MEGA-FEATS VOL. II

Welcome to our second volume of Mega-Feats!

Included in this book are over 90 new feats, as well as

a section of new Flaws to add flavor to your game, in

addition to several new spells and other items. Lets

dive right into the new Feats. But first, a few notes of

clarification:

The term bonded creature is used to

collectively refer to a familiar, animal companion, special

mount, fiendish servant, or psicrystal. Feats with the

fighter tag may be taken as bonus feats by fighters.

Optional Rule: Any creature with the

Extraplanar subtype (such as fiendish servants and some

improved familiars), when it becomes a bonded creature,

treats its masters home plane as being its home plane

also. The bonded creatures native plane is effectively aforeign plane until it is no longer a bonded creature.

ALTERNATIVE CHANNELING

[GENERAL]Your god knows there are times when the energy it

disapproves of can still be useful, and makes a special

allowance for you.

Prerequisites: Ability to spontaneously cast

cure/inflictspells, ability to turn/rebuke undead.

Benefit: When you lose a prepared spell youmay spontaneously cast either a cure or inflictspell of

that spells level or lower. You are able to turn and rebuke

undead, though you can only do one at a time, and your

total number of turn/rebuke attempts per day remains

unchanged.

ANIMAL RAPPORT [GENERAL]Your supernatural charm affects animals around you.

Prerequisites: Must be a vampire, must have the

Children of the Night ability.

Benefit: Animals that come within 30 feet of

you are subject to a charm animal effect, at a caster level

equal to your hit dice/levels. The DC for this effect is

10 + your hit dice/levels + your Charisma modifier.

Animals that save against this effect are immune to it

for 24 hours. This is a supernatural effect that is always

active; you do not need to take an action to have it affect

animals around you. You may suppress or resume this

ability as a free action on your turn.

BELLICOSE SPELLCASTER

[GENERAL]You can make somatic gestures even when being

grappled.

Prerequisite: Improved Grapple.

Benefit: You can cast spells with somatic

components when being grappled or pinned.

You must still meet all other prerequisites for

casting spells while grappled (e.g. you must have

components in hand, make a Concentration check

etc).

Normal: You cannot cast spells with

somatic components while being grappled.

BLOOD OF THE WORLD [GENERAL]Because metal comes from the earth, wearing

some of it does not conflict with your harmony

with nature.

Prerequisite: Ability to cast druid spells. Benefit: When you take this feat, select

one type of armor or shield. Using that armor or

shield is not prohibited, and does not cause you to

lose any druid spells or abilities.

Special: This feat applies regardless of

the type of metal used for the armor or shield

selected. For example, a druid who took this feat

and selected full plate armor could wear steel or

mithral full plate armor without losing his class

abilities.

This feat may be selected multiple times.

Each time it is chosen, it applies to a different

type of armor or shield.

Normal: Druids who wear metal armor or

use metal shields cannot use spells, supernatural,

or spell-like abilities from their class while doing

so, and for twenty-four hours thereafter.

CHARM BREAKER

[SPELLTOUCHED]

Having been charmed before, you know how tobreak such enchantments placed on other people.

Prerequisite: Exposure to charm person

or charm monsterspell.

Benefit: Every time you cause melee

damage to someone under the effects of a spell

or spell-like ability of the Charm sub-school, that

character may immediately make a new saving

throw against the Charm effect (at its original

save DC).


5/25

CONCEAL MORALITY

[SPELLTOUCHED]You resist attempts to determine your alignment.

Prerequisite: Exposure to detect chaos, detect

evil, detect good, or detect law spell.

Benefit: When subject to a spell or spell-like

ability that would determine your alignment, you may

make a Will save (at the normal DC for a spell) to keep

your alignment hidden. This save is separate from any

other effects the spell may have; it is only made to keep

your alignment concealed.

CONCENTRATION SUPPORT

[GENERAL]Your bonded creature is able to concentrate on existing

spells or powers for you.

Prerequisite: Empathic or telepathic link with a

bonded creature.

Benefit: After casting a spell or manifestinga power that requires concentration to maintain, you

may, as a move action that does not provoke an attack

of opportunity, pass concentration over to your bonded

creature. Your bonded creature is treated as having your

class levels for purposes of concentration duration,

and may only concentrate on one spell or power at

a time. You may resume concentration yourself on

subsequent rounds, if you wish, as another free action

that does not provoke an AoO. Your bonded creature

may only maintain spells or powers from the class itsadvancement is based on. For example, a multiclass

wizard/psion that had a psicrystal and this feat could

have his psicrystal maintain concentration on a psionic

power he manifested, but not on an arcane spell he cast.

Special: This feat can be taken more than once.

Each time it is taken, it applies to a different bonded

creature that you have.

CONSCIOUS PHYLACTERY [GENERAL]When in your phylactery, youre aware, and are still

active. Prerequisite: Phylacteric Item.

Benefit: When in your phylactery, it is treated

as being an intelligent magic item with your alignment

and mental ability scores. You have 60 ft. darkvision

and hearing, with the ability to read normally. You

may speak telepathically in any language you know

to a range of 60 ft. You may use any Intelligence-,

Wisdom-, or Charisma-based skills. You have an Ego

score that is calculated normally (see Table: Item Ego

in the DMG). You may use any spell-like abilities you

possess normally, or any of the phylacterys magic item

abilities. You use your own base saving throw scores.

You do not have any lesser, greater, special purpose,

or dedicated powers that normal intelligent items

have. You cannot cast spells or use extraordinary or

supernatural abilities. You may only use feats that do

not rely on having a physical body (e.g. you still benefitfrom Alertness, but cannot use Power Attack).

Normal: When in your phylactery, you cannot

use any powers or abilities.

COUNTERPOWER [PSIONIC]You may use a psionic power to disrupt the

manifestation of the same power by another psionicist.

Benefit: You may counterpower psionic powers

the same way spellcasters may counterspell magic

spells, including using dispel psionics. Unaugmented

powers may be used to counterpower augmented ones. Special: If using magic-psionic transparency,

psionic versions of spells may be used to counterpower

those spells (such aspsionic disintegrateand

disintegrate), and vice versa.

CREATE SLAVES [GENERAL]You always create vampire slaves, instead of mere

spawn.

Prerequisites: Must be a vampire, must have

the Create Spawn ability.Benefit: Creatures that you subject to your

Create Spawn ability always rise as vampire slaves

(they have your vampire template applied to them)

rather than vampire spawn.

Normal: Certain uses of the Create Spawn

power create vampire spawn, while others create true

vampire slaves.

DARK PRESENCE [GENERAL]Your unnatural presence extinguishes lights all around

you. Prerequisite: Undead type.

Benefit: You radiate an aura that causes natural

sources of light up to 60 feet away from you to be

extinguished. Magical sources of light only illuminate

an area half as large as usual. You may suppress or

resume this aura as a free action on your turn.

Special: Undead with special vulnerability to

light (such as spectres or vampires) may not take this

feat.


6/25

DEDICATED ALCHEMIST [GENERAL]Through dedicated training and perseverance, you

are able to craft alchemical items even if you cant

cast spells.

Prerequisite: Craft (alchemy) 8 ranks.

Benefit: You do not need to be a spellcaster

to craft alchemical items with the Craft (alchemy)

skill.

Normal: You must be a spellcaster with

ranks in Craft (alchemy) to make alchemical items.

DESTROYER [GENERAL]You are exceptionally skilled at breaking things.

Prerequisite: Str 14.

Benefit: When making a Strength check

to break something with sudden force, you may

add 1.5 times your Strength bonus to the d20 roll.

You may also apply your size bonus (if any) to

breaking any object . Normal: When attempting to break

something with sudden force, you make a normal

Strength check. Your size bonus to such checks

applies only to breaking open doors.

DESTRUCTIVE PALM [GENERAL]Your quivering palm can tear almost anything

apart.

Prerequisite: Quivering palm class feature.

Benefit: Your quivering palm can affect

Constructs, Plants, and Undead. If these creatures

fail their Fortitude save they are instantly

destroyed by your quivering palms destructive

vibrations.

Normal: Your quivering palm cannot affect

Constructs, Plants, and Undead.

DIVERSE [GENERAL]You are able to simultaneously pursue multiple

career paths easier than most people.

Benefit: You take only a -10% XP penaltyfor each non-favored class not within one level of

your highest non-favored class.

Normal: You take a -20% XP penalty for

each non-favored class not within one level of

your highest non-favored class.

Special: You may not take this feat if you

have the Slow Learner flaw, and vice versa.

ENDURING ESSENCE [GENERAL]Even after your body is destroyed, your dark soul

continues to exist.

Prerequisite: Must be a vampire (vampire

spawn cannot take this feat).

Benefit: If you are destroyed, you rise as a

ghost in 1d4 days. As a ghost, you do not have any

of your vampiric powers; essentially, the vampire

template is removed, and the ghost template is added.

You do not have the rejuvenation special quality; the

next time you are destroyed will be your last.

ENTHRALLING GAZE [GENERAL]Your eyes naturally enrapture those who look into

them.

Prerequisite: Must be a vampire or vampire

spawn.

Benefit: Your Dominate special attack is a

gaze attack.Normal: A vampires Dominate ability can

only be used as a standard action; characters merely

looking at a vampire are not subject to it.

EPHEMERAL EXISTENCE [GENERAL]You have only a tenuous connection to the physical

world.

Prerequisite: Incorporeal subtype.

Benefit: You have a 66% chance to ignore

damage from a corporeal source, save for positive

and negative energy, force effects, and ghost touch

weapons.

Normal: Incorporeal creatures have a 50%

chance to ignore damage from a corporeal source, save

for positive and negative energy, force effects, and

ghost touch weapons.

ETERNAL ESSENCE[GENERAL]You are never truly destroyed.


fourteen or more hit dice/levels.Benefit: Even after being destroyed, you can

be revitalized. Your ashes must be gathered (this takes

a limited wish, wish, miracle, or similar effect if they

have been destroyed or thoroughly scattered), and

taken to an area under the effect of an unhallowspell,

and placed in a coffin. After a week, during which

time the ashes must not leave the coffin, nor the area

of the unhallowspell, you are restored (you have full

hit points, and all previous conditions are removed,


7/25

but you do not have any spells or spell slots prepared).

Any vampires that were under your control prior to

your destruction remain free after you are restored;

you must create new vampiric servitors.

Special: If you have the Enduring Essence

feat, your ghost must immediately possess the ashes

once they are placed inside the coffin in the area of the

unhallow spell, at which point you become quiescent

and unaware of your surroundings. If you do notpossess the ashes, or cease to possess them before a

full week has passed, the ritual to restore you to your

vampire status fails. If your ghost has been destroyed,

you must be placed in the coffin in the radius of the

spell for a full year to be restored.

If you were a good-aligned vampire, your

ashes must be subjected to a hallowspell instead of an

unhallowspell. If you were neutral, then either version

will work.

EXCEPTIONAL RESILIENCE

[FIGHTER, GENERAL]You shrug off wounds that would leave normal men

unconscious.

Benefit: You gain damage reduction against

nonlethal damage equal to your Constitution modifier

(to a minimum of nonlethal DR 1/-). This may reduce

nonlethal damage to 0, but not below 0.

Special: This feat applies only to nonlethal

damage taken in combat. Nonlethal damage from

environmental conditions, starvation, etc. is not

subject to this feat.

EXPERIENCED SWIMMER [GENERAL]You have trained yourself to swim in dangerous

conditions.

Prerequisite: Swim 5 ranks.

Benefit: Armor check penalties to swim

checks are not doubled for you.

When in fast-moving water, on a successful DC 15Swim check (or DC 15 Strength check) you take no

damage per round (or 1d3 points of lethal damage if

flowing over rocks and cascades). You must still make

a second check to avoid going under if you fail the

first.

Normal: Armor check penalties are doubled

for Swim checks.

When in fast-moving water, you take 1d3 points of

nonlethal damage in a round (1d6 points of lethal

damage if flowing over rocks and cascades) on a

successful DC 15 Swim or Strength check. On a failed

check, you must then make another check to avoid

going under.

EXTENDED LINK [GENERAL]Your connection to your bonded creature is broader

than normal.

Prerequisite: Empathic or telepathic link with

a bonded creature.

Benefit: You increase the distance of your

empathic or telepathic link to your bonded creature

by 1 mile. If you can share spells with your bonded

creature, they may now be an additional 5 feat away

to receive the benefit of the spell. They still lose the

benefit of a non-instantaneous spell if they move

further away.

Special: If your bonded creature has another

power that is limited to 1 mile (such as a familiarsspecial ability), that range is also increased by another

mile from this feat.

You may take this feat multiple times. Each

time, you may either add it to a different bonded

creature you have, or use it to further increase the

range of connection to a bonded creature already

under the effects of this feat; each such successive

application increases the range of the link by 1 mile,

and increases the range of sharing spells by 5 feet.

FALSIFIED AURA [GENERAL]You are adept at disguising the nature of the spells you

cast, weaving in threads of other magic to disguise this

spells aura.

Prerequisite: Ability to cast spells or use

spell-like abilities.

Benefit: When you take this feat the DC on all

Spellcraft checks made to identify spells you cast or

to identify (with detect magicor similar effects) the

school of magic of your spells and spell-like abilitiesincrease by +5. This requires no action on your part.

Special: The benefit of this feat also applies to

magic items that you create.

FATALITY [GENERAL]You have a stylized, exceptionally gory way of killing

your foes.

Prerequisite: Intimidate 5 ranks.


8/25

Benefit: When you kill a foe with a coup de grace, you

automatically make an Intimidate check to demoralize

all enemies who can see you. This Intimidate check

gains a +4 circumstance bonus.

Normal: A coup de grace does not affect

other enemies around you. An Intimidate check to

demoralize enemies takes a standard action, and only

affects enemies you threaten in melee combat and that

can see you.

FINAL BLOW [SPELLTOUCHED]Creatures you kill have a hard time coming back to

life.

Prerequisite: Exposure to circle of death,

finger of death,power word kill,orsymbol of death

spell.

Effect: Spells and spell-like abilities used to

restore life to creatures you killed in melee combat

must succeed on a caster level check (DC equals twiceyour total character level at the time you killed the

creature) to raise, resurrect, reincarnate, or otherwise

restore life to the dead creature. If the check fails, the

creature remains dead.

FOCUS OF FAITH [GENERAL]Your faith is so great that it doesnt require symbolic

representation.

Prerequisite: Ability to cast divine spells or to

use turn/rebuke attempts.

Benefit: When casting spells, you may ignore

the divine focus component. Additionally, you may

turn/rebuke undead (or other creatures, if you have

other turn/rebuke abilities) without a holy symbol.

Normal: You must have a holy symbol to act

as a divine focus for certain spells, and must present

your holy symbol to use turn/rebuke attempts.

Benefit: You gain a badger, camel, dire rat,

dog, riding dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light or heavy),

owl, pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), wolf,

crocodile, porpoise, Medium shark, or squid as an

animal companion. Your animal companion follows

all the rules for animal companions in the PHB. When

you gain this feat, choose a single character class you

possess; your animal companion advances as though

you were a druid equal to one-half the level of your

chosen class. The choice cannot be changed later.

Special: If your chosen class is high enough

level, you may choose an alternative animal

companion, as detailed in the PHB.

You may never have more than one animal

companion at a time.

GAIN FAMILIAR [GENERAL]You summon and bond with a creature, making it your

familiar.

Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane spells.

Benefit: You obtain a familiar in a process that

takes 24 hours and 100 gp of special materials. Your

familiar follows all the rules for familiars in the PHB,

and advances based on your arcane spellcasting class.

If you have more than one arcane spellcasting class,

choose one at the time you take this feat; your familiar

advances only according to your levels in that class.The choice cannot be changed later.

Special: If your arcane spellcasting class gives

bonus feats as class abilities, you may choose this feat

as a bonus feat.

You may never have more than one familiar at

a time.

GAIN FIENDISH SERVANT [GENERAL]The evil forces you serve grant you a wicked servant.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast divine spells of

6th-level or higher, non-good alignment.

Benefit: You gain a fiendish bat, cat, dire

rat, horse, pony, raven, or toad as a fiendish servant,

following all the rules for fiendish servants in the

DMG. When you gain this feat, choose a single divine

spellcasting class you possess; your fiendish servant

advances as though you were a blackguard equal to

the level of the chosen class. Once made, this choice

cannot be changed later.

Special: If you have a fiendish servant, you

may not also have a special mount. You may never have more than one fiendish

servant at a time.

GAIN SPECIAL MOUNT [GENERAL]Your benevolent patron grants you a mount to

faithfully serve you.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast divine spells of

3rd-level or higher, non-evil alignment.

Benefit: You gain a heavy warhorse, warpony,


9/25

riding dog, or Large shark as a special mount,

following all the rules for special mounts in the

PHB. When you gain this feat, choose a single divine

spellcasting class you possess; your special mount

advances as though you were a paladin equal to the

level of the chosen class. Once made, this choice

cannot be changed later. Summoning your special

mount is a spell-like ability, with a spell-level equal to

one-third the level of your chosen character class. Special: If you have a special mount, you may

not also have a fiendish servant.

You may never have more than one special

mount at a time.

GENEROUS SPELL [METAMAGIC]You may cast a spell that is normally reserved for

yourself on someone else instead.

Benefit: This feat may only be applied to

spells with a range of personal or have a target ofyou. The spells range changes to become creature

touched. If the creature is unwilling, you must make

a touch attack to cast the generous spell upon them.

Regardless of whether theyre willing or not, you

may only use a generous spell on a single creature. A

generous spell uses up a spell slot equal to the spells

original level.

The metapsionic version of this feat is called

Generous Power. It requires 0 additional power points,

and that you expend your psionic focus.

GENEROUS SPELL-LIKE ABILITY

[GENERAL]You may use a spell-like ability that is normally

reserved for yourself on someone else instead.

Prerequisite: Spell-like ability at caster level

2ndor higher.

Benefit: Choose one of your spell-like

abilities, subject to the restrictions below. You can use

that ability as a forceful spell-like ability three times

per day (or less, if the ability is normally useable onlyonce or twice per day).

The spell-like ability must be one that has a

range of personal or a target of you. The spell-like

abilitys range changes to become creature touched.

If the creature is unwilling, you must make a touch

attack to use the generous spell-like ability upon them.

Regardless of whether theyre willing or not, you

may only use a generous spell-like ability on a single

creature.

The creature can only select a spell-like ability

duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to

half its caster level (round down). For a summary, see

the table below.

The psionic version of this feat is called

Generous Psi-like Ability.

Special: This feat can be taken multiple times.

Each time it is taken, the creature can apply it to a

different one of its spell-like abilities.

GREATER UNARMED STRIKE

[FIGHTER, GENERAL]Your blows deal greater than normal damage.

Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike.

Benefit: Your unarmed strike damage increases

by one die size (e.g. from 1d2 to 1d3, 1d3 to 1d4, etc).

Special: This feat does not stack with any

other feat that improves damage dice to unarmed

strikes or natural weapons (such as Improved Natural

Attack).

HANDLE CREATURE [GENERAL]You are able to skillfully deal with even fantastic

beasts.

Prerequisite: Handle Animal 8 ranks.

Benefit: When making a Handle Animal check

on a non-animal creature, the DC increases by only 2.

Normal: You may make a Handle Animalcheck on a non-animal creature with an Intelligence

score of 1 or 2, but the DC of the check increases by 5

HIDEOUS VISAGE [GENERAL]You can make your face look hideously frightening.

Prerequisite: Must be a vampire or vampire

spawn.

Benefit: As a free action, you can make

your face appear monstrous. This grants you a +8 to


10/25

Intimidate checks and a +2 to save DCs against any

of your spells or abilities with the Fear descriptor, as

well as a -4 penalty to Diplomacy checks. The target

must be able to see your face for you to gain these

modifiers.

HIDDEN PRESENCE [GENERAL]Your unliving body makes no sounds, and has no scent.

Prerequisite:No Constitution score.

Benefit: Your body makes no natural sounds

(though you can speak if you normally could), giving

you a +10 bonus to Move Silently checks. Further, you

do not produce any scent, making you undetectable to

the Scent ability. You cannot be tracked by smell. You

cannot take this feat if you have an sound- or odor-

related ability that you cannot deactivate (such as a

ghasts stench ability).

HIDDEN WINGS [GENERAL]You are able to make your wings appear and disappear

at will.

Prerequisite: Must have wings.

Benefit: As a move action that provokes an

attack of opportunity, you may make your wings

disappear; making them reappear is a free action that

does not provoke an AoO. While gone, you cannot use

your wings to fly, make wings buffets, or otherwise use

them in any way. Making your wings reappear while

wearing items not able to accommodate them (such as

shirts, armor, etc.) destroys non-magical items; magicalitems are unharmed but fall to the ground in your space.

Special: Use of this feat is a supernatural

ability; in an antimagic field, your wings automatically

reappear.

IMMEDIATE SPELL [METAMAGIC]You can cast spells extremely quickly.

Benefit: You may cast a spell with this feat

applied as an immediate action. You can perform

another action, even casting another spell, in the sameround as you cast an immediate spell. You may cast

only one swift or immediate spell per round, including

spells with the Quicken Spell metamagic feat. A spell

whose casting time is longer than 1 full round cannot

be made immediate. You can use an immediate spell as

five levels higher than the spells actual level.

creature. Each creature receives a saving throw (DC

effect. You are able to give each creature orders, orchange its orders, telepathically as a free action each

round on your turn. You do not know what the subjects

of this ability are experiencing, and cannot receive

sensory input from them. This ability lasts as long as

few spells from your prohibited schools of magic.

Prerequisite: Must be a specialist wizard.

Benefit: You may prepare one spell per spelllevel from a prohibited school of magic. These spells

must be chosen for every spell level when you take this

feat, and cannot be changed later. Spells you choose

school of magic (e.g. you can use wands or scrolls of

them, you do not take a -5 penalty to Spellcraft checks

regarding those spells, etc).

spellcasters in your game, they can also select this feat.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, caster

level 15th.

Benefit: When creating your phylactery, you

may make it as any other magic item, in addition to

same type, or a standard phylactery (40 hp, hardness

20, Break DC 40), whichever is higher. Its AC is

normal for an item of its type and size. You must meet

any other prerequisites needed to craft the item (e.g.

you would need the Forge Ring feat to craft a ring of

invisibility phylactery).

skullphylactery. Such an item would cost 142,000 gp

and 5,680 XP to create, requiring the spells animate

objects,finger of death, andfly, and would have AC

16, hp 40, hardness 20, and a Break DC of 40. A +5

and 12,800 XP to create, requiring the spells circle of

deathand keen edge, and would have AC 4 (Small-size

object), hp 55, hardness 20, and a Break DC of 40.Normal: A phylactery may not have magic item

properties or be part of another magic item.

Special: You may only make a phylactery out

of permanent magical items. Potions, scrolls, wands,

staffs, and impermanent wondrous items cannot be

made as a phylactery.

You must still craft the phylactery yourself,

though others can aid you with specific prerequisite

spells as normal.

You may add further magical properties to thephylactery item later, as with a normal magic item.

However, if youve already created a phylactery without

this feat, you may not add magic item properties to it.

the walking dead.

Prerequisite: Divine Vengeance.

Benefit: You can spend one of your turn undead

attempts as a standard action that does not provoke an

attack of opportunity to imbue your next melee attackwith the disruptionmagic weapon property, even if it is

by the black arts.

a spell or effect to create (but not summon or call)

undead, you may spend a turn attempt as an immediate

action to try to negate it if you are not flat-footed.

Make an opposed caster level check (classes you

possess that grant the ability to turn undead stack forpurposes of this check; if the opposed effect doesnt

rely on caster level, its check is d20 + the users

hit dice). If your result equals or exceeds the other

persons check, the undead are not created, otherwise

the undead are created normally.

If the spell or effect creating the undead has

any other effects, they are unaffected by use of this

feat.

to life.

Prerequisite: Ability to rebuke undead.

Benefit: If someone within 60 ft. of you uses

a spell or effect to raise, resurrect, reincarnate, or

otherwise try to restore life to someone, you may

caster level check (classes you possess that grant the

ability to rebuke undead stack for purposes of this

check; if the opposed effect doesnt rely on casterlevel, its check is d20 + the users hit dice). If your

result equals or exceeds the other persons check, the

people they attempted to bring back remain deceased.

This does not apply to someone healing a person with

the Unyielding Soul feat.

If the spell or effect bringing back the dead has

any other effects, they are unaffected by use of this

feat.


14/25

REPULSING SPELL [METAMAGIC]Your spells strike with extreme force, pushing your

enemies away.

Benefit: This feat can only be applied to damage-

dealing spells that target individual creature(s). When hit

by a forceful spell, the target must make a Reflex save (in

addition to any other saves it must make), or be pushed 5

feet away from you for every 10 points of damage it took.

This movement incurs attacks of opportunity as normal

(but not from you). A repulsing spell takes up a spell slot

three levels higher than the spells actual level.


Repulsing Power. It requires 4 additional power points,


Special: If the target is larger or smaller than

Medium, the damage necessary to knock it back increases

or decreases by 2 for each difference in size category. For

extreme force.

Prerequisite: Spell-like ability at caster level 8thor

by a repulsing spell-like ability, the target must make

a Reflex save (in addition to any other saves it must

make), or be pushed 5 feet away from you for every 10

points of damage it took. This movement incurs attacks

of opportunity as normal (but not from you). If the target

is larger or smaller than Medium, the damage necessary

to knock it back increases or decreases by 2 for each

difference in size category.The creature can only select a spell-like ability

duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to half its

caster level (round down) -3. For a summary, see the table

RESILIENT SPELL [METAMAGIC]Your spell is more difficult to negate.

Benefit: A resilient spell is very hard to dispel,

counter, or disjoin. The resilient spell gains a +5 bonus

to its DC against dispel checks (including dispelling

used as a counterspell). Against counterspelling

and disjunction effects, a resilient spell receives anopposed caster level check to avoid being countered or

disjoined (this check does not gain the aforementioned

+5 bonus). A spell that fails to counterspell a resilient

spell is negated as per normal for a counterspell,

though the resilient spell takes effect normally. A

resilient spell takes up a spell slot one level higher

than the spells actual level.


Resilient Power. It requires 1 additional power point,


RESILIENT SPELL-LIKE ABILITY

[GENERAL]Your spell-like ability is more difficult to negate.

per day (or less, if the ability is normally useable only

once or twice per day).

to its DC against dispel checks. Against disjunctioneffects, a resilient spell receives a dispel check to

avoid being disjoined (this dispel check does not gain

RESTORATIVE ATTRIBUTE

[GENERAL]

There is a part of you that cannot be permanentlyinjured.

score.

RETAINED KNOWLEDGE [GENERAL]Even after abandoning an occupation, you still

costs of creation. You may still only have one phylactery

at a time.

while its body still exists may never create another

phylactery.

Special: Whether or not they have this feat, a lich

(or demilich) always knows instantly when its phylactery

is destroyed.

SCORNED BY NATURE [GENERAL]The natural world ignores you.

total speed (round down) as a move action. You still

provoke attacks of opportunity for crawling.

Soft cover grants you a +2 bonus on Reflex saves

against attacks that originate or burst out from a point

on the other side of the cover from you. Note that spread

effects can extend around corners and thus negate this

cover bonus.

Normal: When squeezing through a space at

least half as wide as you, you take a -4 penalty to attack

rolls and AC.

When crawling, you may only move 5 feet as amove action that provokes an attack of opportunity.

SUPERIOR SOUL GEM [EPIC, GENERAL]Your bond with your soul gems is as strong as with your

phylactery.

Prerequisite:Must be a demilich.

Benefit: You need not incorporate all eight of yoursoul gems directly into your physical form. Instead, you

need only incorporate two, and may store the rest elsewhere

(though they can be incorporated into your body if you so

choose). You may also use your Phylactery Transference

power with any of your non-incorporated soul gems, though

only with one soul gem (or your phylactery) at a time.

deepens.

creature.

with your bonded creature, replacing your empathic

link. The two of you can communicate telepathically

you have the same connection to an item or place that

your bonded creature does.

bonded creature that you have.

TELEPATHIC TAP [PSIONIC]

conversation of anyone within 60 ft. of you as a

supernatural ability for 1 round per manifester level.

You hear everything in the telepathic conversation,

even from people not within 60 ft. of you; so long

as at least one member of the conversation remains

within range, you hear everyone involved. This is

not considered a mind-affecting ability, nor are youconsidered to be in mental contact with anyone so

conversing; you are merely tapping into the channel

by which their thoughts are communicating. Language

is not a barrier to you understanding what is being

said, unless the type of telepathic contact being

used states it is language-dependant (most forms

of telepathy are not). You can only hear telepathy

with this feat, you can not participate in telepathic

conversations with it. Creatures whose thoughts

are protected somehow (such as by a ring of mindshieldingor mind blank) are not subject to this feat,

but can still be heard if you use this feat on someone

else in their telepathic network.

TENACIOUS ANIMATING FORCE

[GENERAL]Your animating force is not so easily destroyed.

and become a lich at 8thlevel. You must still be able to

meet all of the other requirements for becoming a lich.

Special:If you have more than one

spellcasting class, this feat applies only to thespellcasting-based ability score from one of them,

chosen at the time this feat is taken. Once chosen, the

being either light weapons or one-handed weapons,

whichever is more beneficial, for special combat

a one-handed weapon) and still use an unarmed strike

against foes grappling you (as a light weapon).

You are not bound to a coffin, nor to your native soil.Prerequisite: Must be a vampire or vampire

spawn.

with soil from its homeland in it.


18/25

UNBOUND ESSENCE [GENERAL]You may pass through any solid object, no matter how large.

damage to their Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution

scores.

UNNATURAL AURA [GENERAL]Your very presence unnerves creatures of the natural

world.


Benefit: Animals, whether wild or

domesticated, can sense your unnatural aura at a

distance of 30 feet. They do not willingly approach

nearer than that and panic if forced to do so; they

remain panicked as long as they are within that range.

This aura is a supernatural ability. You may suppressor resume this aura as a free action on your turn.

Special: If you already have this ability, you

may not take this feat.

UNUSUAL STYLE [GENERAL]You have a different way of accomplishing things than

most people.

Prerequisite: Skill Focus.

Benefit: Choose one skill that you have

selected Skill Focus for. You may change the ability

score associated with that skill to another ability score.

Skills associated with physical ability scores (Strength

Dexterity, and Constitution) can only be changed to

other physical ability scores, and skills associated

with mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, and

Charisma) can only be changed to other mental ability

scores. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.

Special: You may take this feat more than

once. Each time you take it, it applies to a different

skill that you have taken Skill Focus for.

UNYIELDING SOUL [GENERAL]When you die, your soul does not immediately leave

your body.

Prerequisite: Must have a Constitution score.

Benefit: When you reach -10 hit points or less

(or 0 Constitution), your soul remains in your dead

body for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma

modifier (minimum 1 round). During this time, you

can be brought back to life by any effect that brings


19/25

your hit point total back up to -9 or higher (or raises

your Constitution score to 1 or higher), and such

effects automatically stabilize you. You do not suffer

any penalties for having died and come back (such

as level loss), since your soul did not have to journey

back to your body. You cannot refuse to come back to

life while your soul remains in your body, and effects

that killed you before are not automatically undone

when you are brought back (e.g. poison remains, andmight kill you again on subsequent rounds).

Special: Death spells and effects are

considered to instantly reduce your hit point total to -

10. You do not benefit from this feat if killed by a spell

or effect that does not leave a body behind (such as

disintegrate).

UTILIZE ANOTHERS MAGIC

[GENERAL]

You may attempt to cast a spell from someone elsesknowledge.

Prerequisite: Spellcraft 1 ranks, caster level

1st.

Benefit: You may cast spells someone else

knows or has prepared that are on your spell list. To

do so, you must spend a full round being in physical

contact with that person, who must be willing

(unconscious characters are automatically considered

willing). On your turn next round, make a Spellcraft

check as a free action that does not provoke an

attack of opportunity (DC 15 + highest level of spell

prepared/known). If this check fails, you may try

again after another full round of physical contact. If

the check succeeds, you are aware of all of their spells

prepared or spells known.

You can then pick a spell of theirs that you

want to cast (which must be on your spell list) and

make a second Spellcraft check (also a free action

that does not provoke an AoO) with a DC of 15 + the

level of the spell you want to cast (do not apply level

increases due to metamagic feats). If this succeeds,you may then immediately cast the spell; if this check

fails, you must start over from the beginning.

To cast the spell, you must sacrifice a spell

slot or prepared spell of equal or higher level than the

spell youre casting. You must supply any material

components and foci yourself. If the spell you select

has been prepared with a metamagic feat, you may not

cast it with that feat, but need only sacrifice a spell slot

or prepared spell of the spells base level. You may

apply any metamagic feat you know to the spell, but

doing so requires losing a spell slot or prepared spell

of the spells adjusted level (and increases the casting

time, if applicable).

Special: A character may choose this feat in

place of a wizard bonus feat.

VIRULENT VAMPIRISM [GENERAL]New undead that you create arise immediately.


the Create Spawn ability.

Benefit: When another creature is subject

to your Create Spawn ability, they dont need to be

buried, and rise 1d4 rounds afterward.

Normal:Newly-created vampires arise 1d4

days after burial.

WEAPON INSTRUCTION

[FIGHTER, GENERAL]

You were taught basic principles of weapon use thatapply to all forms of fighting.

Benefit: When using a weapon which you

are not proficient with, the non-proficiency penalty is

reduced by 1.

FLAWS

SIDEBAR Flaws are an optional rule that work like

anti-feats, granting a character a permanent penalty in

some way. A character may normally take up to two

flaws at character creation, gaining a feat in return

for each flaw taken. Undead-specific flaws function

much the same way, save that instead of being taken

at character creation, they are taken when a character

first becomes undead. A total of two undead-specific

flaws may be taken when a character becomes

undead (in addition to any flaws a character may have

already possessed before). If the character is laterbrought back to life, these flaws are lost, as are the

corresponding feats (with the in-game explanation that

the feat loss represents knowledge that was lost in the

transition from undeath to life).

BIRTH DEFECT: ONE-ARMEDYou were born with only one arm.

Effect: You take a -4 penalty to all Climb,

Disguise, Escape Artist, Use Rope, and Swim checks.


20/25

It takes you twice as long to don or remove armor. You

cannot undertake actions that require two arms, such

as fighting with a two-handed weapon, etc.

Special: Because you were born with only

one arm, spells and effects such as regeneratecannot

restore your missing one. If a spell or effect changes

your shape, your new form is missing a corresponding

limb.

DEATHLYYou easily fall into deaths clutches.

Effect: You fall unconscious when brought

to 0 hit points. When at -1 hit points or below, you

cannot be stabilized, automatically losing 1 hit point

per round until brought back to 0 hit points or above.

DOTAGEYou became an adventurer later in life.

Effect: You begin play one age category olderthan normal (usually this will be middle age).

ENERGY VULNERABILITYYou are particularly weak against one type of energy.

Effect: Choose one of the following energy

types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. When damaged by

the chosen energy type, you are dealt an additional hit

point of damage per die.

ENFEEBLED DRAININGYou cannot permanently drain vitality from livingcreatures.

Prerequisites: Undead type, must have a

special ability that causes energy drain or ability drain.

Effect:Negative levels from your energy drain

special attack are automatically removed after twenty-

four hours. Special attacks that you possess that would

normally cause ability drain now cause ability damage

instead.

ISOLATED EXISTENCEYou cannot create more of your kind.

Prerequisites: Undead type, must have the

create spawn (or a similar) special ability.

Effect: You do not have the create spawn

special ability, or any similar ability that allows you

to naturally create undead from creatures that you kill.

You may still create undead with spells and spell-like

abilities normally.

NEGATIVE SOULYou feel colder than ice to the touch.


Effect: Living creatures who touch you

perceive you as feeling colder than ice. This manifests

even through items on your person. Living creatures

who touch you have their attitude towards you drop

by one rank (e.g. from friendly to indifferent), and

may immediately make a DC 15 Knowledge (religion)

check to recognize you as being undead. This remains

in effect even if you change form (unless doing so

changes your type).

SHADOWLESSYou have no shadow.

Prerequisite: Undead type, must not have the

Incorporeal subtype.

Effect: You never have a shadow (nor do

items on your person), no matter what the lightingconditions around you are. In an area of bright

illumination, this can be noticed with a DC 10 Spot

check. In an area of shadowy illumination, the DC

for this check rises to 30. In areas of darkness, it is

impossible to tell that you do not have a shadow (even

with darkvision). You remain without a shadow even if

you change form (unless doing so changes your type).

SLOW LEARNERIt takes you longer than other people to improve.

Effect: When gaining experience points, you

take a -10% penalty to the total. This stacks with any

other experience point penalties you may have, such

as from multiclassing.

STAGNANT LIFE FORCEYour life energy cannot be easily replenished with

magic.

Effect: Magical healing only restores half as

many hit points as normal.

SUNLIGHT POWERLESSNESSThe light of the sun robs you of your might.

Prerequisite: Undead type, Incorporeal

subtype

Effect: In natural sunlight (not merely a

daylightspell), you may only take a single standard or

move action each round.


21/25

UNCHANGING FORMYour undead body does not naturally repair itself.

Prerequisites: Undead type, must have an

Intelligence score, must not have fast healing.

Effect: You do not naturally regain hit

points over time (though special qualities such as

rejuvenation still work normally).

Normal: Undead creatures with an Intelligence

score regain hit points naturally at the same rate that

living characters do.

UNFETTERED SOULYour spirit has only a tenuous connection to your

body.

Effect: You cannot be raised, resurrected, or

reincarnated. It takes a wish or miracle to bring you

back to life.

WEAK SPELL RESISTANCEYour ability to resist magic is weaker than others of

your kind.

Prerequisite: Must naturally have spell

resistance.

Effect: Your spell resistance is permanently

lowered by 5.

the appropriate material.

If you do not have a free hand when you cast this

around your neck. This spell cannot call a specific holy

symbol; rather, a servant of your deity automatically

answers the spell, sending a generic holy symbol to

you.

NEW RULES

SUB-SCHOOL SPECIALIZATION

Some wizards choose to focus on a specific school of

magic, sacrificing a degree of versatility for greater

power in a chosen area. Others take this dedication

in a different direction. Instead of specializing in an

entire school of magic, they focus upon only a single

portion of it. By focusing upon only a certain part

of their chosen school, these specialists pay less of

a price in return for diminished gains. Such sub-

specialists see themselves as gaining the best of both

worlds between true specialists and generalist wizards.

A sub-specialist functions similarly to a specialist

wizard: she may prepare an additional spell of her

sub-school per spell level each day (though narrower

sub-schools might not have spells at every level) She

also gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks to learn

spells of her chosen sub-school. When taking her firstwizard level, the character must decide if she wants

to become a sub-specialist or not, and once made, this

choice cannot be changed. A character cannot both

specialize and sub-specialize. A sub-specialist must

give up a single school of magic, which may not be

the Divination or Universal schools; this restriction

functions exactly as it does for specialist wizards. A

sub-specialist who chooses Scrying only needs to give

up another sub-school of magic.

Calling: Calling is a subset of the Conjuration school.

A calling specialist is known as a caller.

Charm: Charm is a subset of the Enchantment school.

A charm specialist is known as a charmer.

Compulsion: Compulsion is a subset of the

Enchantment school. A compulsion specialist is known

as a compulsor.

Creation: Creation is a subset of the Conjuration

school. A creation specialist is known as a crafter.

Figment: Figment is a subset of the Illusion school. A

figment specialist is known as a figmatist.

Glamer: Glamer is a subset of the Illusion school. A

glamer specialist is known as a glamora.

Healing: Healing is a subset of the Conjuration school.

A healing specialist is known as a healer.

Pattern: Pattern is a subset of the Illusion school. A

Phantasm: Phantasm is a subset of the Illusion school.

A phantasm specialist is known as a fantast.

Scrying: Scrying is a subset of the Divination school.

A scrying specialist is known as a scryer. Scryer sub-specialists need only give up another sub-school of

magic, though they may choose to give up an entire

school instead.

Shadow: Shadow is a subset of the Illusion school. A

shadow specialist is known as an umbralist.

Summoning: Summoning is a subset of the

Conjuration school. A summoning specialist is known

as a summoner.

Teleportation: Teleportation is a subset of the

Conjuration school. A teleportation specialist is known

as a teleporter.

SIDEBAR Rather than specializing in a particular

school or sub-school of magic, its possible for a

wizard to specialize in a particular spell descriptor,

such as evil, fire, or mind-affecting. These descriptor

specialist wizards gain the same bonuses as other

specialists (they may prepare one extra spell of

the chosen descriptor at each spell level, and gain

a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks to learn spells of

that descriptor), and in exchange must give up a

single other descriptor of spells, forsaking spells of

that descriptor forever. At the GMs option, certain

descriptors will automatically determine which

descriptor is thusly forsaken. Specializing in Good

spells, for example, may require that Evil spells begiven up.

Also at the GMs option, this type of

specialization may be open to other kinds of

spellcasters besides wizards. Bear in mind that
