;Soul Forge:Requires: Iron Will or ancestral daisho class ability, masterwork weapon.
:Benefit: Select one type of weapon, of which you have a masterwork version.  You may bond with that item in the same fashion as the samurai’s ancestral daisho class ability, and may enhance it through the expenditure of valuable items and meditation in the same way.  This feat otherwise follows all the rules for the ancestral daisho class ability, and you are considered to have the ancestral daisho class ability for the purposes of meeting prerequisites if you did not already do so.
:You may only have one enhanced weapon at a time, not counting any weapons enhanced through the actual ancestral daisho class ability.

;Void Use:Benefit: You may have and spend Void Points, and your Void Point maximum is set to 2.  Before making an attack roll, saving throw or skill check you may spend a Void Point to gain a +2 Void bonus to the roll.  As a free action on your turn, you may spend a Void Point to gain a +2 Void bonus to AC until the beginning of your next turn.  You may not spend more than one Void Point in these fashions.  Void bonuses always stack.  A frightened or panicked character may not spend Void Points.  A full night's rest returns your Void Points to maximum, as does an hour's meditation and a Concentration check (DC 15).  Unless otherwise specified, any use of Void Points is an extraordinary ability.
:Special: You may take this feat in lieu of an Ancestor Feat if using the optional Ancestor Feat rules from '''Oriental Adventures'''.
