Prerequisites: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Base Attack Bonus +12 or better.

Benefit: Choose one type of weapon, such as greataxe, for which you have already selected the Greater Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Specialization feats. You gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with this weapon for each 4 points of Base Attack Bonus you have (therefore, a character with a Base Attack Bonus of +12 receives a +3 to damage).

Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you must choose a different weapon with which you have weapon focus.

ACROBATIC CHARGEPrerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +12, Skill Level

12, Tumble Rank: Mastered, Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse.

Benefit: You can charge in situations where others cannot. You may charge over difficult terrain that normally slows movement. Depending on the circumstance, You may still need to make appropriate checks to successfully move over the terrain.

AGILE RIPOSTE You are able to exploit your enemy’s mistakes in combat.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Combat Reflexes, Dex 13.Benefit: Once per round for each two points of

base attack bonus you have, if your dodge target makes a melee attack or melee touch attack against you and misses, you may make an attack of opportunity with a light melee or monk weapon against that opponent. Resolve and apply the effects from both attacks simultaneously.

ALIGNED KI STRIKEYour unarmed attacks are aligned with ki.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +10, Flurry of Blows, Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki Strike

Benefit: Choose an Alignment Component (Good, Evil, Lawful, Chaotic), your unarmed attacks are also treated as weapons of that type for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction.

Special: You can only purchase this feat once. Once you have chosen an alignment component, that choice cannot be changed.

ARM OF THE MAULER

You rely on physically tearing your opponent apart; you can pull your opponent in directions they didn’t know existed.

Prerequisites: Improved Grapple, Improved Unarmed Strike, Power Attack, Str 15, Con 15.

Benefit: Whenever you succeed at a grapple check, your opponent suffers a –1 penalty to grapple checks for a number of rounds equal to your constitution bonus, and you gain a +1 to your grapple modifier for a number of rounds equal to your constitution bonus. These penalties and bonuses are cumulative. They also stack, but the total bonus you gain from this feat can’t exceed your Constitution modifier.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (HEAVY)Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (light), Armor

Proficiency (medium). Benefit: See Armor Proficiency (light). Normal: See Armor Proficiency (light).

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (LIGHT)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, Sleight of Hand, 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.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (MEDIUM)Prerequisite: Armor Proficiency (light). Benefit: See Armor Proficiency (light). Normal: See Armor Proficiency (light).

ARMOR FOCUSYou’re better at using a particular type of armor. Perhaps you’re familiar with the idiosyncrasies of your armor, or perhaps you’ve learned how to move in it more adeptly to avoid blows.

Benefit: Select one type of armor with which you are proficient. While wearing this type of armor, you gain an additional +2 dodge bonus to your AC.

Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Each time, you must select a different type of armor with which you are proficient.

BARDIC KNOWLEDGEYou have a smattering of somewhat useful knowledge.Prerequisites: Int 13

Benefit: You may make a special bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to your skill level + your Intelligence modifier to see whether you know some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places. (If you have a rank in Knowledge (history) higher than Trained, you gains a +2 bonus on this check.) A successful bardic knowledge check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. You may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.

DC Type of Knowledge 10 Common, known by at least a substantial

minority of the local population. 20 Uncommon but available, known by only a few

people legends. 25 Obscure, known by few, hard to come by. 30 Extremely obscure, known by very few,

possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don’t understand the significance of the knowledge.

BERSERKER RAGEYou can will yourself into fits of berserker fury.

Benefit: Once per day, you can fly into a frothing rage.. While in a rage, you temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but you take a -2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases your hit points by 2 points per hit die, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when your Constitution score drops back to normal. (These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are.) While raging, you cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require patience or concentration, nor can you cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function. You can use any feat you have except Combat Expertise, item creation feats, and metamagic feats. A fit of rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your (newly improved) Constitution modifier. You may prematurely end your rage at any time. At the end of the rage, you lose the rage modifiers and restrictions and become fatigued (-2 penalty to Strength, -2 penalty to Dexterity, can’t charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter.

You can fly into a rage only once per encounter. Entering a rage takes no time itself, but a you can do

it only during your action, not in response to someone else’s action.

BLIND-FIGHTBenefit: 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. 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. 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.

Normal: Regular attack roll modifiers for invisible attackers trying to hit you apply, and you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC. The speed reduction for darkness and poor visibility also applies.

BLINDING ATTACK The way you use your weapon is almost art – it can defeat an opponent before you’re even done drawing it.

Prerequisite: Base Attack Bonus +9, Quick Draw.Benefit: Once per day per each three points of base

attack bonus you have, as you draw your weapon, you may make a blinding attack that targets a single opponent within thirty feet of you as a standard action. The target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Dexterity modifier). If they fail, they are dazed for a round, and dazzled for 1d6 rounds thereafter.

BLOODED ASSAULTYou’re willing to sacrifice anything to drive home damage – even your own life. Your attacks are made with such ferocity that they exhaust and injure you, sapping your ability to take hits.

Prerequisites: Improved Toughness, Power Attack, Base Attack +6, Con 15.

Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for the round, you may sacrifice a number of hit points no greater than your Base Attack Bonus. Until the beginning of your next turn, whenever you make a melee attack, for each two hit points sacrificed this way, you gain a +1 bonus to hit and damage.

BODILY THROW You can throw your opponents.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Grapple, Str 15.

Benefit: You may use an attack to throw your opponent. You must have at least one hand free to

use this feat, and you cannot throw an opponent who is a more than one size category larger than you. You must succeed at a normal unarmed attack roll, and must make a successful grapple check. If you succeed, you pick up and throw your opponent. You may choose where in your threatened area your opponent lands. When your opponent lands, they are prone. Other people who threaten your opponent may make attacks of opportunity if the foe’s movement provokes it.

CANNY DEFENSE Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +6, Skill Level

5, Tumble Rank: Trained, Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse.

Benefit: When not wearing armor or using a shield, you add 1 point of Intelligence bonus (if any) to your Dexterity bonus to defense while wielding a melee weapon. If you are caught flat-footed or otherwise denied your Dexterity bonus, you also lose this bonus. For every two points of base attack bonus above +6, the Intelligence Bonus to Defense increase by +1 to a maximum of your full Intelligence Bonus.

CAPRICIOUS STEPYou have learned the secret of large steps

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +10, Skill Level 16, Concentration Rank: Mastered, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack.

Benefit: You can take an extra 5-foot step in any round when you don’t perform any other movement (except for the first 5-foot step). Like the first, the second 5-foot step does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You can take the extra 5-foot step immediately after taking the first, or wait until the end of your other actions for the round. In all other ways, the rules for taking a 5-foot step apply.

CLEAR SHOT You only rarely miss. While even the best are known to miss one time in twenty, you are skilled enough that such odds are more akin to one time in four hundred.

Prerequisites: Precise Shot, Far Shot, Base Attack Bonus +11.

Benefit: Once a day, you may reroll a ranged attack roll. You may choose to make this reroll after determining whether or not you have successfully hit your opponent’s Armor Class.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time it is taken, you may reroll an attack roll an additional two times a day.

CLEAVE 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.

COMBAT ARCHERYSome archers have the luxury of making their shots unmolested. Some archers aren’t as good as you are.

Prerequisites: Evading Shot, Base Attack Bonus +9.

Benefit: You do not incur any attacks of opportunity for using a ranged weapon.

COMBAT EXPERTISEYou 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.

COMBAT REFLEXESYou 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 character 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 character to use her opportunist ability more than once per round.

CRIPPLING STRIKEYou can sneak attack opponents with such precision that your blows weaken and hamper them.

Prerequisites: Sneak Attack 6d6Benefit: An opponent damaged by one of your

sneak attacks also takes 2 points of Strength damage. Ability points lost to damage return on their own at the rate of 1 point per day for each damaged ability.

CRUSHING FISTYour unarmed blows, courtesy of practice and training, are even more devastating than they were before.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.

Benefit: When you score a critical hit on an opponent with an unarmed strike, you deal triple damage.

Normal: An unarmed strike critical hit deals double damage.

DEFENSIVE STANCEWhen you adopt a defensive stance, you gains phenomenal strength and durability, but you cannot move from the spot you are defending.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus: +7, Dodge, Endurance, Toughness.

Benefit: Once per day, you can adopt a defensive stance. When you adopt a defensive stance you gain +2 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, a +2 resistance bonus on all saves, and a +4 dodge bonus to defense. The increase in Constitution increases your hit points by 2 points per hit die, but these hit points go away at the end of the defensive stance when the Constitution score drops back 4 points. These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are. While in a defensive stance, you cannot use skills or abilities that would require you to shift your position. A defensive stance lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your (newly improved) Constitution modifier. You may end this defensive stance voluntarily prior to this limit.

At the end of the defensive stance, you are winded and take a -2 penalty to Strength for the duration of that encounter. Using the defensive stance takes no time itself, but a defender can only do so during his action.

DANCING BLADE STYLEYour combat style is based around light weapons moving quickly, serving on both an aggressive offense and an artful defense – it’s hard for

opponents to anticipate your attacks, and harder still for your opponents to pierce the wall of whirling steel.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Mobility, Improved Feint, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Defense, Base Attack Bonus +12, Dex 19, Wis 13.

Benefit: When wielding a pair of matched light blades (shortswords or daggers) and wearing no armor, you gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC for each 4 points of Base Attack Bonus you have.

Your unpredictable and quick-moving combat style makes it difficult for opponents to accurately predict how you’re going to strike, and makes it easier for you to catch them off guard. Opponents you face have their dodge bonus to Armor Class reduced by 1 for each 4 points of Base Attack Bonus you have. If they have no dodge bonus to Armor Class, instead their Dexterity modifier (if positive) to Armor Class is reduced.

DEATH ATTACKThrough observation, you can discern the perfect way to kill someone.

Prerequisites: Sneak Attack 4d6, Skill Level 8, Disguise Rank: Trained, Hide Rank: Skilled, Move Silently Ranks: Skilled.

Benefit: If you study your victim for 3 rounds and then make a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (your choice). While studying the victim, you can undertake other actions so long as your attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect you or recognize you as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your hit dice + your Int modifier) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6+Int rounds. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once you have completed the 3 rounds of study, you must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds.

If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if you do not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before you can attempt another death attack.

DEEP RESERVESYou have hidden reserves of energy and strength.

Benefit: You can heal yourself a number of hit points of damage equal to twice you current hit dice each day, and you can spread this healing out among several uses.

DEFENSIVE ROLLYou can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from it than you otherwise would.

Prerequisites: Skill Level 12, Base Reflex Save +7, Dex 17

Benefit: Once per day, when you would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), the you can attempt to roll with the damage. To use this ability, you must attempt a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, you take only half damage from the blow; if it fails, you take full damage. You must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute your defensive roll—if you are denied your Dexterity bonus to Defense, you can’t use this ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.

Special: You can purchase this feat more than once. Each time you purchase this feat, you can use your defensive roll ability one additional time per day.

DEFLECT ARROWS 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 can’t be deflected.

DEFENSIVE GENIUSYour mental acumen defends you even when your body does not.

Prerequisites: 2 Hit Dice, Base Will Save +3, Int, Wis or Cha 13

Benefit: When unarmored and unencumbered, you add your Charisma, Intelligence or Wisdom (choose one) bonus to your defense.

These bonuses to Defense apply even against touch attacks or when you are flat-footed. You lose these bonuses when you are immobilized or helpless, when you wear any armor, when you carry a shield, or when you carry a medium or heavy load.

Special: You can only purchase this feat once. Once you have chosen which mental stat you add to your defense, that choice cannot be changed.

DICTATING STRIKEBy acting first, you’re able to set the pace and flow of battle. Your combat style punishes those who are less swift to react than yourself.

Prerequisites: Improved Initiative, Base Attack Bonus +1.

Benefit: You gain a +2 competence bonus to attack rolls made against opponents with an initiative total at least 1 lower than your own.

DIEHARD 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,

DISARMING EXPERTISE There is disarming, and there is disarming with style. Disarming your foe as punctuation to striking them anyway fits that category – as does leaving them bereft of their arms and hitting them with it.

Prerequisites: Improved Disarm, Base Attack Bonus +6.

Benefit: Whenever you use an attack to successfully disarm an opponent, you may make an immediate attack against that foe at the same attack bonus. You may use the weapon with which you made the disarm attempt, or, if you had an off-hand free when you made the disarm and chose to catch the disarmed weapon, you may make the attack with your foe’s (former) weapon.

DODGE 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 stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.

ELABORATE PARRYPrerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +11, Skill Level

12, Tumble Rank: Trained, Canny Defense, Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse.

Benefit: If you choose to fight defensively or use total defense in melee combat, you gains an additional +1 dodge bonus to defense for every 4 points of base attack bonus you have.

ENDURANCE 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, Constitution checks made to continue running, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march, Constitution checks made to hold your breath, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst, Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments, and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation. Also, you may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.

5, Tumble Rank: Trained, Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse.

Benefit: When wearing no armor and not using a shield, you gain an additional +4 bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of a threatened square.

EVASIONYou are a slippery individual.

Prerequisites: Base Reflex Save +3Benefit: If you make a successful Reflex saving

throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, you instead take no damage. Evasion can be used only if you are wearing light armor or no armor. If you are helpless, you do not gain the benefit of evasion.

EVASIVE STYLEYour form of combat involves a lot of getting out of the way – moving so you’re harder to hit, or maybe to just exploit an opponent’s openings. Whatever the reason, you’re hard to hit, and it gets harder the further away you are.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Base Attack Bonus +1, Dex 13.

Benefit: You receive a +2 dodge bonus to your AC against ranged attacks and attacks from reach weapons.

EXTRA DEFENSIVE STANCEYou can use your defensive stance more times per day.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus: +7, Defensive Stance, Dodge, Endurance, Toughness.

Benefit: You gain one extra use of your defensive stance per day.

Special: You can select this feat more than once.

FALLING PETAL STYLE Your style is based around the tenet that nothing perfect can be permanent. Therefore, the perfect strike must exist for only the barest of instants, and then be gone. This style relies on drawing your weapon, striking, and sheathing your weapon in one single motion.

Prerequisites: Combat Reflexes, Improved initiative, Quick Draw, Weapon Focus (Katana), Base Attack Bonus 8+.

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to initiative checks. You are considered to threaten an area, even with your weapon sheathed, provided it is on hand for you to draw. You may draw your katana at any time, even if it’s not your turn, as an immediate action.

You may draw your katana, attack an opponent with it, and sheathe the weapon again as a standard action.

FAR SHOTYou 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.

FAST MOVEMENT You are fleet of foot.

Benefit: You gain a +10 foot enhancement bonus to your speed. If you are wearing armor heavier than light armor or carrying a medium or heavy load you lose this extra speed.

Special: You can purchase this feat up to six times. Each time you purchase this feat, the prerequisites increase by 2.

FIND THE FLAW No armor is perfect. Manmade armor is renowned for having weak points at the joints, and even the tough, stony hides of trolls and the thick, rubbery protections of beholders has some point where it tears, breaks, or shatters – and you have the training or the talent to find these places.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +3, Wis 11.Benefit: You gain a +2 to hit against an opponent

who has any Armor or Natural Armor bonus to his or her Armor Class. This bonus cannot exceed your opponent’s combined Armor and Natural Armor bonus to Armor Class.

If you attack an opponent and miss, you are able to discern by how much your attack roll failed.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

FLANKER You can flank enemies from seemingly impossible angles.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +7, Skill Level 12, Concentration Rank: Skilled, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack.

Benefit: You can designate any adjacent square as the square from which flanking against an ally is determined (including the square where you stand, as normal). You can designate the square at the beginning of your turn or at any time during your turn. The designated square remains your effective square for flanking until you are no longer adjacent to it or until you choose a different square (at the start of one of your turns). You can even choose a square that is impassable or occupied.

FLURRY OF BLOWSYou have studied some form of martial art.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed StrikeBenefit: When unarmored, you may strike with a

flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, you may make one extra attack in a round at your highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity you might make before your next action. You must use a full attack action to strike with a flurry of blows.

When using flurry of blows, a you may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). You may attack with unarmed strikes and those special weapons interchangeably as desired. When using weapons as part of a flurry of blows, you apply your Strength bonus (not Str bonus × 1½ or ×½) to your damage rolls for all successful attacks, whether you wield a weapon in one or both hands. You can’t use any weapon other than the listed special weapons as part of a flurry of blows.

In the case of the quarterstaff, each end counts as a separate weapon for the purpose of using the flurry of blows ability. Even though the quarterstaff requires two hands to use, you may still intersperse unarmed strikes with quarterstaff strikes, assuming that you have enough attacks in her flurry of blows routine to do so.

FULL MOUNTED ATTACK You are able to land more telling blows, more often, despite your mount’s movement in combat.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Mounted Combat, Ride-By attack, Base Attack Bonus +12, Skill Level 10, Ride Rank: Mastered.

Benefit: This feat works like Cleave, except that there is no limit to the number of times you can use it per round.

GREATER FLURRY OF BLOWSYou improve your flurry of blows ability.

Prerequisites: Dex 19, Flurry of Blows, Improved Flurry of Blows, Improved Unarmed Strike

Benefit: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get from flurry of blows, you get a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus.

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.

GREATER WEAPON FOCUSYou are especially good at using your chosen weapon.

Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Weapon Focus with selected weapon, base attack bonus +8, 8 hit dice.

Benefit: 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 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.

+1. If you didn’t already have a natural armor bonus, this feat gives you one.

MANYSHOT

You can fire multiple arrows simultaneously against a nearby target.

Prerequisites: Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6

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).

MOUNTED COMBATYou are skilled in mounted combat.

Prerequisite: Ride Rank: Trained.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 defense if it’s higher than the mount’s regular defense.)

Prerequisite: Sneak Attack 5d6Benefit: Once per round, you can make an attack

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +4, Skill Level 8, Concentration Rank: Skilled, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack.

Benefit: You gain a +2 insight bonus on your attack roll and your damage roll (if the attack hits) for the first attack you makes against an opponent that has been dealt damage in melee by another character since your last action.

OVERWHELMING ONSLAUGHT Your style of combat provokes openings. Perhaps you’re a full-bodied fighter, and a blow to the head is

followed by a strike at the knee, or maybe your blows are so heavy they knock shields and armor aside. As long as you can focus yourself on an opponent, you can create your own openings to exploit.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +8, Str 13.Benefit: Whenever you successfully strike an

opponent in melee, you gain a bonus to your next attack roll this round equal to the amount by which your attack exceeded your opponent's AC. If your attack doesn’t deal damage (it is, for example, reduced to 0 by damage reduction, or you are fighting a creature immune to your strikes), you still gain the bonus to hit.

Example: Gyrghus the Dwarf has this feat, and an attack pattern of +12/+7. He makes a full attack against an opponent with an AC of 18, and his first attack roll is a 15, giving him a result of 27. Since he beat his opponent's AC by 9, he gains a bonus of +9 to his second attack (making it a +16, rather than a +7).

Benefit: Once a round, on a confirmed critical hit with a ranged weapon with which you have Weapon focus, Improved Critical and Weapon Specialization, you may increase the critical multiplier of the weapon by +1 before rolling damage. Therefore, a Longbow (normally ×3 on a crit), would deal ×4 damage on a critical hit.

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 one-handed 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.)

POWER SHOT You can make exceptionally powerful shots at the expense of accuracy, striking at smaller chinks in the armor that protect more vulnerable areas.

Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Base Attack Bonus +6, Dex 13.

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).

Benefit: You gain the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, gaining an extra 1d6 damage added to your normal damage roll.

When making a precise strike, you cannot attack with a weapon in your other hand or use a shield. A precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike.

PREPARED Your style of combat is defensive and methodical. You can bide your time and protect yourself more ably than most.

Benefit: You gain an additional +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class when fighting defensively, and an additional +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class when making a total defense action.

Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop with a ranged attack (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra, ranged attack against another creature in a straight line with the creature you just dropped, within range. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack.

This extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus and roll as the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this ability once per round. This can’t be done at range greater than 30 feet.

Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (crossbow type chosen).

Benefit: Choose a type of crossbow (hand, light, or heavy). 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 full round 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.

RAPID SHOT

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 to use this feat.

RECEIVING STRIKEYou may anticipate attacks from all sides and strike out against them.

Prerequisites: Dodge, Combat Reflexes.Benefit: When you are fighting defensively or

taking a total defense action, foes provoke an attack of opportunity from you for entering your threatened area. Your dodge target always provokes an attack of opportunity for entering your threatened area

Normal: Foes only provoke an attack of opportunity for leaving your threatened area.

RETALIATORY STRIKE You’re not just able to defend yourself, you’ve made defending yourself into an aggressive art itself.

Prerequisites: Prepared, Base Attack Bonus 11+.Benefit: Whenever you’re fighting defensively, the

first attack made against you in a round provokes an attack of opportunity from you. When you’re making a total defense, all attacks made against you in the round provoke attacks of opportunity. You may take these attacks of opportunity as though you weren't making a Total Defense.

RIDE-BY ATTACKYou are skilled at making fast attacks for your mount.

Prerequisites: Ride Rank: Trained, 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).

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.

Prerequisites: 2 Hit Dice, Base Attack Bonus +1, Base Reflex Save +3

Benefit: You deal an extra 1d6 points of damage on all attacks you make during any round in which you move at least 10 feet. The extra damage applies only to attacks taken during your turn.

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. You can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

You lose this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.

Special: If you purchase this feat a second time, you gain a +1 competence bonus to defense during any round in which you move at least 10 feet.

SLOW FALLYou can use your surroundings to slow your falls.

Prerequisites: Skill Level 6, Acrobatics Rank: Skilled, Tumble Rank: Skilled, Base Reflex Save +4

Benefit: When you are within arm’s reach of a wall (or other sufficiently large object), you can use it to slow your descent. When first using this ability, you take damage as if the fall were 20 feet shorter than it actually is.

Special: You can purchase this feat more than once, each time you purchase this feat your ability to slow her fall (that is, to reduce the effective distance of the fall when next to a wall) improves by 10 ft. Each time you purchase this feat the Skill Level requirements increase by 3

SNATCH ARROWSYou 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, 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.

SNEAK ATTACKIf you catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, you can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

Prerequisites: Skill Level 6, Hide Rank: Trained, Move Silently Rank: Trained

Benefit: Your sneak attack deals and extra 1d6 points of damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to Defense (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when you flank your target. Should you score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.

Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, you can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. You cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty.

You can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. You cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

SPIRITED CHARGEYou are trained at making a devastating mounted charge.

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.

STILL MINDYou have trained yourself to be guarded against any metal intrusion.

SUDDEN SURGEYour movements are swifter than the eye.

STUNNING FISTYou 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 no more than one stunning attack per round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned.

SUPERIOR UNARMED STRIKEYou unarmed strikes have become increasingly deadly, enabling you to strike your foes in the most vulnerable areas.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +3.

Benefit: You deal more damage with your unarmed strike as shown on the table below.

Hit Dice Unarmed Damage3 1d44 - 7 1d68 - 11 1d812 - 15 1d1016 - 20 2d6

SUPERLATIVE RANGE Your skill with a ranged weapon is such that what is considered ‘close range’ is a bit further than most would expect.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +6, Far Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus (Any bow or crossbow).

Benefit: Your range increments with a ranged weapon with which you have Weapon Focus increase by +10 feet per +2 Base Attack Bonus. Thus, a character with a +16 Base Attack Bonus with the Far Shot feat would have a 260-foot range increment with a heavy crossbow (120 feet ×1.5 + 80 feet).

Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus (Any Bow or Crossbow), Piercing Shot, Base Attack Bonus +16.

Benefit: You may Take Aim, as a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. You must designate your target before declaring this action, and unless you are hiding or concealed in some way, your target is obviously aware of this.

weapons (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +1 shield bonus to your AC.

TWO-WEAPON FIGHTINGYou 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
