Editing Norrathians: Feats

Many changes were made to feats in the transition from d20 3 to 3.5.  In converting EQrpg to 3.5 rules, many of the feats in the EQrpg PHB need to be altered in some way.  Below is the master list of the feats now part of this game.  Most feats from d20 3.5 are used in EQrpg without any conflict.  The feats that grant a +2 bonus to two separate but related skill checks are replaced with the single #Talented feat.  

Some of the feats listed below link to the description on this page, and are preceded by a pound sign (#).  The feats described on this page are all either reprinted from the EQrpg PHB or are new to this setting.  Feats without links are described in the [http://geocities.com/sovelior/srd/featsAll.html d20 SRD].

=Feat Descriptions=

====Arcane Affinity==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:'''  Int 13

:'''Benefit:'''  Choose any three 1st level spells (excluding pet summoning spells) from the spell lists of the arcane spellcasting classes (enchanter, hexblade, magician, necromancer, shadow knight, and wizard).  Of these spells, you may cast any two per hour as a spell-like ability.  If you are not already able to cast these spells, your caster level is 1.

====Archer’s Bane==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dodge, Dex 13

:'''Benefit:  '''You gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC against all ranged weapons for each range increment the weapon must be shot or thrown to reach you.  This dodge bonus is doubled if you are fighting defensively or executing the total defense standard action.

====Armored Stealth==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dex 13, Sneak 4 ranks

:'''Benefit:  '''Whenever you are wearing light armor that you have personally prepared, you do not apply its armor check penalty (if any) to Sneak checks.  To prepare light armor for stealth requires one hour and materials worth 5 pp initially, then ten minutes per day in maintenance time.

====Attractive==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Cha 13

:'''Benefit:  '''You are very attractive.  You gain a +3 bonus to Bluff and Diplomacy checks when being attractive would be a benefit.

:'''Special:  '''This feat can be gained multiple times.  The effects stack.

====Bash==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Shield Proficiency

:'''Benefit:  '''When you perform a shield bash, you may still apply the shield’s shield bonus to your AC.  Also, if you do not have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, then your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with both a weapon and a shield are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your shield attack lessens by 6.  This does not stack with the benefits of the Two-Weapon Fighting feat.

:If you use the bash attack as an attack of opportunity to interrupt a spellcaster, the caster’s Channeling check against damage taken from a successful bash attack suffers a +2 penalty to its DC.

:'''Normal:  '''Without the Bash feat, a shield may be used as an off-hand weapon as per the rules for two-weapon fighting, though you lose the shield’s shield bonus to AC until your next turn.  When fighting this way you suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your shield’s attack. If you are using a light shield, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. 

:'''Special:  '''A shield with a magic enhancement bonus is treated as a magic weapon with the same bonus for determining what forms of damage reduction it can overcome; however, the enhancement bonus of the shield is not added to the attack or damage rolls of the bash attack.  Magic shields with no enhancement bonus are treated as having a +1 enhancement for this purpose.

====Beastmaster==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Handle animal 8 ranks, Knowledge (monster lore [natural]) 8 ranks

:'''Benefit: ''' When dealing with beasts and magical beasts, you gain a +4 bonus to Wild Empathy and Handle Animal checks.

====Brutish==== (General)

:'''Benefit: ''' You may use your Strength rather than Charisma modifier for the Intimidate skill.  An ogre or troll character may add both his Charisma and Strength modifiers together for the purpose of Intimidate checks if he wishes.

====Caster’s Bane==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Base Attack Bonus +14, or the ability to cast 7th level spells

:'''Benefit:  '''When dealing damage to a spellcaster, their Channeling DC (if any) is +5.

====Cleaving Charge==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 15, Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Base Attack Bonus +6

:'''Benefit:  '''When performing a Great Cleave, you may move one 5-foot step before each extra attack.  You may not exceed half your base movement during this action.

====Combat Tactician==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Int 13, Leadership, Base Attack Bonus +6

:'''Benefit:  '''As a free action during combat you can direct the actions of your allies, giving them a circumstance bonus of +1 to all rolls for a number of rounds equal to 1d4 + your Charisma bonus.  You may use this ability once per day for every five levels you have attained.  This ability is language-dependant and mind-affecting.

====Crushing Grip==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 17, Improved Grapple, Base Attack Bonus +10

:'''Benefit:  '''If you manage to grapple an opponent and inflict damage on him, you may choose to inflict some or all of the rolled damage as damage to either his Constitution, Dexterity, or Strength, at your choice.  He gets a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + your Strength bonus + ½ your Base Attack Bonus) for half damage.  Crushing Grip may be continued from round to round, so long as you are grappling your opponent and inflicting damage upon them.

====Defensive Martial Arts==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dodge, bard 8, beastlord 5, hexblade 7, monk 2, ranger 7, rogue 6, paladin 8, shadow knight 8, or warrior 6

:'''Benefit:  '''Your bonus to AC when using the total defense action increases to +6.  Furthermore, you gain a +2 bonus to opposed Strength and Dexterity checks any time you make trip, overrun, or grapple checks or avoid these attacks.

:'''Normal:  '''A character using the total defense action without this feat gains a +4 dodge bonus to AC.

====Divine Affinity==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Wis 13

:'''Benefit:  '''Choose any three 1st level spells (excluding pet summoning spells) from the spell lists of the divine spellcasting classes (beastlord, cleric, druid, paladin, ranger, and shaman).  Of these spells, you may cast any two per hour with no need to spend mana.  If you are not already able to cast these spells, your caster level is 1.

====Double Attack==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Hexblade 12+, monk 9+, paladin 12+, ranger 12+, rogue 11+, shadow knight 12+, or warrior 9+.

:'''Benefit:  '''You may figure your weapon’s delay as if it were 1 point lower.  Thus a character with a +9 base attack bonus using a standard delay weapon (having a delay of 5, normally granting him two attacks at +9/+4) figures his attacks as if it were quick delay (4), granting him three attacks at +9/+5/+1.

:'''Special:  '''Monks gain this feat as a bonus feat at 9th level.

====Dual Wield==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Bard 11+, beastlord 8+, monk 1+, ranger 11+, rogue 8+, or warrior 7+

:'''Benefit:  '''When taking an attack or full attack action, you gain one additional attack with your off-hand weapon at your full attack bonus, but with a flat -5 penalty.  This attack is made instead of a normal off-hand attack, and is the unique circumstance under which a character may make more than one attack using only an attack action.

:'''Special:  '''Monks receive this feat as a bonus feat at 1st level.  Beastlords receive this feat as a bonus feat at 8th level.  A character who possesses both the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting and Dual Wield feats may make two attacks with his off-hand weapon at –5 and –10, respectively.  The Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat adds a third off-hand attack at –15.

====Endurance Swimmer==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Swim 10 ranks, Con 15

:'''Benefit:  '''While underwater (whether drowning or swimming), you suffer a cumulative -1 penalty to your Swim check for each consecutive minute you have been underwater.

:'''Normal:  '''This penalty normally is applied for every consecutive round spent underwater.

====Enlarge Spell==== (Metamagic)

:'''Benefit:  '''An enlarged spell has its range doubled.  Spells whose ranges are not defined by distance are not altered.  A spell whose area or effect is determined by its range (such as project lightning) has the dimensions of its area or effect increased proportionally.  An enlarged spell uses 50% more mana than the spell normally costs, so an enlarged casting of a spell that normally costs 50 mana will cost 75 mana.
Special:  A spellcaster must decide whether he will enhance a spell with a metamagic feat when he prepares the spell, not when he casts it.

====Extend Spell==== (Metamagic)

:'''Benefit:  '''An extended spell lasts half again as long as normal (i.e., 150% total duration).  Spells with a duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent are not affected by this feat.  An extended spell uses 50% more mana than the spell normally costs, so an enlarged casting of a spell that normally costs 50 mana will cost 75 mana.

:'''Special:  '''A spellcaster must decide whether he will enhance a spell with a metamagic feat when he prepares the spell, not when he casts it.

====Extended Berserking==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Berserking class ability

:'''Benefit:  '''Your berserk fury lasts twice as long as normal, or 4 rounds after your current hit points once again exceed one quarter of your hit point total (whichever occurs first).

:'''Normal:  '''A berserk fury normally lasts a number of rounds equal to your warrior level + Con modifier, or until your current hit points once again exceed one quarter of your hit point total (whichever occurs first).


====Fearsome==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Cha 13, Intimidate 9 ranks, Base Attack Bonus +5

:'''Benefit:  '''While armed, opponents must make a Will save (DC 10 + your Cha bonus) before making an attack of opportunity against you.

====Feint Mastery==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Int 13, Cha 15, Bluff 20 ranks, Combat Expertise, Improved Feint, Uncanny Feint, character level 20

:'''Benefit:  '''When making a feint attempt in combat you may take 10 on every attempt

====Finishing Blow==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Character level 21+

:'''Benefit:  '''Any melee attack by the character that successfully reduces a target’s current hit points to 25% of its normal total or less has a chance of felling the target instantly.  If the 25% current hit point condition is met, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ the attacking character’s level) or be reduced instantly to –1 hit points (or be destroyed if it is a creature that is normally destroyed at 0 hit points or below).  A finishing blow attack against an opponent with more than 25% of its hit points simply has no effect (other than to do its normal damage).

:'''Special:  '''Shadow knights receive this feat as a bonus feat at 4th level, regardless of the feat’s usual level requirement.

====Fleet of Foot==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dex 13, Run

:'''Benefit:  '''When running or charging, you may make a single direction change of up to 90 degrees.  You may only use this feat while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no more than a light load.

:'''Normal:  '''Charging must be done in a straight line.

====Frightening Countenance==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Cha 13+, Ability to cast a spell with the [Fear] descriptor

:'''Benefit:  '''Add +4 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells with the [Fear] descriptor.  Also, the duration of these spells is increased by 1 round.

:'''Normal:  '''The DC to resist Mind-Affecting spells is (10 + spell level + the caster’s Cha bonus)

====Greater Critical==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Improved Critical, Base Attack Bonus +16

:'''Benefit:  '''When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is tripled.  This supersedes the doubling provided by the Improved Critical feat.

:'''Special:  '''This feat can be gained multiple times.  The effects do not stack.  Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new weapon.

====Greater Sunder==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Improved Sunder, Base Attack Bonus +6

:'''Benefit:  '''If you completely destroy an opponent’s weapon in melee combat, you immediately get a melee attack against that opponent. 

====Hair Trigger==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Berserking class ability

:'''Benefit:  '''You enter a berserk fury when reduced to less than one half of your maximum current hit points.  The duration of your berserk fury is likewise adjusted.

:'''Normal:  '''You enter a berserk fury when reduced to less than one quarter of your maximum current hit points.


====Healing Adept==== (Metamagic)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Caster level 21+

:'''Benefit:  '''Whenever you cast a spell that heals hit points, the number of hit points restored by the spell is increased by 25%.

:'''Special:  '''The prerequisite for this feat refers to caster level, no class level, so hybrid character classes must be 25th level or higher to receive this feat.

====Heighten Spell==== (Metamagic)

:'''Benefit:  '''A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal (up to 15th level).  Unlike other metamagic feats, Heighten Spell actually increases the effective level of the spell that it modifies.  All effects dependent on spell level (such as saving throw DCs) are calculated according to the heightened level.  Note that the feat has no effect on spell variables like range that are caster level dependent – it only affects those that are spell level dependent.  The heightened spell costs 100% more mana to cast for every additional spell level, so heightening a spell that normally costs 50 mana by two levels will cost 150 mana.

====Heroic Surge==== (General)

:'''Benefit:  '''You can take an extra partial action (move or attack) either before or after your regular actions.  You can do this once per day for every 4 levels, but never more than once a round.

====Improved Bash==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 13+, Bash, base attack bonus +6 or higher

:'''Benefit:  '''When making a bash attack with a shield, you add your full strength bonus to the attack, and gain a +2 circumstance bonus to damage.

If the shield bash attack does 8 or more points of damage, it also forces the target to make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your Str modifier).  If the target fails his saving throw, he is dazed for 1 round (until just before his next action).  A dazed character can take no actions but can defend himself normally.  Spellcasters dazed in the middle of casting a spell automatically fail to cast.  Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be dazed by a shield bash.

====Improved Dodge==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dex 13+, Dodge, base attack bonus +6 or higher

:'''Benefit:  '''During your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent, or you may designate two opponents and receive a +1 AC bonus against each of them.  You can select a new opponent on any action.  Because dodge bonuses stack, you may also apply the bonus gained from the Dodge feat independently of the above bonuses.  A condition that causes you to lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) also makes you lose all dodge bonuses.

:'''Special:  '''Dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.

====Improved Parry==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Int 13, Parry, Base Attack Bonus +10

:'''Benefit:  '''When you use the attack action or full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as –10 on your base attack bonus and add the same number (up to +10) to your Armor Class.  In any case, this number may not exceed your base attack bonus.  The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action.  The bonus to Armor Class gained through this feat is a dodge bonus.

====Improved Flanking==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Base Attack Bonus +4

:'''Benefit:  '''When flanking an opponent you gain an additional +2 attack bonus versus that opponent.

:'''Special:  '''When flanking an opponent, creatures gain a +2 attack bonus versus that opponent.

====Improved Hand to Hand==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Hand to Hand

:'''Benefit:  '''Your base unarmed damage increases by one die increment.

:'''Special:  '''Beastlords receive this feat as a bonus feat at 3rd level, as do monks at 2nd level.

====Improved Healing==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Character level 11+

:'''Benefit:  '''Treat your character as 5 levels higher when determining how many hit points you recover through natural healing,  

:'''Special:  '''A character with fast healing recovers hit points on a per-hour basis rather than per-day. 

====Improved Resistance==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Character level 21+, Resistance (for the same attack type)

:'''Benefit:  '''You may select any resistance type for which you have already purchased the Resistance feat and your resistance to that type becomes a bonus of (8).  Your saving throw bonus to that type of attack also increases to +4.

:'''Special:  '''You can gain this feat multiple times.  The effects do not stack.  Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new resistance type (for which you must already have the Resistance feat).

====Improved Slam==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 13+, Slam feat, base attack bonus +6

:'''Benefit:  '''Your slam damage is increased by one dice increment, and there is a chance the slam attack may stun its target.

If the slam does 8 or more points of damage, it forces the target to make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your Str modifier).  If the target fails his saving throw, he is dazed for 1 round (until just before his next action).  A dazed character can take no actions but can defend himself normally.  Spellcasters dazed in the middle of casting a spell automatically fail to cast.  Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be dazed by a slam attack.

:'''Special:  '''The benefits of this feat do not stack with those from the Hand to Hand or Improved Hand to Hand feats.  Creatures with natural slam attacks can take this feat.

====Indomitable Will==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Base Will save +6, Iron Will

:'''Benefit:  '''You gain an inherent resistance to spells that affect the mind, giving you a +5 bonus versus fear and spells with the [Mind-Affecting] or [Fear] descriptor.

====Instant Stand==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Dex 13

:'''Benefit:  '''You can move from a prone to a standing position as a free action instead of as a move action.

====Intensified Rage==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Berserking class ability

:'''Benefit:  '''Instead of the normal bonuses, when in a berserk fury you gain a +2 bonus on all melee attack and damage rolls, +4 Strength, a +3 dodge bonus to AC, and a critical threat range increased by 1.

:'''Normal:  '''When in a berserk fury you gain a +2 bonus on all melee attack and damage rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC.

====Intimidating Odds==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Intimidate 12 ranks, Power Attack

:'''Benefit:  '''When making an Intimidate check during battle, you may apply a +1 to your roll for every slain ally of the target.  If you have slain at least 5 of your target’s allies and your target is alone, you may take 20 on your Intimidate check.  In this case a success results in your opponent being panicked instead of shaken.

====Iron Stomach==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Con 15, base Fortitude save +3

:'''Benefit:  '''You can derive nourishment from spoiled food and avoid dehydration with seawater with few ill effects.  This allows you to double the amount of time you can do without fresh food and water.

====Knock Down==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 13, Power Attack, weapon proficiency with a two-handed martial weapon type
:'''Benefit:  '''Whenever you roll max damage on a damage roll while using a two-handed weapon, your opponent must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + total damage dealt) or be knocked down.  This results in the opponent being prone and stunned.  On the opponent’s turn, they may make a second Fortitude save with the same DC to break out of the stun, and may then act normally that round.  If the opponent fails the second save, they remain stunned until your action in the round after being knocked down.

Any creatures may be part of a questing party, and it takes 1 full-round action to change the current members of the party for the purpose of this feat.  You are always considered to be part of your own questing party, and you do not count toward the total number of party members.

Quest spells never harm, affect, or hamper members of your questing party, even if they are the targets of the spell or caught within its area or effect.  A quest spell requires 50% more mana than the spell normally costs.

Spells with a casting time of 1 full round may be quickened to a standard action-cast time.  A spell whose normal casting time is more than 1 full round cannot be quickened.

You must be threatening the space the opponent occupies, and the riposte attack counts against the total number of attacks of opportunity you may make each round.

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Caster level 1+

:'''Benefit:  '''This feat allows any sort of spellcaster to store a spell (or song) in written form so she or another spellcaster can use it later, and to create copies of research components.  A typical scroll consists of a vellum or parchment page bearing words and symbols drawn in various colored inks, much like a spellbook page.  Scrolls are stored in tubes or narrow boxes of leather, wood, metal, or other material.  Nothing forbids a “scroll” from taking other forms – anything with writing is possible; actual scrolls are the most common form, however.

====Slam==== (General)

:'''Benefit:  '''A slam attack is an unarmed attack made with any part of the body other than the hands or feet.  With the Slam feat, your slam attacks are considered armed attacks – that is, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity from armed opponents when making a slam attack – and your slam attacks deal 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage (1d4 for barbarians), plus your Strength modifier.

The Slam feat allows you to make a slam attack as part of a full attack action, though with all attacks in the round suffering a -2 penalty.

When using weapons of this class made with a quick delay or faster (i.e., one with an unmodified delay of 4 or less, such as a dagger or rapier), you may apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls.  However, since you need to be able to move your second hand to maintain your balance, you apply the armor check penalty of any shield you wear to your attack rolls while using this feat.

:'''Special:  '''You can gain this feat multiple times.  Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new weapon class.

====Weapon Specialization==== (General)

====Wicked Strike==== (General)

:'''Prerequisites:  '''Str 13, Power Attack

:'''Benefit:  '''Whenever you threaten a critical hit (you need not confirm for the purposes of this feat), your weapon is considered to be a wounding weapon, causing bleeding damage of 1 point per round.  Every successful wound stacks with previous wounds.  The bleeding can only be stopped with a successful Heal check (DC 20) or by the application of any healing magic (minor healing, healing, and so on).  If the weapon being used already has the wounding characteristic, determine each type of wound check separately.  (For example, if you have the Wicked Strike feat and are using a +1 greatsword of wounding (proc) then with each attack, roll for the process effect.  If you roll a natural 20 on your attack roll you also cause a wound.  It is possible to cause a wound by threatening a critical hit and by executing the process effect in the same round, and each cause another instance of bleeding.)
