At any time, you may retreat to a consecrated or hallowed location and spend your time in prayer in order to awaken the spirits in your ancestral relic. This requires a sacrifice of valuable items worth the difference between the market value of the magic item your relic will become and the market price of your current relic.

You must spend one day per 1,000 gp you sacrifice. During this time, you must spend at least 8 hours each day in prayer or meditation, not stopping to eat or rest.
A character’s level dictates the maximum value of his or her ancestral relic, as seen below.

Unless the spell visibly emanates from you, or observers have some other means of determining its source, they don’t know where the effect came from.

Benefit: Whenever you are struck by an attack that drains energy or bestows negative levels, you gain an immediate saving throw to resist the effect at the standard Difficulty Class of the attack.
If this initial save is successful, you avoid any negative levels but you still suffer any other effects of the attack or spell. If this save fails, the attack proceeds as if this roll had never been made (meaning you still receive whatever save to which you are normally entitled).

Special: The God Touched feat is incompatible with the Disciple of Darkness, Favored of the Companions, Knight of Stars, Servant of the Heavens, and Thrall of Demon feats. Your allegiance is only yours to give only once.

Benefit: You can create and control an additional 8 HD of undead creatures when casting the animate dead spell.
If you are a cleric attempting to command undead by virtue of a turning check, you can also control an additional 4 HD of undead.

Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Illidair.

Prerequisites: Perform 10 ranks, bardic music.
Benefit: You can alter any of your mind-affecting bardic music abilities (or similar Perform-based abilities from other classes) so that they influence only plant creatures instead of other creatures. However, plants receive a +5 bonus on Will saves against any of these effects.

Prerequisites: Sneak attack ability, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: If you hit with a melee sneak attack, you may choose to forgo 2d6 points of extra sneak attack damage to reduce your opponent’s base speed by half.
The speed reduction ends after a successful DC 15 Heal check or the application of any cure spell or other form of magical healing is made.
Creatures immune to sneak attack damage and creatures with no legs cannot be slowed down with a hamstring attack, and you must succeed on a number of successful hamstring attacks equal to or greater than half the number of legs a creature has in order to reduce its land speed.
Other movement speeds (fly, burrow, and so on) are unaffected. You may use this ability once per round.

Haunting Melody [General]You can use your music to inspire fear as well as courage.
Prerequisites: Bardic music, Perform 9 ranks.
Benefit: When you sing or use some other Perform skill, you can unnerve enemies within 30 feet of you. Any opponent within range must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 10 + ½ your bard level + your Charisma modifier) or become shaken for a number of rounds equal to your ranks in the Perform skill. This is a mind-affecting fear ability.
Using this ability counts as one of your daily uses of bardic music. This feat does not function in an area of magical silence.
Hear the Unseen [General]Your sense of hearing is so acute that you can partially pinpoint an opponent’s location by sound, allowing you to strike even if the opponent is concealed or displaced.
Prerequisites: Listen 5 ranks, Blind-Fight.
Benefit: As a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, you can attempt a DC 25 Listen check. If successful, you can pinpoint the location of all foes within 30 feet, as long as you have line of effect to them. This benefit does not eliminate the normal miss chance for fighting foes with concealment, but it ensures that you can target the correct square with your attacks.
If you are deafened or within an area of silence, you cannot use this feat. If an invisible or hidden opponent is attempting to move silently, your Listen check is opposed by your opponent’s Move Silently check, but your opponent gains a+15 bonus on this check. This feat does not work against perfectly silent opponents, such as incorporeal creatures.
Heighten Spell-Like Ability [General]You can use one of your spell-like abilities as if it were a higher spell-level equivalent than it actually is.
Prerequisite: Spell-like ability at caster level 6th or higher.
Benefit: Choose one of your spell-like abilities that duplicates a spell of a level less than or equal to half your caster level, minus 2. The spell-level equivalent of the heightened spell-like ability is two higher than normal, with all effects dependant on spell level (including saving throw DCs) calculated at the higher level.
You may apply this feat to a spell-like ability three times per day, though this feat does not allow you to exceed your normal usage limit for any ability.

Prerequisite: Must follow a code of conduct, such as a crusader or druid.
Benefit: You gain a +5 bonus on Charisma checks made when interacting with those who share the same alignment as yourself, or when dealing with those who follow the same code as you do.

Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Evaine.

The benefit of this feat applies only to psionic powers and psi-like abilities.
Special: You cannot take this feat if you have the ability to use powers (if you have a power point reserve or psi-like abilities).
If you later gain the ability to use psionic powers or psi-like abilities, your manifester level is considered to be four levels lower than normal (minimum 1st level).
Hostile Mind, Improved [General]Your mind lashes out violently against those who use psionics against you.
Prerequisites: Cha 15, Hostile Mind.
Benefit: You deal an additional 2d6 points of damage to manifesters who fail their saving throws against your Hostile Mind feat.
Special: You cannot take this feat if you have the ability to use powers (if you have a power point reserve or psi-like abilities).
If you later gain the ability to use psionic powers or psi-like abilities, your manifester level is considered to be four levels lower than normal (minimum 1st level).
Improved Counterspell [General]You understand the nuances of spellcasting to such an extent that you can counter an opponent’s spells with great efficiency.
Benefit: When counterspelling, you may use a spell of the same school that is one or more levels higher than the target spell.
Improved Familiar [General]You may acquire a familiar from a nonstandard list.
Prerequisites: Ability to acquire a new familiar, compatible alignment, sufficient arcane caster level and base attack bonus.
Benefit: When choosing a familiar, the creatures listed below are available to the spellcaster.

Improved Smiting [General]Your smite attacks deal more damage to specific foes, and can damage creatures with alignment-based damage reduction.
Prerequisite: Cha 13, smite ability.
Benefit: Whenever you make a smite attack, your attack overcomes damage reduction as if it had an alignment, and you deal an extra +1d6 points of damage to targets of a specific alignment.
If the smite attack has an alignment associated with it, it deals its extra damage to foes of that alignment and it is treated as having the opposite alignment for overcoming damage reduction.
If the smite has no alignment associated with it, you must choose an alignment component (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) when you select this feat. Your attack overcomes damage reduction as if they had that alignment, and deal +1d6 points of damage to foes of the opposite alignment.
You cannot choose an alignment component that is not part of your own alignment, and once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. If you later change alignment so that the chosen alignment component is no longer part of your alignment, you lose the benefits of this feat.
Special: If you have the smite ability from more than one class, the effects of this feat apply to each of your smite abilities.

Improved Turning [General]Your turning or rebuking powers are more powerful than normal.
Prerequisite: Turn or rebuke ability.
Benefit: You turn or rebuke creatures as if you were two levels higher in the class that grants you the ability.
Special: This ability applies to each of your turn or rebuke abilities, even if they turn or rebuke creatures of different types.
Instantaneous Rage [General]You activate your rage instantly.
Prerequisite: Rage or Frenzy ability.
Benefit: Your rage begins at any time you wish, even if it is not your turn or when you’re surprised. You can activate your rage in response to another’s action. Thus, you can gain the benefits of your rage in time to prevent or lessen an undesirable effect.
Innate Spell [General]You have mastered a spell so thoroughly that you can use it as a spell-like ability.
Prerequisite: Quicken Spell, Silent Spell, Still Spell.
Benefit: Choose any spell you can cast. You can now cast this spell at will as a spell-like ability once per round. One spell slot eight levels higher than the innate spell is permanently used to power it, and any XP cost for the innate spell is pain each time you use it.
In addition, you must have any focus required by the spell in order to use it as a spell-like ability, and if the spell has a costly material component, you must use an item worth 50 times that component as an additional focus for the spell-like ability.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times, gaining a new spell-like ability (with the appropriate costs) each time.

Benefit: If you possess the item creation feats necessary to create an item, you may inspect that item and determine its magical qualities. After spending an hour examining an item, you may make a Spellcraft check with a DC of 20 + the item’s required caster level.

Jack of All Trades [General]You have picked up a smattering of even the most obscure skills.
Prerequisite: Int 13.
Benefit: You can use any skill as if you had a half rank in that skill. This benefit allows you to attempt checks with skills that normally don’t allow untrained skill checks (such as Decipher Script and Knowledge skills). If a skill doesn’t allow skill checks (such as Speak Language), this feat has no effect with regards to that skill.
Ki Shout [General]You can bellow forth a shout that strikes terror in your enemies.
Prerequisites: Cha 13, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: Making a ki shout is a standard action. Opponents who can hear your shout and are within 30 feat of you may become shaken for 1d6 rounds, unless they succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 10 + half your character level + your Cha modifier).

Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Hedvara.

Lyric Spell [General]You can channel the power of your bardic music into your magic, allowing you to expend uses of your bardic music ability to cast spells.
Prerequisites: Bardic music, Perform 9 ranks, ability to spontaneously cast 2nd level arcane spells.
Benefit: You can expend daily uses of your bardic music to cast any arcane spell that you know and can cast spontaneously. You must still use an action to cast the spell (following the normal rules for casting time), but using this feat counts as part of the spellcasting action.
Casting the spell requires one use of your bardic music, plus one additional use per day per level of the spell.
If you use an instrument with your bardic music, it becomes an additional arcane focus for the spell.
You cannot use this feat to cast a spell improved by the Silent Spell feat.
Mage Slayer [General]You have studied the ways and weaknesses of spellcasters and can time your attacks and defenses against them expertly.
Prerequisites: Spellcraft 2 ranks, base attack bonus +3.

Magic of the Land [General]Your intimate understanding of the natural world allows you to imbue your spells with life-giving magical power from the land itself.
Prerequisites: Concentration 5 ranks, Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks, Spellcraft 5 ranks, caster level 1st.
Benefit: When in a natural setting, you can draw upon the power of the land to imbue your spells with healing power. For the purpose of this feat, a natural setting is defined as any location not within a community and not a constructed area.
To use this feat, you must succeed on a Knowledge (nature) check (DC 15 + spell level), made as a free action while casting a spell. You cannot take 10 on this check. 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. The natural world favors balance in all things, and thus does not support specific alignment-based magic.
Magic of the Wastes [General]You have uncovered the ancient Sethsarri secrets of defiling magic, the art of siphoning power from the natural world to power your spellcasting.
Prerequisites: Concentration 5 ranks, Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks, Spellcraft 5 ranks, caster level 1st.
Benefit: Your spellcasting now uses the rules for defiling magic. If you are a druid or a divine spellcaster with Ayna as your patron deity, merely taking this feat is a violation of your vows, and you lose your divine powers as appropriate.
Magic’s Champion [General]You devotion to Selasarae has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Selasarae.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Magic and Spell domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.
Martial Weapon Proficiency [General]Choose a type of martial weapon, such as a longbow. You understand how to use that type of weapon in combat.
Benefit: You make attack rolls with the selected weapon normally.
Normal: Using a weapon with which you are not proficient results in a -4 penalty to your attack rolls.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time, you gain proficiency in a new martial weapon.
Mental Resistance [General]Your mind is armored against mental intrusion.
Prerequisite: Base Will save +2.
Benefit: Against psionic attacks that do not employ an energy type to deal damage, such as mind thrust, you gain damage reduction 3/–. In addition, when you are hit with ability damage (but not ability drain or ability burn damage) from a psionic attack, you take 3 points less than you would normally take.
The benefits of this feat apply only to psionic powers and psi-like abilities.
Special: You cannot take this feat if you have the ability to use powers (if you have a power point reserve or psi-like abilities).
If you later gain the ability to use psionic powers or psi-like abilities, your manifester level is considered to be four levels lower than normal (minimum 1st level).
Might Makes Right [General]Your great strength draws more followers.

Prerequisites: Perform (any one) 5 ranks, Spell Focus (illusion), bardic music.
Benefit: As you cast a spell of the illusion school, you may spend one daily use of your bardic music ability to increase the caster level and saving throw DC of that spell by 1. These bonuses stack with those provided by other feats, such as Spell Focus.
Mobile Spellcasting [General]You can keep your wits about you and focus on a spell even while running from your enemy or moving to attack.
Prerequisite: Concentration 8 ranks.
Benefit: You can make a special Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) when casting a spell. If the check succeeds, you can cast the spell and move up to your speed as a single standard action. If the check fails, you lose the spell and fail to cast it, just as if you had failed a Concentration check to cast the spell defensively.
You cannot use this ability to cast a spell that takes longer than 1 standard action to cast. You still provoke attacks of opportunity for casting spells from any creatures who threaten you at any point in your movement. You may choose to finish casting your spell at any point of your movement.
You can cast defensively while using this feat, but doing so increases the Concentration DC to 20 + spell level.
Mortalbane [General]You can make one of your innate abilities particularly damaging to mortals.
Benefit: Choose one of your spell-like or psi-like abilities. This ability deals an additional 2d6 points of damage of the same type against living non-outsiders, but only half damage against other creatures.
You may apply this feat to a spell-like or psi-like ability three times per day, though this feat does not allow you to exceed your normal usage limit for any ability.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, you may apply it to a different spell-like or psi-like ability.
Mortifying Attack [General]Those who witness your brutal death attack are unnerved and jarred by the experience.
Prerequisite: Death attack.
Benefit: All creatures within 30 feet of a target you make a successful death attack against must succeed on a Will save (DC equals death attack damage dealt) or be shaken for 2d4 rounds.
In addition, creatures that fail their saves are so horrified by the attack that they lose their Dexterity bonus to Armor Class for 1 round. The target of the death attack must also make a save if it survives. This ability is a fear effect.
Mother Cyst [General]You gain the ability to cast necrotic cyst spells by growing a cyst of your own.
Prerequisites: Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks, caster level 1st.
Benefit: You grow an internal cyst of undead flesh and necrotic fluids called a mother cyst. The cyst may be noticeable as a discolored swelling on your skin, if desired. The mother cyst is slightly painful, but otherwise is not harmful. The mother cyst grants you access to a selection of cyst-related spells listed below. You may cast these spell as if they were any type of spell you can cast (if you are a caster who prepares spells, you can prepare each of these spells without referring to a spellbook, as if you had the Spell Mastery feat with each such spell).
Necrotic Cyst Spells: 1st–necrotic awareness; 2nd–necrotic cyst, necrotic scrying; 3rd–necrotic bloat; 4th–necrotic domination; 5th–necrotic burst; 6th–necrotic eruption; 7th–necrotic tumor; 8th–necrotic empowerment; 9th–necrotic termination.
Multicultural [General]You blend in well with members of a different race.

Natural Bond [General]Your bond with your animal companion is exceptionally strong.
Prerequisite: Animal companion.
Benefit: Add three to your effective druid level for the purpose of determining the bonus Hit Dice, extra tricks, special abilities, and other bonuses that your animal companion receives. This bonus can never make your druid level exceed your character level.
Natural Spell [General]You can cast spells while in a wild shape.
Prerequisites: Wis 13, wild shape ability.
Benefit: You complete the verbal and somatic components of a spell while in a wild shape. For example, while in the form of a hawk, you could substitute screeches and gestures with your talons for the normal verbal and somatic components of a spell. You can use any material components or focuses that you possess, even if such items are melded within your current form.
This feat does not permit the effects of magical items while in a form that ordinarily could not use them, and you do not gain the ability to speak while in a wild shape.
Nature’s Champion [General]You devotion to Ayna has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Ayna.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Animal and Plant domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.

A character with two or more spellcasting classes (such as a bard/sorcerer or a ranger/druid) must choose which class gains the feat’s effect.

Prerequisites: Sneak attack, caster level 5th.
Benefit: To activate this feat, you must sacrifice one of your daily allotments of spells (minimum spell level 1st). Doing this is a swift action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity.
In exchange, you gain an insight bonus on your melee attack rolls and damage rolls for 1 round. The bonus on attack rolls equals the level of the spell sacrificed. The bonus on damage rolls is 1d6 points per level of the spell sacrificed, plus any extra damage based on your sneak attack ability.
These bonuses apply against only one type of creature, depending on the type of spell sacrificed. If you sacrifice an arcane spell, they apply to constructs. If you sacrificed a divine spell, the bonuses apply against undead.
This feat does not allow you to deliver critical hits against constructs or undead.

Benefit: You gain a +2 insight bonus on Listen, Search, Sense Motive, and Spot checks.
In addition, you can call upon your god once per day for limited information about the future in general, though this usage of the feat temporarily depletes your capacity for divine insight.
This effect is similar to that of an augury spell, except that there is no material component and you can only see about 10 minutes into the future. The usage of this feat is a spell-like ability requiring a full-round action. Using this ability negates the insight bonus provided by this feat for the remainder of the day.
Shadowform Familiar [General]Your familiar is composed entirely of shadows.
Prerequisite: Ability to summon a familiar.
Benefit: Your summoned familiar looks like a dark, shadowy version of a normal familiar. It is insubstantial and gains the incorporeal subtype.

Benefit: After dealing a creature enough damage to drop it to negative hit points, you can slice or pry off a trophy as a free action. You must be adjacent to the dead or dying creature to use this ability.
Carving off a trophy (such as an ear or a finger) in this manner requires a light slashing or piercing weapon and deals 1d4 damage to the target creature.
Alternatively, you can take a small item worn or carried by your fallen foe, such as a piece of jewelry, pouch, potion, light weapon, or helmet, in which case the target takes no damage.
Regardless, the snatched item can weigh no more than 2 pounds. You must have a free hand in order to collect the trophy.

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.

Soft Step [General]You are able to tread so lightly that you avoid an opponent’s tremorsense ability.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Move Silently 5 ranks.
Benefit: While using this feat, you are unable to be detected by an opponent’s tremorsense ability. Your base speed in one-half normal while using this feat. Additionally, any skill checks that require extreme movement (Escape Artist, Tumble, etc) have their DC increased by 10 while using this feat. Making any sort of melee attack immediately negates the benefits of this feat. Once you have revealed yourself to a creature, you must leave the area of its tremorsense before you are able to use this feat again.
Song of the Heart [General]Your bardic music reaches the depths of its listeners’ hearts.
Prerequisites: Bardic music, inspire competence ability, Perform 6 ranks.

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.
Using this ability counts as one of your daily uses of bardic music. This feat does not function in an area of magical silence.
Soul of the North [General]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 – endure elements, ray of frost, resistance.

Prerequisite: Spell Hawk.
Benefit: After successfully countering a spell cast by an opponent, you may instead choose to allow the spell to be completed as normal, but with a new target of your choice. The spell’s new target must be a legal target for your opponent, and this feat only affects spells that require you to choose a target at the time of the spell’s completion. Spells with a range of “you” or “touch” are also unaffected by this feat.
Spell Focus [General]Choose a school of magic, such as illusion. Your spells of that school are more potent than normal.
Benefit: Add +1 to the DC for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic that you select.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time, it applies to a new school of magic.
Spell Focus (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) [General]Your spells with an alignment descriptor are more potent than normal.
Prerequisite: Relevant alignment.
Benefit: Choose an alignment descriptor (chaos, evil, good, or law) that matches your own alignment. Add +1 to the DC for all saving throws against any of your spells with this alignment descriptor. This bonus does not stack with any other bonus from the Spell Focus feats.

Special: This feat can be taken twice, choosing a different alignment descriptor each time.

Benefit: The DC on saves to disbelieve your illusion spells mimicking spells of your chosen school increases by +2.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time, it applies to a new school of magic indicated by your Spell Focus feat.
Spell Penetration [General]Your spells are especially potent, breaking through spell resistance more readily than normal.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on caster level checks made to overcome a creature’s spell resistance.
Spell Scanner [General]When attempting to counterspell an enemy’s casting, you may choose to determine what spells they have prepared for the day rather than destroy the incantation they are about to complete.
Prerequisite: Spell Hawk.
Benefit: If you successfully counter an enemy’s spell, you may elect to allow them to complete the spell as normal. Instead, you analyze the energies present at the moment they lower their mental guard, gaining an intuitive sense of the spells your opponent has prepared for the day.
Spellcasters who do not prepare spells, such as bards and sorcerers, gather their energy from wildly differing sources and are thus immune to this ability.
Spell Spike [General]Your skill at destroying or modifying spells cast by others allows you to twist a spell so that it turns back upon its caster as they complete it, ruining their prepared spells.
Prerequisites: Spell Deflection, Spell Hawk, Spell Scanner.
Benefit: After countering an opponent’s spell, you may allow the spell to function as normal, instead using your counterspell to wreck havoc on your foe’s mind. You gain an immediate insight into your opponent’s prepared spells, as per the Spell Scanner feat.
You may then force your opponent to lose a prepared spell of your choice by making a caster level check with a DC equal to your opponent’s caster level plus the level of the spell you wish to ruin. If you succeed, your opponent immediately loses that incantation from his list of prepared spells.
Spirit Sense [General]You can see and communicate with the souls of the recently departed.

In addition, you gain a +4 bonus on Listen or Spot checks made to detect incorporeal creatures.
Spiteful Spellcasting [General]Your anger causes your spells to become more difficult to resist.
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (any).
Benefit: When an opponent interrupts a spell you are casting, and you lose the spell, that opponent suffers a -2 penalty on saving throws made to resist spells you cast. This penalty increases by -2 each time the opponent interrupts a spell you cast. This bonus lasts until the end of the current encounter.
You may apply this penalty upon only one opponent at a time; if another opponent interrupts a spell you cast, you may choose to either continue focusing upon the original opponent, or to focus your attentions upon the new opponent.
Split Concentration [General]You can concentrate on multiple spells at once.
Prerequisite: Concentration 8 ranks.
Benefit: You gain the ability to concentrate on more than one spell at a time and to cast other spells while maintaining your concentration on those spells that need it.

If you fail one of these concentration checks, you lose all the spells you were casting or concentrating upon.Normal: It takes a standard action to maintain concentration on a single spell.

Prerequisites: Wis 13, Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks, nongood alignment, ability to cast any inflict wounds spell.
Benefit: You can use your spellcasting ability to spontaneously cast inflict spells (from your class spell list) just as a cleric can. You may use this ability a total number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Staggering Strike [General]You can deliver a wound that hampers an opponents’s movement.
Prerequisites: Sneak attack, base attack bonus +6.
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 at least 1 point of magical healing, your target is treated as if it were staggered. The target may resist this effect with a successful Fortitude save (DC equal to the damage dealt).
This ability has no effect on creatures immune to critical hits.
Steady Concentration [General] You are an expert at avoiding distractions and focusing your mind, and you can concentrate clearly even in the most stressful conditions.Prerequisite: Concentration 8 ranks.
Benefit: You can always take 10 on Concentration checks, even when conditions would normally not allow you to do so.
Stitched Flesh Familiar [General]When you are ready and able to acquire a new familiar, you may choose to gain a stitched flesh familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to acquire a new familiar, ability to cast three or more necromancy spells.
Benefit: When choosing a familiar, you may choose a stitched flesh familiar. 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 is clearly an undead creature.
A stitched flesh familiar is magically linked to its master in the same manner as a normal familiar. It uses the base statistics for a normal creature of its kind, except as noted below.
Type: Stitched flesh familiars are Undead.
Hit Dice: A stitched flesh familiar has a d12 Hit Dice. 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 one-half 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, whichever is higher.
Ability Scores: As an undead creature, the stitched flesh familiar lacks a Constitution score.
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 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).
Subsonics [General]Your music can affect even those who do not consciously hear it.
Prerequisites: Bardic music, Perform 10 ranks.
Benefit: You can play so softly that opponents do not notice it, yet your allies still gain the benefits of your bardic music. Similarly, you can affect opponents within range with your music, and unless they can see you performing it or have some other means of discovering it, they cannot determine the source of the effect.
Supernatural Blow [General]Choose one favored enemy that is immune to critical hits. You know how to place blows against this enemy to best effect.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +7, favored enemy that is immune to critical hits.
Benefit: Whenever your attack roll against this favored enemy would otherwise be a critical hit, you inflict +1d6 points of extra damage per damage die that your weapon would do on a critical hit.
In addition, your favored enemy damage bonus applies to this creature type normally.
Normal: Creatures that are immune to critical hits are also immune to the favored enemy damage bonus.
Supernatural Transformation [General]You convert a spell-like ability to a supernatural one.
Prerequisite: Innate spell-like ability.
Benefit: One of your innate spell-like abilities becomes a supernatural ability. It is no longer subject to spell resistance, though it can be suppressed in an antimagic field. Using this ability does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The number of uses, if limited, does not change. The effective caster level equals your total Hit Dice or the effective caster level of the original ability, whichever is higher.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time, it applies to a new spell-like ability.
Tactile Trapsmith [General]You can rely upon your rapid reflexes and nimble fingers instead of your intellect when searching a room or when disabling a trap.
Benefit: You add your Dexterity bonus (rather than your Intelligence bonus) on all Search and Disable Device checks.
In addition, you receive no penalty on these checks for darkness or blindness.
Tenacity’s Champion [General]You devotion to Nyrgund has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Nyrgund.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Armor and Endurance domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.
Thief’s Curse [General]Your curses are particularly effective against thieves.
Prerequisite: Hexblade’s curse.
Benefit: When an opponent with the sneak attack ability fails a saving throw against your hexblade’s curse, the curse has its normal effect, and reduces the opponent’s sneak attack damage as well.
The opponent’s sneak attack dice are reduced to d4s for the duration of the curse. If you have the greater hexblade’s curse ability, the sneak attack dive are reduced to d2s. If you possess the dire hexblade’s curse ability, the opponent’s additional damage from sneak attack is negated altogether.
Token Familiar [General]Your familiar can assume an innocuous, inanimate form.
Benefit: Your familiar can, upon command, assume a small, inanimate form. The form can be any Diminutive, stone, hand-held object, typically a statuette of the familiar.
In this form, the familiar does not require food or care, and it is easy for you to hide, but its powers are unavailable to you. The familiar still has a mind, but it cannot use any of its senses, special attacks, or special qualities. If its inanimate form is broken or destroyed, it is slain. The familiar can return to its normal form upon command.
Transforming to or from statuette form is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
Touch of Benevolence [General]Despite your evil alignment, you are prone to moments of benevolence and mercy.
Prerequisite: Any evil alignment.
Benefit: Although you are evil, you have a 50% chance of ignoring any effect that specifically targets or damages evil creatures.
Special: For this feat to function, you must demonstrate periodic acts of kindness and mercy.
Touch of Corruption [General]Because you are favored by Kalosh, you can transform animals into evil minions.
Prerequisites: God Touched, patron deity (Kalosh).
Benefit: Once per week, you can touch a creature and transform it into a corrupted mockery of itself. The animal can have no more Hit Dice prior to transformation than you have cleric levels.
The target creature can resist the transformation by making a successful Will saving throw (DC 10 + half your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). If the animal is the bonded companion of another character, it can use that character’s base Will save bonus instead of its own, applying its own ability modifiers.
If it fails its save, the creature gains the “Fiendish” template, except that its smite good ability deals vile damage, rather than normal damage. The corrupted creature follows your commands to the best of its ability.
Touch Spell Specialization [General]You deal more damage with touch attack spells.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (touch spell), spellcaster level 4th.
Benefit: Your damage-dealing spells that require a ranged touch attack deal +2 damage.
Tower Shield Proficiency [General]You are proficient with tower shields.
Benefit: You can use a tower 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 one all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride checks.
Track [General]You can follow the trail of creatures and characters across most types of terrain.
Prerequisite: Con 13.
Benefit: To find tracks or to follow them for one mile requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow, such as when other tracks cross them or when the tracks backtrack and diverge.
You move at half your normal speed (or at your normal speed with a -5 penalty on the check, or at up to twice your normal speed with a -20 on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions, as given on the table below:
Surface Survival DC Very soft ground 5 Soft ground 10 Firm ground 15 Hard ground 20
Very soft ground: Any surface (fresh snow, thick dust, wet mud) that holds deep, clear impressions of footprints.Soft ground: Any surface soft enough to yield to pressure, but firmer than wet mud or fresh snow, in which a creature leaves frequent or shallow footprints.
Firm ground: Most normal outdoor surfaces (such as lawns, fields, woods, and the like) or exceptionally soft or dirty indoor surfaces (thick rugs or very dirty or dusty floors). The creature might leave some traces (broken branches or tufts of hair), but it leaves only occasional or partial footprints.
Hard ground: Any surface that doesn’t hold footprints at all, such as bare rock or an indoor floor. Most streambeds fall into this category, since any footprints left behind are obscured or washed away. The creature leaves only traces (scuff marks or displaced pebbles).
Several modifiers apply to the Survival check, as given in the tables below:
Condition DC Modifier Every three creatures in tracked group -1 Every 24 hours since trail was made +1 Every hour of rain since trail was made +1 Tracked party hides trail (and moves at half speed) +5
Size of creatures being tracked: (apply only the largest modifier) Fine +8 Diminutive +4 Tiny +2 Small +1 Medium +0 Large -1 Huge -2 Gargantuan -4 Colossal -8
Poor visibility: (Apply only the largest modifier) Overcast or moonless night +6 Moonlight +3 Fog or precipitation +3
If you fail a Survival check, you can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.Normal: Without this feat, you can use the Survival skill to find tracks, but you can follow them only if the DC for the task is 10 or lower.
Alternatively, you can use the Search skill to find a footprint or similar sign of a creature’s passage, but you cannot use Search to follow tracks.
Tunnelrunner [General]You can move naturally in the cramped quarters of caves and tunnels.
Benefit: You ignore the speed reduction for hampered movement when moving in a narrow space (an area smaller than but at least one-half your space) or a low space (an area shorter than but at least one-half your height). You also retain your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class in such spaces. In a space both narrow and low, you function as if only one of those conditions applied.
Tyranny’s Champion [General]You devotion to Gaspar has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Gaspar.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Fear and Tyranny domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.
Undead Familiar [General]Your familiar is an undead creature.
Benefit: Rather than a living creature, your familiar is an undead version of a regular animal. See the Monster Manual for undead traits. Note that you cannot convert an existing familiar to an undead familiar by taking this feat, although if your familiar is slain, you can reanimate your familiar with an animate dead spell.
Undead familiars can be turned or rebuked. Use the familiar’s effective Hit Dice for the purposes of turning or rebuking. A familiar fleeing or cowering as the result of a successful turn cannot obey commands from its master.
Undead Legion [General]You can control more undead than normal.
Prerequisites: Cha 13, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks.
Benefit: You can create and control an additional 4 HD of undead creatures when casting the spell animate dead. If you are a cleric attempting to command undead by virtue of a turning check, you can control an additional 2 HD of undead.
If you are a cleric attempting to command undead by virtue of a turning check, you can also control an additional 2 HD of undead. You may control a single undead creature with 2 HD more than your cleric level, but doing so requires your constant concentration, or the undead creature breaks free from your control.
Underfoot Combat [General]You can enter the space that a foe at least two size categories bigger than you occupies.
Prerequisite: Tumble 10 ranks.
Benefit: You can move into or through a square occupied by a creature at least two size categories larger than you. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity for doing so.
While you are in a square occupied by a creature at least two size categories larger than you, you gain the benefit of soft cover (+4 bonus to AC) against all attacks, including those of the creature whose space you occupy.
Vengeance’s Champion [General]You devotion to Corbin has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Corbin.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Incarceration and Retribution domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.
Vermin Control [General]You can channel the power of nature to gain mastery over vermin creatures.
Prerequisites: Vermin Defiance.
Benefit: You can rebuke or command vermin as an evil cleric rebukes or commands undead. To command a vermin, you must be able to issue it verbal commands, or make your intentions known to it in some other way.
The number of times per day that you can use this ability is equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Your highest divine caster level is the level at which you rebuke vermin (minimum one).
Vermin Defiance [General]You can channel the power of nature to drive off vermin creatures.
Prerequisite: Ability to cast detect animals or plants.
Benefit: You can turn (but not destroy) vermin as a good cleric turns undead. The number of times per day that you can use this ability is equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Your highest divine caster level is the level at which you turn vermin (minimum one).
Versatile Performer [General]You are skilled at many different types of performances.
Prerequisite: Perform (any) 5 ranks.
Benefit: Pick a number of Perform categories equal to your Intelligence bonus (minimum 1). For the purpose of making Perform checks, you area treated as having a number of ranks in those skills equal to the highest number of ranks you have in any Perform category.
You cannot change these categories once you have picked them, but your score in them automatically increases if you later add additional ranks in your highest-ranked Perform category. You gain new categories of your choice if your Intelligence bonus permanently increases.
In addition, you gain a +2 bonus on a combined Perform check when using two or more forms of performance at the same time, such as simultaneous singing and dancing. In such cases, add the bonus to the higher of your two Perform skill modifiers.
Via Negativa [General]You can channel greater amounts of negative energy into your inflict spells.
Prerequisite: Ability to rebuke undead.
Benefit: As a free action, you can spend one of your rebuke undead attempts to deal additional harm with an inflict spell. You must spend the rebuke attempt before making the attack roll. If the attack roll succeeds, the inflict spell deals an extra 1 point of damage per character level (maximum +20). If the attack roll fails, the rebuke attempt is spent and wasted.
Violate Innate Ability [General]One of your spell-like or psi-like abilities is powered by evil.
Prerequisite: Any evil alignment.
Benefit: Choose one of your spell-like or psi-like abilities. This ability gains the “Evil” descriptor, and half of any damage it deals is vile damage of the same type.
This spell-like ability can be violated three times per day, though this feat does not allow you to exceed your normal usage limit for any ability.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, you may apply it to a different spell-like ability.
Virtuoso Talent [General]You are a skilled performer.
Prerequisites: Perform 8 ranks, Skill Focus (Perform (any)).
Benefit: You gain a +5 bonus on Perform checks made with your chosen instrument. Any bardic music effects you use in conjunction with your instrument behave as if they were one level higher, and add +2 to the DC of any saving throws they require.
Wand Mastery [General]Wands are far more potent in your hands.
Prerequisite: Craft Wand.
Benefit: When you use a wand, the DC of any saving throws against the wand’s effect is increased by 2 and the wand’s effective caster level is increased by 2.
Wandstrike [General]Wands are far more potent in your hands.
Prerequisite: Use Magic Device 4 ranks.
Benefit: As a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack with a wand, expending 1 charge to deal 1d6 damage. You apply no extra damage to this attack regardless of its source, but you may activate the wand as part of the attack.
If the spell cast from the wand is a ray or targeted spell, the creature struck by the wand is the spell’s target. If the spell affects an area or creates a spread, the spell takes effect as if centered on the struck creature. Spells that do not affect a target or cover an area (such as a summon monster spell) cannot be used in conjunction with this feat.
Winter’s Champion [General]You devotion to Quendelain has been rewarded with access to otherwise restricted spells.
Prerequisites: Crusader level 1st, patron deity Quendelain.
Benefit: You add the 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-level spells granted by the Cold and Winter domains to your crusader spell list. You cast these spells as if they were crusader spells of the appropriate level.
