source: Arkangelknight (creator); --Arkangelknight 12:49, September 9, 2009 (UTC)--

Improved Dodge

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Dodge, character level 6th.

Benefit: Your dodge bonus from the Dodge feat improves by +1.

Special: Dodge bonuses should be treated as Dexterity bonuses for the purpose of Max Dex from armor and shields. This means that the sum of a character's Dexterity bonus and Dodge bonuses cannot exceed their Max Dex for their armor or shield (whichever is lower).

This stacks with the Group Dodge feat.

Upgrades: Greater Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 11th.

Perfect Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 16th.

Epic Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 21st.

Mettle

Prerequisite: Great Fortitude, character level 1st.

Benefit: If you make a successful Fortitude saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage or reduced effects on a successful save, you instead take no damage or effect.

Resolve

Prerequisite: Iron Will, character level 1st.

Benefit: If you make a successful Will saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage or reduced effects on a successful save, you instead take no damage or effect.

Sneak Attack

Prerequisite: Hide 6 ranks, Move Silently 6 ranks.

Benefit: When you hit a creature that is denied their Dexterity modifier to AC, you deal an extra 2d6 points of damage. This does not function against creatures immune to critical hits.

Special: This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken the skill rank prerequisites increase by 2.

This feat does not stack with the Rogue's ability since they effectively acquire this feat at in differing intervals.

Source: Arkangelknight (creator); --Arkangelknight 13:49, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Trap Sense

Prerequisite: Search 6 ranks, character level 1st.

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to AC against attacks made by traps and a +4 bonus to Reflex saves made against traps (including spell traps such as Explosive Runes or Fire Trap).

Special: This feat can be taken multiple times; its effects stack. Each time it is taken the skill rank and character level prerequisites increase by 10.

Source: Arkangelknight (creator); --Arkangelknight 13:49, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Uncanny Dodge

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Dodge, character level 1st.

Benefit: When attacked while flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker, you make an opposed Initiative check against the attacker. If you meet or exceed the attacker's roll you retain your Dexterity modifier and dodge bonuses (if any) against such attacks. An attacker that is half your level or lower automatically fails this opposed check. However, you still lose your Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Uncanny Dodge, Improved

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Uncanny Dodge, Dodge, character level 6th.

Benefit: When attacked while flanked, you make an opposed Initiative check against the attacker. If you meet or exceed the attacker's roll you retain your Dexterity modifier and dodge bonuses (if any) against such attacks. An attacker that is half your level or lower automatically fails this opposed check. However, you still lose your Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Special: Dodge bonuses should be treated as Dexterity bonuses for the purpose of Max Dex from armor and shields. This means that the sum of a character's Dexterity bonus and Dodge bonuses cannot exceed their Max Dex for their armor or shield (whichever is lower).

This stacks with the Group Dodge feat.

Upgrades: Greater Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 11th.

Perfect Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 16th.

Epic Dodge stacks the same bonuses but requires character level 21st.

Magic Feats

Arcane Strike

Prerequisite: Base attack +1, caster level 1st.

Benefit: As a swift action you may add damage to your the next attack you make by expending a daily spell slot. The added damage is equal to 1d6 per spell level (or 1d3 for a 0-level spell). This damage is pure arcane energy but spell resistance still applies normally as if you'd cast a spell on the target of your attack. You must make this attack before the end of your turn. You cannot apply these benefits to an attack made as part of a spell (such as the ranged touch attack of a Scorching Ray or the melee touch attack of a Finger of Death spell).

Animal Companion

Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.

Benefit: You gain an animal companion as a druid whose level is equal to your caster level.

Special: If you already have a familiar or special mount, this instead grants your familiar or special mount the special abilities of an animal companion (but not bonus HD, natural armor boost, or ability boosts).

You cannot select this feat if you already have an animal companion.

Source: Arkangelknight (creator), --Arkangelknight 14:15, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.

Benefit: You gain a familiar as a sorcerer whose level is equal to your caster level.

Source: Arkangelknight (creator), --Arkangelknight 14:15, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

You cannot select this feat if you already have a special mount.
