FEAT DESCRIPTIONS

Here is the format for feat descriptions.

FEAT NAME [TYPE OF FEAT]
Description of what the feat does or represents in plain language.
Prerequisite: A minimum ability score, another feat or feats, a
minimum base attack bonus, a minimum number of ranks in one or
more skills, or a class level that a character must have in order to
acquire this feat. This entry is absent if a feat has no prerequisite. A
feat may have more than one prerequisite.
Benefit: What the feat enables the character (“you” in the feat
description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once,
its benefits do not stack unless indicated otherwise in the description.
In general, having a feat twice is the same as having it once.
Normal: What a character who does not have this feat is limited
to or restricted from doing. If not having the feat causes no
particular drawback, this entry is absent.
Special: Additional facts about the feat that may be helpful when
you decide whether to acquire the feat.

ACROBATIC [GENERAL]
You have excellent body awareness and coordination.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Jump checks and Tumble
checks.

AGILE [GENERAL]
You are particularly flexible and poised.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Balance checks and Escape
Artist checks.

ALERTNESS [GENERAL]
You have finely tuned senses.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Listen checks and Spot checks.
Special: The master of a familiar (see the Familiars sidebar, page
52) gains the benefit of the Alertness feat whenever the familiar is
within arm’s reach.

ANIMAL AFFINITY [GENERAL]
You are good with animals.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Handle Animal checks and
Ride checks.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (HEAVY) [GENERAL]
You are proficient with heavy armor (see Table 7–6: Armor and
Shields, page 123).
Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency
(medium).
Benefit: See Armor Proficiency (light).
Normal: See Armor Proficiency (light).
Special: Fighters, paladins, and clerics automatically have Armor
Proficiency (heavy) as a bonus feat. They need not select it.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (LIGHT) [GENERAL]
You are proficient with light armor (see Table 7–6: Armor and
Shields, page 123).
Benefit: When you wear a type of armor with which you are
proficient, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to
Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick
Pocket, and Tumble checks.
Normal: A character who is wearing armor with which she is not
proficient applies its armor check penalty to attack rolls and to all
skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: All characters except wizards, sorcerers, and monks
automatically have Armor Proficiency (light) as a bonus feat. They
need not select it.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (MEDIUM)

You are proficient with medium armor (see Table 7–6: Armor and
Shields, page 123).
Prerequisite: Armor Proficiency (light).
Benefit: See Armor Proficiency (light).

AUGMENT SUMMONING [GENERAL]
Your summoned creatures are more powerful than normal.
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (conjuration).
Benefit: Each creature you conjure with any summon spell gains a
+4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution for the
duration of the spell that summoned it.

BLIND-FIGHT [GENERAL]
You know how to fight in melee without being able to see your foes.
Benefit: In melee, every time you miss because of concealment,
you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you
actually hit (see Concealment, page 152).
An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in
melee. That is, you don’t lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class,
and the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible
(see Table 8–5: Attack Roll Modifiers and Table 8–6: Armor Class
Modifiers, page 151). The invisible attacker’s bonuses do still apply
for ranged attacks, however.
You take only half the usual penalty to speed for being unable to
see. Darkness and poor visibility in general reduces your speed to
three-quarters normal, instead of one-half (see Table 9–4: Hampered
Movement, page 163).
Normal: Regular attack roll modifiers for invisible attackers
trying to hit you (see Table 8–5: Attack Roll Modifiers, page 151)
apply, and you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC. The speed reduction
for darkness and poor visibility (see Table 9–4: Hampered
Movement, page 163) also applies.
Special: The Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who
is the subject of a blink spell (see page 206).
A fighter may select Blind-Fight as one of his fighter bonus feats
(see page 38).

BREW POTION [ITEM CREATION]
You can create potions, which carry spells within themselves. See
the Dungeon Master’s Guide for rules on potions.
Prerequisite: Caster level 3rd.
Benefit: You can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell
that you know and that targets one or more creatures. Brewing a
potion takes one day. When you create a potion, you set the caster
level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no
higher than your own level. The base price of a potion is its spell
level × its caster level × 50 gp. To brew a potion, you must spend
1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one
half this base price.
When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would
normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is
the target of the spell.
Any potion that stores a spell with a costly material component or
an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs
derived from the base price, you must expend the material
component or pay the XP when creating the potion.

CLEAVE [GENERAL]
You can follow through with powerful blows.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop
(typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get
an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within
reach. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack.
The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as
the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this
ability once per round.
Special: A fighter may select Cleave as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

COMBAT CASTING [GENERAL]
You are adept at casting spells in combat.
Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on Concentration checks made to
cast a spell or use a spell-like ability while on the defensive (see
Casting on the Defensive, page 140) or while you are grappling or
pinned.

COMBAT EXPERTISE [GENERAL]
You are trained at using your combat skill for defense as well as
offense.
Prerequisite: Int 13.
Benefit: When you use the attack action or the full attack action
in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as –5 on your attack roll
and add the same number (+5 or less) as a dodge bonus to your
Armor Class. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus.
The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next
action.
Normal: A character without the Combat Expertise feat can fight
defensively while using the attack or full attack action to take a –4
penalty on attack rolls and gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class.
Special: A fighter may select Combat Expertise as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

COMBAT REFLEXES [GENERAL]
You can respond quickly and repeatedly to opponents who let their
defenses down.
Benefit: When foes leave themselves open, you may make a
number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your Dexterity
bonus. For example, a fighter with a Dexterity of 15 can make a total
of three attacks of opportunity in 1 round—the one attack of
opportunity any character is entitled to, plus two more because of
his +2 Dexterity bonus. If four goblins move out of the character’s
threatened squares, he can make one attack of opportunity each
against three of the four. You can still make only one attack of
opportunity per opportunity.
With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while
flat-footed.
Normal: A character without this feat can make only one attack
of opportunity per round and can’t make attacks of opportunity
while flat-footed.
Special: The Combat Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use
her opportunist ability (see page 51) more than once per round.
A fighter may select Combat Reflexes as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38)
A monk may select Combat Reflexes as a bonus feat at 2nd level.

CRAFT MAGIC ARMS AND ARMOR
[ITEM CREATION]
You can create magic weapons, armor, and shields.
Prerequisite: Caster level 5th.
Benefit: You can create any magic weapon, armor, or shield
whose prerequisites you meet (see the Dungeon Master’s Guide for
prerequisites and other information on these items). Enhancing a
weapon, suit of armor, or shield takes one day for each 1,000 gp in
the price of its magical features. To enhance a weapon, suit of armor,
or shield, you must spend 1/25 of its features’ total price in XP and
use up raw materials costing one-half of this total price.
The weapon, armor, or shield to be enhanced must be a masterwork
item that you provide. Its cost is not included in the above
cost.
You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or
shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP,
half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to craft that
item in the first place.

CRAFT ROD [ITEM CREATION]
You can create magic rods, which have varied magical effects.
Prerequisite: Caster level 9th.
Benefit: You can create any rod whose prerequisites you meet
(see the Dungeon Master’s Guide for prerequisites and other information
on rods). Crafting a rod takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its
base price. To craft a rod, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP
and use up raw materials costing one-half of its base price.
Some rods incur extra costs in material components or XP, as
noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those
derived from the rod’s base price.

CRAFT STAFF [ITEM CREATION]
You can create magic staffs, each of which has multiple
magical effects.
Prerequisite: Caster level 12th.
Benefit: You can create any staff
whose prerequisites you meet
(see the Dungeon Master’s
Guide for prerequisites and
other information on staffs).
Crafting a staff takes
one day for each 1,000
gp in its base price. To
craft a staff, you must spend
1/25 of its base price in XP and
use up raw materials costing
one-half of its base price. A
newly created staff
has 50 charges.
Some staffs incur
extra costs in material
components or XP, as
noted in their descriptions.
These costs are in
addition to those derived
from the staff ’s base price.

CRAFT WAND [ITEM CREATION]
You can create wands, which hold spells (see the Dungeon Master’s
Guide for rules on wands).
Prerequisite: Caster level 5th.
Benefit: You can create a wand of any 4th-level or lower spell that
you know. Crafting a wand takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its
base price. The base price of a wand is its caster level × the spell
level × 750 gp. To craft a wand, you must spend 1/25 of this base
price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this base
price. A newly created wand has 50 charges.
Any wand that stores a spell with a costly material component or
an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the cost
derived from the base price, you must expend fifty copies of the
material component or pay fifty times the XP cost.

CRAFT WONDROUS ITEM [ITEM CREATION]
You can create a wide variety of magic items, such as a crystal ball or a flying carpet.
Prerequisite: Caster level 3rd.Benefit: You can create any wondrous item whose prerequisites
you meet (see the Dungeon Master’s Guide for prerequisites and other information on wondrous items). Enchanting a wondrous item
takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price. To enchant a wondrous
item, you must spend 1/25 of the item’s price in XP and use up raw
materials costing half of this price.
You can also mend a broken wondrous item if it is one that you
could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and
half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place.
Some wondrous items incur extra costs in material components
or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to
those derived from the item’s base price. You must pay such a cost to create an item or to mend a broken one.

DECEITFUL [GENERAL]
You have a knack for disguising the truth.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Disguise checks and Forgery
checks.

DEFLECT ARROWS [GENERAL]
You can deflect incoming arrows, as well as crossbow bolts, spears,
and other projectile or thrown weapons.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing)
to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit
with a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.
Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon doesn’t count as an action.
Unusually massive ranged weapons, such as boulders hurled by
giants, and ranged attacks generated by spell effects, such as Melf’s
acid arrow, can’t be deflected.
Special: A monk may select Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat at 2nd
level, even if she does not meet the prerequisites.
A fighter may select Deflect Arrows as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

DEFT HANDS [GENERAL]
You have exceptional manual dexterity.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Sleight of Hand checks and
Use Rope checks.

DIEHARD [GENERAL]
You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
Prerequisite: Endurance.
Benefit: When reduced to between –1 and –9 hit points, you
automatically become stable. You don’t have to roll d% to see if you
lose 1 hit point each round.
When reduced to negative hit points, you may choose to act as if
you were disabled, rather than dying. You must make this decision
as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points (even if it isn’t your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you
immediately fall unconscious.
When using this feat, you can take either a single move or standard
action each turn, but not both, and you cannot take a full-round
action. You can take a move action without further injuring yourself,
but if you perform any standard action (or any other action the DM
deems as strenuous, including some free actions, such as casting a
quickened spell) you take 1 point of damage after completing the
act. If you reach –10 hit points, you immediately die.
Normal: A character without this feat who is reduced to between
–1 and –9 hit points is unconscious and dying, as described in
Chapter 8: Combat.

DILIGENT [GENERAL]
Your meticulousness allows you to analyze minute details that
others miss.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Appraise checks and Decipher
Script checks.

DODGE [GENERAL]
You are adept at dodging blows.
Prerequisite: Dex 13.
Benefit: During your action, you designate an opponent and
receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that
opponent. You can select a new opponent on any action.
A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor
Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Also, dodge
bonuses (such as this one and a dwarf’s racial bonus on dodge
attempts against giants) stack with each other, unlike most other
types of bonuses.
Special: A fighter may select Dodge as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

EMPOWER SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells to greater effect.
Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are
increased by one-half. An empowered spell deals half again as much
damage as normal, cures half again as many hit points, affects half
again as many targets, and so forth, as appropriate. For example, an empowered magic missile deals 1-1/2 times its normal damage (roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1-1/2 for each missile). Saving
throws and opposed rolls (such as the one you make when you cast
dispel magic) are not affected, nor are spells without random
variables. An empowered spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher
than the spell’s actual level.

ENDURANCE [GENERAL]
You are capable of amazing feats of stamina.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves:
Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage (see page 84),
Constitution checks made to continue running (see page 144),
Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced
march (see page 164), Constitution checks made to hold your breath
(see page 84), Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage
from starvation or thirst (see
page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide), Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments (see pages 302 and 303 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide), and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation (see page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide). Also, you may sleep in light
or medium armor without becoming fatigued. Normal: Acharacter without this feat who sleeps in medium or heavier armor is automatically fatigued the next day. Special: A ranger automatically gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level (see page 48). He need not select it.

ENLARGE SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells farther than normal.
Benefit: You can alter a spell with a range of close, medium, or
long to increase its range by 100%. An enlarged spell with a range of close now has a range of 50 ft. + 5 ft./level, while medium-range
spells have a range of 200 ft. + 20 ft./level and long-range spells have a range of 800 ft. + 80 ft./level. An enlarged spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level. Spells whose ranges are not defined by distance, as well as spells whose ranges are not close, medium, or long, do not have increased ranges.

ESCHEW MATERIALS [GENERAL]
You can cast spells without relying on material components.
Benefit: You can cast any spell that has a material component
costing 1 gp or less without needing that component. (The casting of
the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.) If the spell
requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must
have the material component at hand to cast the spell, just as
normal.

EXOTIC WEAPON PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
Choose a type of exotic weapon, such as dire flail or shuriken (see
Table 7–5: Weapons, page 116, for a list of exotic weapons). You
understand how to use that type of exotic weapon in combat.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1 (plus Str 13 for bastard sword
or dwarven waraxe).
Benefit: You make attack rolls with the weapon normally.
Normal: A character who uses a weapon with which he or she is
not proficient takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls.
Special: You can gain Exotic Weapon Proficiency multiple times.
Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of exotic
weapon. Proficiency with the bastard sword or the dwarven waraxe
has an additional prerequisite of Str 13.
A fighter may select Exotic Weapon Proficiency as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38)

EXTEND SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells that last longer than normal.
Benefit: An extended spell lasts twice as long as normal. A spell
with a duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent is not
affected by this feat. An extended spell uses up a spell slot one level
higher than the spell’s actual level.

EXTRA TURNING [GENERAL]
You can turn or rebuke creatures more often than normal.
Prerequisite: Ability to turn or rebuke creatures.
Benefit: Each time you take this feat, you can use your ability to
turn or rebuke creatures four more times per day than normal.
If you have the ability to turn or rebuke more than one kind of
creature (such as a good-aligned cleric with access to the Fire
domain, who can turn undead and water creatures and can also
rebuke fire creatures), each of your turning or rebuking abilities
gains four additional uses per day.
Normal: Without this feat, a character can typically turn or
rebuke undead (or other creatures) a number of times per day equal
to 3 + his or her Charisma modifier.
Special: You can gain Extra Turning multiple times. Its effects
stack. Each time you take the feat, you can use each of your turning
or rebuking abilities four additional times per day.

FAR SHOT [GENERAL]
You can get greater distance out of a ranged weapon.
Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: When you use a projectile weapon, such as a bow, its
range increment increases by one-half (multiply by 1-1/2). When
you use a thrown weapon, its range increment is doubled.
Special: A fighter may select Far Shot as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

FORGE RING [ITEM CREATION]
You can create magic rings, which have varied magical effects.
Prerequisite: Caster level 12th.
Benefit: You can create any ring whose prerequisites you meet
(see the Dungeon Master’s Guide for prerequisites and other information on rings). Crafting a ring takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To craft a ring, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of its base price. You can also mend a broken ring if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to forge that ring in the first place. Some magic rings incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. For example, a ring of three wishes costs 15,000 XP in addition to costs derived from its base price (as many XP as it costs to cast wish three times). You must pay such a cost to forge such a ring or to mend a broken one.

GREAT CLEAVE [GENERAL]
You can wield a melee weapon with such power that you can strike
multiple times when you fell your foes.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Cleave, Power Attack, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: This feat works like Cleave, except that there is no limit
to the number of times you can use it per round.
Special: A fighter may select Great Cleave as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

GREAT FORTITUDE [GENERAL]
You are tougher than normal.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Fortitude saving throws.

GREATER SPELL FOCUS [GENERAL]
Choose a school of magic to which you already have applied the
Spell Focus feat. Your spells of that school are now even more potent than before.
Benefit: Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws
against spells from the school of magic you select. This bonus stacks
with the bonus from Spell Focus.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new school of magic
to which you already have applied the Spell Focus feat.

GREATER SPELL PENETRATION [GENERAL]
Your spells are remarkably potent, breaking through spell resistance
more readily than normal.
Prerequisite: Spell Penetration.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on caster level checks (1d20 + caster
level) made to overcome a creature’s spell resistance. This bonus
stacks with the one from Spell Penetration (see page 100).

GREATER TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]
You are a master at fighting two-handed.
Prerequisites: Dex 19, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-
Weapon Fighting, base attack bonus +11.
Benefit: You get a third attack with your off-hand weapon, albeit
at a –10 penalty.
Special: A fighter may select Greater Two-Weapon Fighting as
one of his fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
An 11th-level ranger who has chosen the two-weapon combat
style is treated as having Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, even if he
does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing
light or no armor (see page 48).

GREATER WEAPON FOCUS [GENERAL]
Choose one type of weapon, such as greataxe, for which you have
already selected Weapon Focus. You can also choose unarmed strike
or grapple as your weapon for purposes of this feat. You are
especially good at using this weapon.
Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Weapon Focus
with selected weapon, fighter level 8th.
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using
the selected weapon. This bonus stacks with other bonuses on attack
rolls, including the one from Weapon Focus (see below).
Special: You can gain Greater Weapon Focus multiple times. Its
effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new
type of weapon.
A fighter must have Greater Weapon Focus with a given weapon
to gain the Greater Weapon Specialization feat for that weapon.
A fighter may select Greater Weapon Focus as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

[sinx22]

HEIGHTEN SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast a spell as if it were a higher-level spell than it actually is.
Benefit: A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal
(up to a maximum of 9th 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 and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerability) are
calculated according to the heightened level. The heightened spell is
as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level. For
example, a cleric could prepare hold person as a 4th-level spell
(instead of a 2nd-level spell), and it would in all ways be treated as a 4th-level spell.

IMPROVED BULL RUSH [GENERAL]
You know how to push opponents back.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: When you perform a bull rush (page 154), you do not
provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender. You also gain a
+4 bonus on the opposed Strength check you make to push back the
defender.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Bull Rush as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED COUNTERSPELL [GENERAL]
You understand the nuances of magic to such an extent that you can
counter your opponent’s spells with great efficiency.
Benefit: When counterspelling, you may use a spell of the same
school that is one or more spell levels higher than the target spell.
Normal: Without this feat, you may counter a spell only with the
same spell or with a spell specifically designated as countering the
target spell.

IMPROVED CRITICAL [GENERAL]
Choose one type of weapon, such as longsword or greataxe. With
that weapon, you know how to hit where it hurts.
Prerequisite: Proficient with weapon, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: When using the weapon you selected, your threat range
is doubled. For example, a longsword usually threatens a critical hit
on a roll of 19–20 (two numbers). If a character using a longsword
has Improved Critical (longsword), the threat range becomes 17–20
(four numbers).
Special: You can gain Improved Critical multiple times. The
effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new
type of weapon.
This effect doesn’t stack with any other effect that expands the
threat range of a weapon (such as the keen edge spell).
A fighter may select Improved Critical as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED DISARM [GENERAL]
You know how to disarm opponents in melee combat.
Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you
attempt to disarm an opponent, nor does the opponent have a
chance to disarm you. You also gain a +4 bonus on the opposed
attack roll you make to disarm your opponent.
Normal: See the normal disarm rules, page 155.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Disarm as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
A monk may select Improved Disarm as a bonus feat at 6th level,
even if she does not meet the prerequisites.

IMPROVED FEINT [GENERAL]
You are skilled at misdirecting your opponent’s attention in combat.
Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise.
Benefit: You can make a Bluff check to feint in combat as a move
action.

A fighter may select Improved Feint as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED GRAPPLE [GENERAL]
You are skilled at grappling opponents.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you
make a touch attack to start a grapple. You also gain a +4 bonus on all
grapple checks, regardless of whether you started the grapple.
Normal: Without this feat, you provoke an attack of opportunity
when you make a touch attack to start a grapple.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Grapple as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
A monk may select Improved Grapple as a bonus feat at 1st level,
even if she does not meet the prerequisites.

IMPROVED INITIATIVE [GENERAL]
You can react more quickly than normal in a fight.
Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Initiative as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED OVERRUN [GENERAL]

avoid you or to block you.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Overrun as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED PRECISE SHOT [GENERAL]
Your ranged attacks can ignore the effects of cover or concealment.
Prerequisites: Dex 19, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base
attack bonus +11.
Benefit: Your ranged attacks ignore the AC bonus granted to
targets by anything less than total cover, and the miss chance
granted to targets by anything less than total concealment. Total
cover and total concealment provide their normal benefits against
your ranged attacks.
In addition, when you shoot or throw ranged weapons at a grappling
opponent, you automatically strike at the opponent you have
chosen.
Normal: See pages 150–152 for rules on the effects of cover and
concealment. Without this feat, a character who shoots or throws a
ranged weapon at a target involved in a grapple must roll randomly
to see which grappling combatant the attack strikes.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Precise Shot as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
An 11th-level ranger who has chosen the archery combat style is
treated as having Improved Precise Shot, even if he does not have
the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing light or no
armor (see page 48).

IMPROVED SHIELD BASH [GENERAL]
You can bash with a shield while retaining its shield bonus to your
Armor Class.
Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency.
Benefit: When you perform a shield bash, you may still apply the
shield’s shield bonus to your AC.
Normal: Without this feat, a character who performs a shield
bash loses the shield’s shield bonus to AC until his or her next turn.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Shield Bash as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED SUNDER [GENERAL]
You are skilled at attacking your opponents’ weapons and shields, as
well as other objects.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: When you strike at an object held or carried by an
opponent (such as a weapon or shield), you do not provoke an attack
of opportunity (see Sunder, page 158).
You also gain a +4 bonus on any attack roll made to attack an
object held or carried by another character.
Normal: Without this feat, you provoke an attack of opportunity
when you strike at an object held or carried by another character.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Sunder as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED TRIP [GENERAL]
You are trained not only in tripping opponents safely but also in
following through with an attack.
Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you
attempt to trip an opponent while you are unarmed. You also gain a
+4 bonus on your Strength check to trip your opponent.
If you trip an opponent in melee combat, you immediately get a
melee attack against that opponent as if you hadn’t used your attack
for the trip attempt. For example, at 11th level, Tordek gets three
attacks at bonuses of +11, +6, and +1. In the current round, he
attempts to trip his opponent. His first attempt fails (using up his
first attack). His second attempt succeeds, and he immediately
makes a melee attack against his opponent with a bonus of +6.
Finally, he takes his last attack at a bonus of +1.
Normal: Without this feat, you provoke an attack of opportunity
when you attempt to trip an opponent while you are unarmed. See
Trip, page 158.
Special: At 6th level, a monk may select Improved Trip as a
bonus feat, even if she does not have the prerequisites.
A fighter may select Improved Trip as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

IMPROVED TURNING [GENERAL]
Your turning or rebuking attempts are more powerful than normal.
Prerequisite: Ability to turn or rebuke creatures.
Benefit: You turn or rebuke creatures as if you were one level
higher than you are in the class that grants you the ability.

IMPROVED TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]
You are an expert in fighting two-handed.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Two-Weapon Fighting, base attack bonus
+6.
Benefit: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get
with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it, albeit at a –
5 penalty (see Table 8–10, page 160).
Normal: Without this feat, you can only get a single extra attack
with an off-hand weapon.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Two-Weapon Fighting as
one of his fighter bonus feats.
A 6th-level ranger who has chosen the two-weapon combat style
is treated as having Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, even if he
does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing
light or no armor (see page 48).

IMPROVED UNARMED STRIKE [GENERAL]
You are skilled at fighting while unarmed.
Benefit: You are considered to be armed even when unarmed —
that is, you do not provoke attacks or opportunity from armed
opponents when you attack them while unarmed. However, you
still get an attack of opportunity against any opponent who makes
an unarmed attack on you.
In addition, your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal
damage, at your option.
Normal: Without this feat, you are considered unarmed when
attacking with an unarmed strike, and you can deal only nonlethal
damage with such an attack.
Special: A monk automatically gains Improved Unarmed Strike
as a bonus feat at 1st level. She need not select it.
A fighter may select Improved Unarmed Strike as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

INVESTIGATOR [GENERAL]
You have a knack for finding information.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Gather Information checks
and Search checks.

IRON WILL [GENERAL]
You have a stronger will than normal.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws.

LEADERSHIP [GENERAL]
You are the sort of person others want to follow, and you have done
some work attempting to recruit cohorts and followers.
Prerequisite: Character level 6th.
Benefit: You can attract loyal companions and
devoted followers, subordinates who assist you. Your DM
has information on what sort of cohort and how many
followers you can recruit.
Special: Check with your DM before selecting this feat, and work
with your DM to determine an appropriate cohort and followers for
your character (the Dungeon Master’s Guide has more information on
cohorts and followers).

LIGHTNING REFLEXES [GENERAL]
You have faster than normal reflexes.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Reflex saving throws.

MAGICAL APTITUDE [GENERAL]
You have a knack for magical endeavors.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Spellcraft checks and Use
Magic Device checks.

MANYSHOT [GENERAL]
You can fire multiple arrows simultaneously against a nearby target.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack
bonus +6
Benefit: As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single
opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with
a –4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally (but
see Special).
For every five points of base attack bonus you have above +6, you
may add one additional arrow to this attack, to a maximum of four
arrows at a base attack bonus of +16. However, each arrow after the
second adds a cumulative –2 penalty on the attack roll (for a total
penalty of –6 for three arrows and –8 for four).
Damage reduction and other resistances apply separately against
each arrow fired.
Special: Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply
precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) only once. If
you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical
damage; all others deal regular damage.
A fighter may select Manyshot as one of his fighter bonus feats
(see page 38).
A 6th-level ranger who has chosen the archery combat style is
treated as having Manyshot even if he does not have the
prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor
(see page 48).

MARTIAL WEAPON PROFICIENCY
[GENERAL]
Choose a type of martial weapon, such as a longbow
(see Table 7–5: Weapons, page 116, for a list of martial
weapons). You understand how to use that type of
martial weapon in combat.
Use this feat to expand the
list of weapons with which
you are proficient beyond the basic list in your
class description.
Benefit: You make attack rolls with the selected
weapon normally.
Normal: When using a weapon with which you are
not proficient, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls.
Special: Barbarians, fighters, paladins, and rangers are
proficient with all martial weapons. They need not select
this feat.
You can gain Martial Weapon Proficiency multiple
times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of
weapon.
A cleric who chooses the War domain automatically gains the
Martial Weapon Proficiency feat related to his deity’s favored
weapon as a bonus feat, if the weapon is a martial one. He need not
select it.
A sorcerer or wizard who casts the spell Tenser’s transformation on
himself or herself gains proficiency with all martial weapons for the
duration of the spell.

MAXIMIZE SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells to maximum effect.
Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this
feat are maximized. A maximized spell deals maximum damage,
cures the maximum number of hit points, affects the maximum
number of targets, etc., as appropriate. For example, a maximized
fireball deals 6 points of damage per caster level (up to a maximum of 60 points of damage at 10th caster level). Saving throws and opposed rolls (such as the one you make when you cast dispel magic) are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. A maximized spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.
An empowered, maximized spell gains the separate benefits of
each feat: the maximum result plus one-half the normally rolled
result. An empowered, maximized fireball cast by a 15th-level wizard
deals points of damage equal to 60 plus one half of 10d6

MOBILITY [GENERAL]
You are skilled at dodging past opponents and avoiding blows.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge.
Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks
of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened
area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to
Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Dodge
bonuses (such as this one and a dwarf’s racial bonus on dodge
attempts against giants) stack with each other, unlike most types of
bonuses.
Special: A fighter may select Mobility as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

MOUNTED ARCHERY [GENERAL]
You are skilled at using ranged weapons while mounted.
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: The penalty you take when using a ranged weapon while
mounted is halved: –2 instead of –4 if your mount is taking a double
move, and –4 instead of –8 if your mount is running (see Mounted
Combat, page 157).
Special: A fighter may select Mounted Archery as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

MOUNTED COMBAT [GENERAL]
You are skilled in mounted combat.
Prerequisite: Ride 1 rank.
Benefit: Once per round when your mount is hit in combat, you
may attempt a Ride check (as a reaction) to negate the hit. The hit is
negated if your Ride check result is greater than the opponent’s
attack roll. (Essentially, the Ride check result becomes the mount’s
Armor Class if it’s higher than the mount’s regular AC.)
Special: A fighter may select Mounted Combat as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

NATURAL SPELL [GENERAL]
You can cast spells while in a wild shape.
Prerequisites: Wis 13, wild shape ability.
Benefit: You can complete the verbal and somatic components of
spells 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
also use any material components or focuses you possess, even if
such items are melded within your current form. This feat does not
permit the use of magic items while you are in a form that could not
ordinarily use them, and you do not gain the ability to speak while
in a wild shape.

NEGOTIATOR [GENERAL]
You are good at gauging and swaying attitudes.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Diplomacy checks and Sense
Motive checks.

NIMBLE FINGERS [GENERAL]
You are adept at manipulating small, delicate objects.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Disable Device checks and
Open Lock checks.

PERSUASIVE [GENERAL]
You have a way with words and body language.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Bluff checks and Intimidate
checks.

POINT BLANK SHOT [GENERAL]
You are skilled at making well-placed shots with ranged weapons at
close range.
Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with
ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.
Special: A fighter may select Point Blank Shot as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

POWER ATTACK [GENERAL]
You can make exceptionally powerful melee attacks.
Prerequisite: Str 13.
Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round,
you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and
add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may
not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus
on damage apply until your next turn.
Special: If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a onehanded
weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number
subtracted from your attack rolls. You can’t add the bonus from
Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with
unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the
penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Normally, you treat a double
weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose
to use a double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with
only one end of it in a round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.)
A fighter may select Power Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats
(see page 38).

PRECISE SHOT [GENERAL]
You are skilled at timing and aiming ranged attacks.
Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent
engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on your
attack roll (see Shooting or Throwing into a Melee, page 140).
Special: A fighter may select Precise Shot as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

QUICK DRAW [GENERAL]
You can draw weapons with startling speed.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You can draw a weapon as a free action instead of as a
move action. You can draw a hidden weapon (see the Sleight of
Hand skill, page 81) as a move action.
A character who has selected this feat may throw weapons at his
full normal rate of attacks (much like a character with a bow).
Normal: Without this feat, you may draw a weapon as a move
action, or (if your base attack bonus is +1 or higher) as a free action
as part of movement (see page 142). Without this feat, you can draw
a hidden weapon as a standard action.
Special: A fighter may select Quick Draw as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

QUICKEN SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast a spell with a moment’s thought.
Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a free action. You can perform
another action, even casting another spell, in the same round
as you cast a quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell
per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full-round
action cannot be quickened. A quickened spell uses up a spell slot
four levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Casting a quickened
spell doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.
Special: This feat can’t be applied to any spell cast spontaneously
(including sorcerer spells, bard spells, and cleric or druid spells cast
spontaneously), since applying a metamagic feat to a spontaneously
cast spell automatically increases the casting time to a full-round
action.

RAPID RELOAD [GENERAL]
Choose a type of crossbow (hand, light, or heavy). You can reload a
crossbow of that type more quickly than normal.
Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (crossbow type chosen).
Benefit: The time required for you to reload your chosen type of
crossbow is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light crossbow) or a move action (for a heavy crossbow).
Reloading a crossbow still provokes an attack of opportunity.
If you have selected this feat for hand crossbow or light crossbow, you may fire that weapon as many times in a full attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow.
Normal: A character without this feat needs a move action to reload a hand or light crossbow, or a fullround action to reload a heavy crossbow.
Special: You can gain Rapid Reload multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of crossbow.
A fighter may select Rapid Reload as one of his fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

[sinx22]

RAPID SHOT [GENERAL]
You can use ranged
weapons with exceptional
speed.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: You can get one extra attack per
round with a ranged weapon. The attack is at your
highest base attack bonus, but each attack you
make in that round (the extra one and the normal
ones) takes a –2 penalty. You must use the full
attack action (see page 143) to use this feat.
Special: A fighter may select Rapid Shot as one
of his fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
A 2nd-level ranger who has chosen the archery
combat style is treated as having Rapid Shot, even
if he does not have the prerequisites for it, but
only when he is wearing light or no armor (see
page 48).

RIDE-BY ATTACK [GENERAL]
You are skilled at making fast attacks for your mount.
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: When you are mounted and use the charge action, you may move and attack as if with a standard charge and then move again (continuing the straight line of the charge). Your total movement for the round can’t exceed double your mounted speed. You and your mount do not provoke an attack of opportunity from the opponent that you attack.
Special: A fighter may select Ride-By Attack as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

RUN [GENERAL]
You are fleet of foot.
Benefit: When running, you move five times your normal speed (if wearing light or no armor and carrying no more than a light load) or four times your speed (if wearing medium or heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavy load). If you make a jump after a running start (see the Jump skill description, page 77), you gain a +4 bonus on your Jump check. While running, you retain your Dexterity bonus to AC.
Normal: You move four times your speed while running (if wearing light or no armor and carrying no more than a light load) or three times your speed (if wearing medium or heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavy
load), and you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC.

SCRIBE SCROLL [ITEM CREATION]
You can create scrolls, from which
you or another spellcaster can cast
the scribed spells. See the Dungeon
Master’s Guide for rules on scrolls.
Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.
Benefit: You can create a scroll of any spell that you know.
Scribing a scroll takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a scroll is its spell level × its caster level × 25 gp. To scribe a scroll, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this base price.
Any scroll that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when scribing the scroll.

SELF-SUFFICIENT [GENERAL]
You can take care of yourself in harsh environments and situations.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Heal checks and Survival
checks.

SHIELD PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
You are proficient with bucklers, small shields, and large shields.
Benefit: You can use a shield and take only the standard penalties
(see Table 7–6: Armor and Shields, page 123).
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
on all skill checks that involve
moving, including Ride checks.
Special: Barbarians, bards,
clerics, druids, fighters, paladins,
and rangers automatically have
Shield Proficiency as a bonus feat.
They need not select it.

SHOT ON THE RUN [GENERAL]
You are highly trained in skirmish
ranged weapon tactics.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge,
Mobility, Point Blank Shot, base attack
bonus +4.
Benefit: When using the attack action
with a ranged weapon, you can move both
before and after the attack, provided that
your total distance moved is not greater
than your speed.
Special: A fighter may select Shot on the Run as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).

SILENT SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells silently.
Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components.
Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell
uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
Special: Bard spells cannot be enhanced by this metamagic feat.

SIMPLE WEAPON PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
You understand how to use all types of simple weapons in combat
(see Table 7–5: Weapons, page 116, for a list of simple weapons).
Benefit: You make attack rolls with simple weapons normally.
Normal: When using a weapon with which you are not
proficient, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls.
Special: All characters except for druids, monks, rogues, and
wizards are automatically proficient with all simple weapons. They
need not select this feat.
A sorcerer or wizard who casts the spell Tenser’s transformation on
himself or herself gains proficiency with all simple weapons for the
duration of the spell.

SKILL FOCUS [GENERAL]
Choose a skill, such as Move Silently. You have a special knack with
that skill.
Benefit: You get a +3 bonus on all checks involving that skill.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill.

SNATCH ARROWS [GENERAL]
You are adept at grabbing incoming arrows, as well as crossbow
bolts, spears, and other projectile or thrown weapons.
Prerequisites: Dex 15, Deflect Arrows, Improved Unarmed
Strike.
Benefit: When using the Deflect Arrows feat (page 93), you may
catch the weapon instead of just deflecting it. Thrown weapons,
such as spears or axes, can immediately be thrown back at the
original attacker (even though it isn’t your turn) or kept for later use.
You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this
feat.
Special: A fighter may select Snatch Arrows as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

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 Difficulty
Class for all saving throws against
spells from the school of magic you
select. Special: You can gain this feat
multiple times. Its effects do not stack.
Each time you take the feat, it applies
to a new school of magic.

SPELL MASTERY [SPECIAL]
You are so intimately familiar with certain
spells that you don’t need a spellbook to
prepare them anymore.
Prerequisite: Wizard level 1st.
Benefit: Each time you take this feat,
choose a number of spells equal to your
Intelligence modifier that you already know. From that point on,
you can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook.
Normal: Without this feat, you must use a spellbook to prepare
all your spells, except read magic.

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 (1d20 + caster
level) made to overcome a creature’s spell resistance.

SPIRITED CHARGE [GENERAL]
You are trained at making a devastating mounted charge.
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack.
Benefit: When mounted and using the charge action, you deal
double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance).
Special: A fighter may select Spirited Charge as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

SPRING ATTACK [GENERAL]
You are trained in fast melee attacks and fancy footwork.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: When using the attack action with a melee weapon, you
can move both before and after the attack, provided that your total
distance moved is not greater than your speed. Moving in this way
does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender you
attack, though it might provoke attacks of opportunity from other
creatures, if appropriate. You can’t use this feat if you are wearing
heavy armor.
You must move at least 5 feet both before and after you make your
attack in order to utilize the benefits of Spring Attack.
Special: A fighter may select Spring Attack as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).
Special: A fighter may select Spring Attack as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

STEALTHY [GENERAL]
You are particularly good at avoiding notice.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Hide checks and Move
Silently checks.

STILL SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can cast spells without gestures.
Benefit: A stilled spell can be cast with no somatic components.
Spells without somatic components are not affected. A stilled spell
uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

STUNNING FIST [GENERAL]
You know how to strike opponents in vulnerable areas.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base
attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you
make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt).
Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make
a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your
Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender
who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before
your next action). A stunned character can’t act, loses any Dexterity
bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a
stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained
(but see Special), and no more than once per round. Constructs,
oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune
to critical hits cannot be stunned.
Special: A monk may select Stunning Fist as a bonus feat at 1st
level, even if she does not meet the prerequisites. A monk who
selects this feat may attempt a stunning attack a number of times per day equal to her monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels she has in classes other than monk.
A fighter may select Stunning Fist as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

TOUGHNESS [GENERAL]
You are tougher than normal.
Benefit: You gain +3 hit points.
Special: A character may gain this feat multiple times. Its effects
stack.

TOWER SHIELD PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
You are proficient with tower shields.
Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency.
Benefit: You can use a tower shield and suffer only the standard
penalties (see Table 7–6: Armor and Shields, page 123).
Normal: A character who is using a shield with which he or she
is not proficient takes the shield’s armor check penalty on attack
rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: Fighters automatically have Tower Shield Proficiency as
a bonus feat. They need not select it.

TRACK [GENERAL]
You can follow the trails of creatures and characters across most
types of terrain.
Benefit: To find tracks or to follow them for 1 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 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface
and the prevailing conditions, as given on the table below:
Surface Survival DC Surface Survival DC
Very soft ground 5 Firm ground 15
Soft ground 10 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 but 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 and 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 may apply to the Survival check, as given on the
table below.
Condition Survival DC Modifier
Every three creatures in the group being tracked –1
Size of creature or creatures being tracked:1
Fine +8
Diminutive +4
Tiny +2
Small +1
Medium +0
Large –1
Huge –2
Gargantuan –4
Colossal –8
Every 24 hours since the trail was made +1
Every hour of rain since the trail was made +1
Fresh snow cover since the trail was made +10
Poor visibility:2
Overcast or moonless night +6
Moonlight +3
Fog or precipitation +3
Tracked party hides trail (and moves at half speed) +5
1 For a group of mixed sizes, apply only the modifier for the largest size category. 2 Apply only the largest modifier from this category.
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 using the DCs given above, but you can’t use Search to follow tracks, even if someone else has
already found them.
Special: A ranger automatically has Track as a bonus feat. He
need not select it.
This feat does not allow you to find or follow the tracks made by a
subject of a pass without trace spell.

TRAMPLE [GENERAL]
You are trained in using your mount to knock down opponents.
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent while
mounted, your target may not choose to avoid you. Your mount may
make one hoof attack against any target you knock down, gaining
the standard +4 bonus on attack rolls against prone targets (see
Overrun, page 157).
Special: A fighter may select Trample as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38).

TWO-WEAPON DEFENSE [GENERAL]
Your two-weapon fighting style bolsters your defense as well as your
offense.
Prerequisites: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting.
Benefit: When wielding a double weapon or two weapons (not
including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +1 shield
bonus to your AC.
When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense
action, this shield bonus increases to +2.
Special: A fighter may select Two-Weapon Defense as one of his
fighter bonus feats.

TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]
You can fight with a weapon in each hand. You can make one extra
attack each round with the second weapon.
Prerequisite: Dex 15.
Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two
weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by
2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6.
Normal: See Two-Weapon Fighting, page 160, and Table 8–10:
Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties, page 160.
Special: A 2nd-level ranger who has chosen the two-weapon
combat style is treated as having Two-Weapon Fighting, even if he
does not have the prerequisite for it, but only when he is wearing
light or no armor (see page 48).
A fighter may select Two-Weapon Fighting as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

WEAPON FINESSE [GENERAL]
You are especially skilled at using weapons that can benefit as much
from Dexterity as from Strength.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made
for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity
modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you
carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Special: A fighter may select Weapon Finesse as one of his
fighter bonus feats (see page 38).
Natural weapons are always considered light weapons.

WEAPON FOCUS [GENERAL]
Choose one type of weapon, such as greataxe. You can also choose
unarmed strike or grapple (or ray, if you are a spellcaster) as your
weapon for purposes of this feat. You are especially good at using
this weapon. (If you have chosen ray, you are especially good with
rays, such as the one produced by the ray of frost spell.)
Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, base attack
bonus +1.
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using
the selected weapon.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.
A fighter may select Weapon Focus as one of his fighter bonus
feats (see page 38). He must have Weapon Focus with a weapon to
gain the Weapon Specialization feat for that weapon.

WEAPON SPECIALIZATION [GENERAL]
Choose one type of weapon, such as greataxe, for which you have
already selected the Weapon Focus feat. You can also choose
unarmed strike or grapple as your weapon for purposes of this feat.
You deal extra damage when using this weapon.
Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Weapon Focus
with selected weapon, fighter level 4th.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all damage rolls you make using
the selected weapon.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.
A fighter may select Weapon Specialization as one of his fighter
bonus feats (see page 38).

WHIRLWIND ATTACK [GENERAL]
You can strike nearby opponents in an amazing, spinning attack.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge,
Mobility, Spring Attack, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: When you use the full attack action, you can give up
your regular attacks and instead make one melee attack at your full
base attack bonus against each opponent within reach.
When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any
bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities (such as the Cleave feat or the haste spell).
Special: A fighter may select Whirlwind Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats.

WIDEN SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can increase the area of your spells.
Benefit: You can alter a burst, emanation, line, or spread shaped
spell to increase its area. Any numeric measurements of the spell’s
area increase by 100%. For example, a fireball spell (which normally
produces a 20-foot-radius spread) that is widened now fills a 40-footradius spread. A widened spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Spells that do not have an area of one of these four sorts are not affected by this feat.
