Arcane Breadth [General] Prerequisite: Wis 13+ An arcane spellcaster who casts spontaneously can acquire bonus spells-known. One spell, no higher than Level 3, can be chosen as a bonus spell known. The caster must be able to cast spells of a particular level in order to acquire bonus spells of that level. This feat can be taken more than once, but each time it applies to a different spellcasting class. Distraction [General] Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Cha 13+ The character is an expert at diverting attention from herself. Benefit: The character gains a +4 to all Bluff checks when using the check to create the momentary diversion the character needs to attempt a Hide check while people are aware of the character. Greater Arcane Breadth [General] Prerequisite: Wis 15+, Arcane Breadth An arcane spellcaster who casts spontaneously can acquire bonus spells-known. One spell, no higher than Level 6, can be chosen as a bonus spell known. The caster must be able to cast spells of a particular level in order to acquire bonus spells of that level. This feat can be taken more than once, but each time it applies to a different spellcasting class. Hang Spell [Metamagic] The character can cast a spell that has already been prepared and "hang" the spell almost indefinitely for later use as a free action. The character can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as the character releases a hung spell. The character may only cast one hung spell per round as a free action, and only one spell can be hung at a time. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round cannot be hung. If a hung spell is not released within 8 hours of casting it dissipates and is lost. A hung spell uses up a spell slot five levels higher than the spell's actual level. Improved Feint [General] Prerequisites: Dex 13+, Cha 13+, Base Attack Bonus +1 Benefit: The character gains a +4 to all Bluff checks when using the skill to feint in combat. Improved Strawman [General] Prerequisite: Strawman, Base Attack Bonus +3 Benefit: As with Strawman except that the defender receives a +4 dodge bonus to his armour class against the ranged attacker. Improved Subdue [General] Prerequisite: Weapon Focus in the weapon, limited to blugeoning or slashing weapons The character is an expert at delivering subdual damage with normal weapons. Useful for law enforcement, pacifists, or in jurisdictions where combat is common but lethal combat has strict penalties. Benefit: With the use of this feat, a character can inflict subdual damage with the chosen weapon at no penalty. Normal: Inflicting subdual damage with a weapon incurs a -4 to hit penalty. Special: The character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time the character takes the feat, it applies to a new weapon. Offhand Defence [General] Prerequisites: Ambidexterity, Two-Weapon Fighting, Expertise, Base Attack Bonus +2 Benefit: When the character uses the attack action or full attack action in melee, the character can take a penalty of as much as -6 on the character's base attack bonus for offhand attacks and add half of that number (rounded down, up to a maximum +3) to the character's Armour Class. The penalty may not reduce the character's base attack bonus below zero. If the character has multiple offhand attacks, the penalty is applied to all of these attacks equally. The changes to attack rolls and Armour Class last until the character's next action. The bonus to the character's Armour Class is a deflection bonus. Singularity of Focus [General] Prerequisites: Wis 13+, Base Attack Bonus +1 Benefit: The character gains a +4 to all Sense Motive checks when using the skill to resist the misdirection of a feint in combat. Strawman [General] Prerequisite: Dex 15+., Base Attack Bonus +1 The character can lure opponents with ranged weapons into firing dangerously close to their allies. Benefit: If the character is engaged in melee and being attacked with ranged weapons the character can designate one melee attacker and one ranged attacker. If the ranged attack misses it has a chance of hitting the attacker engaged in melee. Use the initial attack roll against the character as the attack roll. If the attack roll falls within a range low enough to miss the character but high enough to strike the melee attacker, the melee attacker is struck. Normal: Without this feat, a ranged attack only has a chance of hitting the wrong target if the melee attacker is providing cover for the character. |
