mkill's Feats[edit]

The feats I present here are meant to supplement the game. They aim to be balanced with the existing books, although I can't guarantee that. I aim to add more flexibility to character creation and more colourful options for players and DMs. This is not a fighter fix, or a fix for any other class, but I hope that these feats help you create the fighter or whatever character you have in your imagination.

General Feats[edit]

Your patron deity has chosen you to champion one of it's aspects.

Prerequisite[edit]

Paladin 3rd level, patron deity

Benefit[edit]

You gain access to one of your deity's domains. You gain the domain's granted power and you may add the domain's spells to your Paladin spell list, up to the level that you are able to cast.

DIVINE COMPANION [Divine][edit]

Your deity sent an animal from his / her realm to serve as your companion.

Prerequisite[edit]

Cleric level 3rd, Animal Domain

Benefit[edit]

You gain an animal companion, as the Druid's special ability. Your cleric level -3 is your effective druid level to determine the strength of your animal companion. If you have druid or ranger levels, you only gain one companion and add these levels to determine the strength of it. Additionally, if you normally turn undead, your animal companion gains the celestial template. If you rebuke undead, it gains the fiendish template.

DOUBLE DOMAIN SLOTS [General][edit]

You can prepare more Domain spells.

Prerequisite[edit]

Access to Cleric Domains, ability to cast 3rd-level divine spells.

Benefit[edit]

You gain one additional domain spell slot for the first and second spell level each. The spells you prepare in domain slots of the same level must always be from different domains.

Special[edit]

You may take this feat multiple times. Each time, the feat is applied to the next two higher-level domain slots. The spell level prerequisite is also raised by two (i.e. you can take the feat a second time when you are able to cast 5th level spells, and so on).

GRACEFUL MOUNT [General (Paladin)][edit]

You can bestow your special mount with a holy blessing.

Prerequisite[edit]

Paladin's Special Mount

Benefit[edit]

Your special mount receives the shared benefit of your divine grace class ability, giving it a bonus to all saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier.

HALF CELESTIAL MOUNT [General (Paladin)][edit]

Your special mount gains the Half-Celestial template.

Prerequisite[edit]

Paladin's Special Mount, ??

Benefit[edit]

Your special mount gains the Half-Celestial template.

See Half-Celestial Heavy Warhorse (3.5e Creature)

HOOF SMITE [General (Paladin)][edit]

Your special mount can use your Smite Evil ability.

Prerequisite[edit]

Paladin's Special Mount, Smite Evil, Mounted Combat, Ride 1 rank

Benefit[edit]

If you ride your special mount, it can Smite Evil with its attacks. Doing so uses up one of your Smite Evil attempts for that day. The bonus to attack and damage is determined by your own Paladin level and Charisma bonus.

ORACLE [General][edit]

With your divine magic, you are the eyes and ears of your church (cabal, circle).

Prerequisite[edit]

Wis 17+, ability to prepare divine spells

Benefit[edit]

You may spontaneously replace a divine spell you prepared in your normal slots (no domain spell) with a divination spell from your class list of the same or lower level.

RESTORING HANDS [General (Paladin)][edit]

You can restore ability damage with your Lay on Hands ability.

Prerequisite[edit]

Lay on Hands, Base fortitude save 4+.

Benefit[edit]

By spending 6 hit points of your lay on hands ability, you are able to heal 1 point of temporary ability damage.

Familiar[edit]

GHOST FAMILIAR [General][edit]

The magic bond with your familiar is strengthened by necromancy, allowing it to return from the grave.

Prerequisite[edit]

Spell Focus (Necromancy), familiar of the aberration, magical beast or dragon type.

Benefit[edit]

If your familiar is slain, he returns after 2d4 days as a ghost. If this happens the first time, it changes the type and abilities of your familiar. The familiar's type is changed to undead, and he gains the ghost template, even if it does not meet the Charisma prerequisite. He gains all abilities of the template. The number of special attacks of the ghost template the familiar gains depends on your sorcerer / wizard class level. He gains no special attacks if your level is below 10. At 10th level, your familiar gains his first special attack, plus one for each 5 levels after that. A ghost familiar does not gain the ability to speak with animals of it's kind. Note that the familiar can still deliver touch spells, but due to the restrictions of being a ghost it can only do so against ethereal targets. The only way to permanently slay your familiar is to permanently kill you. Since your familiar always returns, you never suffer the penalty from losing your familiar unless you dismiss it.

(similar feat exists in NBoF / only incorporeal)

HUMANIZE FAMILIAR [General][edit]

Your familiar can assume humanoid form.

Prerequisite[edit]

Familiar, spellcaster level 7+, master must be of humanoid race

Benefit[edit]

Your familiar gains the supernatural ability to take a humanoid shape of the same race as his master's, as per Alternate Form. The familiar can change forms at will, but the transition takes 1 minute and the familiar is fatigued after doing so. In his humanoid form, the familiar is treated as a warrior of half his master's class level. His hit points, base attack bonus, skills and saving throws are determined by his new class, but he can still use his master's skills and base saving throws if they are better. His Wisdom and Charisma score in humanoid form is equal to his masters -2 or those of his animal form, whichever is higher. In humanoid form, the familiar retains his special abilities except for natural armor and the ability to deliver touch spells. His master loses the free Alertness feat. A familiar in humanoid form retains some visible feature that marks him as unnatural. He may still have cat's eyes, raven's feathers in his hair, or his skin might have a greenish toad-like shimmer. Notes: At the DM's discretion, a humanoid familiar can take a different NPC class instead of warrior. The feat does not change the familiars stats in his natural form in any way.

This feat is too complicated for a usual feat, and I currently see no way to make it work smoother. Looks like it belongs to the rejected idea pile. The effect is also a bit freaky. Mhh. Maybe Were-creature template?

TALKING FAMILIAR [General][edit]

Your familiar gains the ability to speak normally.

Prerequisite[edit]

Familiar, arcane spellcaster level 5th

Benefit[edit]

Your familiar can communicate verbally with everyone, not only with his master. He can speak every language that his master knows. The familiar does not grow vocal cords, this is a supernatural ability. This feat also raises the familiars intelligence score by 1 point.

Special[edit]

Wizards may take this feat as a bonus feat.

Favored Enemy[edit]

ENEMY SPELL FOCUS [General][edit]

You are trained to use your spells effectively against your favored enemies.

CURSING TUNE [General][edit]

You can weave your curse into a mocking tune.

Prerequisite[edit]

Bardic music, Hexblade's Curse

Benefit[edit]

Any foe who hears the mocking tune must succeed at a Will save against 10 + half (your bard level + your hexblade level) + charisma bonus. If they fail, they suffer the effect of your Hexblade's Curse while the music is active. The cursing tune is a bardic music effect and it uses up one of your daily uses of bardic music. It does not count as a use of your Hex Curse. It is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect.

Special[edit]

A hexblade may select Cursing Tune as one of his bonus feats. A hexblade/bard with this feat may swap out his hexblade spellcasting ability to gain +1 spellcasting level as a bard with each hexblade level instead. He may learn Hexblade spells as bard spells.

(This feat needs to be turned into a more general Hexblade / Bard synergy feat. Tough.)

Favored Enemy, Hexblade's Curse

Benefit[edit]

Once per round, when you are attacked by an enemy in melee, you may make a Jump check as a swift action. If you beat your foe's attack roll, you successfully dodged the attack. You end up in any free square adjacent to yours. If there is no free adjacent square, you suffer a -4 penalty to your Jump check. You can not use this feat when you are more than lightly encumbered or wear armor heavier than light, or when you are denied your Dex bonus to AC.

(This feat is rather problematic, as there are several ways to shoot your Jump skill through the roof even at low levels, more than for other skills. Jump spell, cheap items, certain races, movement boosters... Used in the right way, this means a near automatic dodge (you can still roll a 1). This is almost like the Epic Dodge feat and should be judged accordingly.)

Prerequisite[edit]

Stunning Fist, Heal 1 rank

As a standard action, you can employ one use of your Stunning Fist ability to heal yourself or another character. The target recovers 1d4 + Wis bonus hit points.

If you use Mind Blow with as a full-round action, you may use a full-round attack against a single target. Mind Blow is a supernatural ability.


(This feat has a pretty steep prerequisite, at 19th level (Empty Body) the next feat you get could already be an Epic feat. Mhh.)

Wizard (or other character class that needs a Spellcraft check to learn spells)

Benefit[edit]

You gain a +4 bonus to Spellcraft checks to learn a new spell or to memorize a spell from a borrowed spellbook.

(This feat is too weak. Skill Focus (Spellcraft) is better, the bonus is only +3 but applies to much more.)

UNPRECOCIOUS APPRENTICE [General][edit]

You were a nightmare for your mentor. Even though you showed considerable talent, you never seemed to bother with studies and loved to pull pranks instead.

Prerequisite[edit]

1st level Wizard

Benefit[edit]

You can sponaneously cast Prestidigitation by "losing" a prepared spell of the same (0th) level. Every level after the first, you may choose an additional spell that you are able to spontaneously cast.

You may also select two skills from the Rogue list, these count as wizard class skills for you. Due to your laziness, you do not gain the scribe scrolls feat at first level.

Special[edit]

This feat must be selected at first level.

Divine Feats[edit]

All feats in this chapter require the ability to Turn or Rebuke Undead. A number of these have "(...) Domain" as prerequisite. This means that the character must have either the selected this Domain as one of his two cleric domains or gained access to it through a Prestige Class. It is not enough if the deity of the cleric grants the domain but he did not select it.

CONFUSE UNDEAD [Divine][edit]

Your mad god granted you the power to drive even the restless dead insane.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn/Rebuke Undead, Madness Domain

Benefit[edit]

If you choose so, Undead that would be turned/rebuked by you are affected by a Confusion spell instead. Use your Cleric level as the caster level. Undead that would be destroyed/commanded are hit by Insanity instead. Intelligent undead (Int 5 or higher) are especially weak against this effect and suffer a -2 penalty to their effective HD against this power, while mindless undead (no Int score) are hard to affect and receive a +2 bonus. Confuse Undead surpasses the immunity to all mind-affecting effects gained by the undead type.

CURSED LUCK [Divine][edit]

You can jeopardize your enemies with your power over fate.

Prerequisite[edit]

Rebuke Undead, Luck Domain

Benefit[edit]

You can spend one of your daily turn undead attempts as a standard action to put a curse on one of your enemies, if you succeed at an opposed Charisma check.

DIVINE BREATH [Divine][edit]

You can turn positive energy into breathable air.

Prerequisite[edit]

Orc or half-orc, Turn or Rebuke Undead, Orc Domain

Benefit[edit]

You are able to Rebuke or Command your fellow Orcs. This is handled like a Rebuke Undead check, and it uses up one of your Turn Undead attempts for that day. You always rebuke orcs, regardless of whether you turn or rebuke undead.

DIVINE TRAVEL [Divine][edit]

You can speed up travel with divine energy.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn Undead, Travel Domain

Benefit[edit]

By spending one of your daily turn undead attempts, you can double the long-distance traveling speed of any vehicle or mount for one hour per cleric level. If your Charisma bonus is +5 or higher, you triple speed. This power has no influence on maneuver speed during combat.

HOLY RAM [Divine][edit]

You can crush the walls that your enemies hide behind with holy power.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn or Rebuke Undead, divine spellcaster lvl. 3+, Destruction Domain

Benefit[edit]

Using the Holy Ram uses up one of your turn undead attempts for the day. Used against a natural wall, roll for turning damage (2d6 + cleric level + Cha modifier) and multiply by twenty. If the number surpasses the structural hit points of the wall, it is crushed. If you don't succeed, no damage is done. Against a magical wall, such as a Wall of Force spell, roll for turning damage (2d6 + cleric level + Cha modifier). If your roll is higher or equal to 11 + the spell's caster level you dispel it. If used against a Prismatic Wall, each use of the Holy Ram only destroys one colour layer of it. The Holy Ram can only be used to dispel spells with "Wall" or "Barrier" in the name.

IMPROVED SCALYKIND COMMAND [Divine][edit]

You can command more powerful creatures than mere lizards with your Domain power.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn Undead, access to Repose Domain

Benefit[edit]

You can spend one of your daily Turn Undead attempts as a full-round action to reduce a dead body to ashes and guide the soul to the afterlife. This effectively prevents the dead person to return as any type of undead. The only way to bring back a deceased after the Last Rite was spoken is True Ressurection.

SACRED DWARVEN SPIRIT [Divine][edit]

You can boost your fellow dwarves' fighting spirit with your positive energy.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn Undead, dwarf, Dwarf Domain

Benefit[edit]

Spend one of your daily turn undead attempts to give yourself and your dwarven allies within 60 ft. Damage Reduction 1/- (+1 for each point of your Charisma bonus, if any). Make a turning check, the result is the number of allies you can affect. The effect lasts until the end of your next turn.

SANCTION MAGIC [Divine][edit]

Your divine lord gives and takes the power over magic.

Prerequisite[edit]

Magic Domain, Turn or Rebuke Undead

Benefit[edit]

As a standard action, you can spend a Turn or Rebuke Undead attempt to boost or weaken arcane spellcasters.

Diplomacy 8 ranks, Turn Undead

Benefit[edit]

If you gather an audience and hold a speech to them, hold up your holy symbol and make a turning check. This turning check works just like Turning Undead against the HD or character levels of your audience. All affected listeners are put under an effect that works like a Suggestion spell, cast by as a divine spell. Use your own cleric level to determine the strength of the effect. Affected persons are allowed a will save, unless you have twice as many levels (or more) compared to the HD of your audience. To use the feat, you must talk to the audience for 5 minutes. You can make the check earlier, with a -1 penalty to your turning check, but you still need at least one minute.

Special[edit]

You may only suggest actions that are in line with your deities teachings. A cleric of Chauntea for example could suggest to start the harvest or to protect the village, but not to burn the granary. The latter would automaticly fail at the DM's discretion.

TORCH UNDEAD [Divine][edit]

You can burn undead in an outbreak of holy flames.

Prerequisite[edit]

Turn or Rebuke Undead, Fire Domain

Benefit[edit]

You can spend one of your daily Turn or Rebuke Undead attempts to shoot out holy flames in a 60 foot cone. All Undead in the area are set on fire. They suffer 1d6 + Charisma bonus fire damage each round for a number of rounds equal to half your cleric level.

Special[edit]

A fighter may select Yin Combat Focus as one of his fighter bonus feats. A monk may select this feat as one of his bonus feats at first, second or sixth level, but only if he has the Combat Focus feat.

(Just giving a bonus to effective monk level is not really cool. There should be something really amazing a monk with lots of Combat Form feats should be able to do.)
