Blind-Fight [General/Fighter]
Benefit: In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.
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.

Born of Duty [Dorn]
Prerequisites: Dorn, lawful alignment.
Benefit: Once per day as a full-round action, you can loose a fearsome cry. Undead within 100 ft. must succeed in a Will save or suffer penalties as if shaken. Dorns who hear the cry receive a +2 morale bonus to saving throws against fear and enchantment effects. The save DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Charisma modifier. This is a sonic, extraordinary ability.
Additionally, your caster level is considered one higher for the Call Tadulos class ability of the spirit speaker prestige class.

Source: Honor and Shadow, p. 61
Born of the Grave [Dorn]

Special: This feat can only be chosen at 1st character level.
Source: Honor and Shadow, p. 61
Brew Potion [Item Creation]
Prerequisites: Magecraft, Spellcasting, Caster level 3+.
Benefit: .You can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell that you know and that targets one or more creatures. Brewing a potion takes one day. When you create a potion, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a potion is its spell level x 50gp. To brew a potion, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half this base price.
When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
Any potion that stores a spell with an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to costs derived from the base price, you must pay the XP when creating the potion.
Source: PHB, p. 89
Canny Strike [General]
Prerequisites: Int 13, Clever Fighting, Weapon Finesse, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: When using either a light weapon or any weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse, such as a rapier or whip, you deal an extra 1d4 points of damage with each attack per point of your Intelligence bonus. For example, a fighter with an Intelligence of 15 and wielding a cedeku deals an extra 2d4 points of damage with each successful hit. As with other bonus damage dice, this damage is not multiplied when a critical hit is confirmed. You cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. Targets immune to sneak attacks or critical hits are immune to damage from Canny Strike.
Source: Star and Shadow, p. 51
Caste Status [General]
Prerequisites: You must be sworn to and in good standing with a sussar (whether directly or indirectly through an individual of a higher caste than you).
Benefit: You have achieved next level in the Sarcosan caste system. You receive all the social benefits of your new rank when dealing with other Sarcosans.
Normal: Most Sarcosans characters begin play as members of the asara caste.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat you increase in social rank by one step. This feat must be approved by the DM before it can be taken. A character may take this feat even if he did not have an opportunity to perform the appropriate acts in-character; the commitment to his place in Sarcosan society and the time spent performing the appropriate deeds is represented by the character taking this feat at the expense of another feat that would improve his capabilities during play. Under very rare circumstances, the DM may choose to award Caste Status as a bonus feat to PCs who prove themselves worthy of advancing in rank through some dramatic event during play.
Source: Star and Shadow, p. 51
Clear-Eyed [Erenlander]
Prerequisites: Erenlander, must be taken at character creation.
Benefit: When you roll a Spot check in bright light to determine at what distance you notice approaching creatures, you suffer half the normal penalties for distance.

Source: Destiny and Shadow, p. 56
Cleave [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach.

You can use this ability once per round.
Source: PHB, p. 92
Clever Fighting [General]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Weapon Finesse, base attack bonus +2.
Benefit: You are able to place finesse attacks where they deal greater damage.

Prerequisites: 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.
Source: PHB, p. 92
Combat Reflexes [General/Fighter]
Benefit: When foes leave themselves open, you make a number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your Dexterity bonus. For example, a fighter with a Dexterity of 15 can make a total of three attacks of opportunity in 1 round--the one attack of opportunity any character is entitled to, plus two more because of his +2 Dexterity bonus. If four goblins move out of the character's threatened squares, he can make one attack of opportunity each against three of the four. You can still make only one attack of opportunity per opponent.
With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Special: The Combat Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use her opportunist ability more than once per round.
Source: PHB, p. 92
Concealed Spellcasting [General]
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13+.
Benefit: When casting a spell, the channeler may make a Bluff skill check (opposed by a Spot check from anyone observing) to disguise the source of a spell. Somatic, verbal, and material components are still required; their use is simply disguised as normal gestures and sounds. Note that some spells (such as fireball) cannot be concealed, at the referee’s discretion.
Special: Use of the Still Spell or Silent Spell feat grants a +2 synergy bonus to Bluff skill checks when using this feat. (These bonuses stack, granting a +4 bonus to Bluff checks when using a silent and still spell.)
Craft Charm [Item Creation]
Prerequisites: Craft (any) 4 ranks.
Benefit: You can create charms, beneficial items that use the innate magic of Aryth. Charms can take any shape, so long as you have ranks in Craft that allow you to produce a mundane version of that item.

Prerequisites: Magecraft, any three Spellcasting feats, character level 12th+.

Creating a greater spell talisman takes one day for each 1,000vp in its base price. To craft a greater spell talisman, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP.
Spell talismans are magical. The caster level (such as for the purposes of astirax detection, saving throws, dispelling, etc.) for greater spell talismans is 3rd for those that cost 25,000gp, 5th for those that cost 40,000gp, and 8th for those that cost 75,000gp.

The weapon, armor, or shield to be enhanced must be a masterwork item that you could make.

Craft Spell Talisman [Item Creation]
Prerequisites: Magecraft, Spellcasting, character level 3rd+.
Benefit: You can create a spell talisman for any spell that you know. A spell talisman can be of any shape, size, or material. Each is a unique creation and often reflects either the purpose of the spell for which it is being created or the personality of its creator. Creating a spell talisman takes one day for each 1,000vp in its base price. To craft a spell talisman, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP.

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Disguise checks and Forgery checks.
Source: PHB, p. 93
Defiant [Erenlander]
Prerequisites: Erenlander.
Benefit: When you fail a Fortitude or Will saving throw against something that will have some negative or incapacitating effect on you other than hit point damage (such as an enchantment effect, fear effect, sickening effect, or poison), you may ignore the negative effects of the attack for long enough to perform a single round's worth of actions. As soon as your turn is finished, however, you are subjected to the effect, but it has become even stronger. If it inflicted numerical penalties to ability scores, checks, attack rolls, or the like, those penalties are doubled. If the attack has some non-numerical effect, such as causing you to become dominated or panicked, the duration of the effect instead doubles. Either the numerical penalties or the duration are doubled, but not both. The DM is the final arbiter of which occurs.
This feat does not stave off the effects of an attack that instantly kills you, such as a death effect.
Normal: The effects of an attack occur immediately upon the failure of the saving throw.
Source: Destiny and Shadow, p. 56
Deflect Arrows [General/Fighter]
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 by a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon doesn't count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons, such as boulders hurled by giants, and ranged attacks generated by spell effects, such as Melf's Acid Arrow, can't be deflected.
Source: PHB, p. 93
Deft Hands [General]
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Sleight of Hand checks and Use Rope checks.
Source: PHB, p. 93
Devastating Mounted Assault [General]
Prerequisites: Mounted Combat, Ride 10 ranks.
Benefit: When riding a mount that makes a single move or charge during the round, you may still take a full attack action. The mount must move 5 feet between each attack, and each attack after the first suffers a cumulative -5 penalty (in addition to the mornal -5 penalty on all iterative attacks in a full attack action).
Source: Midnight 2nd Edition, p. 122
Diehard [General]
Prerequisites: 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 a 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.

Drive It Deep [Fighter, General]
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls.

For example, an empowered magic missile deals 1-1/2 times its normal damage (roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1.5 for each missile). Saving throws and opposed rolls (such as the one you make when you cast dispel magic) are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. An empowered spell uses up two spell energy points more than the spell's actual level.

You can also mend a broken ring if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP and half the time it would take to forge that ring in the first place.
Some magic rings incur extra costs in XP, as noted in their descriptions. For example, a ring of three wishes costs 15,000XP in addition to costs derived from its base price (as many XP as it costs to cast wish three times). You must pay such a cost to forge such a ring or to mend a broken one.

In addition, your unarmed attacks can deal lethal or non-lethal damage, at your option.
Source: PHB, p. 96

Benefit: Select one of your mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma; ideally, you should choose your highest of the three). Then choose a number of 0-level spells fromt he Channeler spell list equal to the modifier of your chosen ability score. You gain those spells as spell-like abilities, usable at will, with DCs determined by your chosen mental ability score and caster level equal to your character level. The first time you use any of these spell-like abilities each day, it has a casting time of 1 standard action. However, the magic and power of each subsequent spell-like ability used that day becomes increasingly more difficult to coax forth, increasing the casting time as follows: 1 round, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour. After the 5th such spell-like ability used each day, all subsequent spell-like abilities granted by this feat have a casting time of two hours. These spell-like abilities can be interrupted and require concentration, just like normal spellcasting.
If you get a full period of rest at the end of the day, the casting times of the spell-like abilities granted by this feat reset to 1 standard action the next day. If you do not get a full period of rest, the casting times do not reset, and the next spell-like ability you use from this feat has a casting time of one step higher than the previous spell-like ability (to a maximum of two hours).

Benefit: Once per day, you may make a DC 10 Gather Information check to find a resident of your district who owes you a lesser favor, and a DC 10 Diplomacy check to convince him to repay the lesser favor without having to resort to harsher measures. The DM is the final arbiter of who does and does not owe you favors. Lesser favors include: a day of public service, information about the doings of one person, an agreement to attend the Dark God's rituals on a date determined by you, or an offering of food/items/equipment no greater than your needs for one week.
A number of times per month equal to your Charisma modifier, you may make a DC 25 Gather Information check to find a resident of your district who owes you a greater favor, and a DC 25 Diplomacy check to convince him to repay the greater favor without having to resort to harsher measures. The DM is the final arbiter of who does and does not owe you favors. Greater favors include: one week of public service, an offering of food/items/equipment no greater than your needs for one month, long-term information (one year or longer) about one person of your choosing, or the betrayal of a friend.
Special: When you select this feat you must select one ward in Baden's Bluff. In order to maintain your ability to call on lesser favors, you must spend at least 10 hours per week helping the ward's residents; additionally, you must use half of your 0-level and 1st-level spells each day assisting residents. There is a 25% chance each day that you must use one additional spell of a randomly determined level to assist your residents. Finally, in order to maintain your ability to call on greater favors, you must spend three full days each month helping residents, using up all of your available spells for those days except one for each level.
If you fail to perform either duty, the DCs to find residents who owe you favors and to convince them to repay you increase by +10 per week missed (for lesser favors) until the time and effort are made up.

Magecraft [Channeling]
Prerequisites (Hermetic only): Literacy in at least one language in which you are fluent.
Benefit: When you gain this feat, you must choose the magical tradition with which you are connected. You then become a channeling spellcaster and gain benefits and abilities as described below. Regardless of the tradition chosen, the character gains knowledge of prestidigitation, three other 0-level spells of his choice, and one 1st-level spell of his choice. He may then cast a number of those 0-level spells per day equal to 3 + his spellcasting ability modifier. If the caster exceeds this limit, treat all 0-level spells as 1st-level spells for purposes of spell energy and spell damage.
In addition, he gains a number of spell energy points equal to his spellcasting ability modifier. The spell energy can be used to cast the 1st-level spell he selected, as well as later learned spells.
Note that when selecting your 1st-level spell, you may not select spells from the greater schools of magic.
Until a character learns a Spellcasting feat, he can only cast the spells that he learned from the Magecraft feat. Once a character gains a Spellcasting feat, he may learn and cast any channeled spells he wishes within the limits of the rules for channeled spellcasting.

Manyshot [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with a -4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally (but see Special).
For every five points of base attack bonus you have above +6, you may add one additional arrow to this attack, to a maximum of four arrows at a base attack bonus of +16. However, each arrow after the second adds a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll (for a total penalty of -6 for three arrows and -8 for four).
Damage reduction and other resistances apply separately against each arrow fired.
Special: Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) only once. If you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical damage; all others deal regular damage.

Maximize Spell [Metamagic]
Prerequisites: Magecraft.
Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this feat are maximized. A maximized spell deals maximum damage, cures the maximum number of hit points, affects the maximum number of targets, etc., as appropriate. For example a maximized fireball deals six points of damage per caster level (up to a maximum of 60 points of damage at 10th caster level). Saving throws and opposed rolls (such as the one you make when you cast dispel magic) are not affected, nor are spell without random variables. A maximized spell uses three spell energy points more than the spell's actual level.
An empowered, maximized spell gains the separate benefits of each feat, the maximum result plus one-half the normally rolled result. An empowered, maximized fireball cast by a 15th level wizard deals points of damage equal to 60 plus one-half 10d6.
Source: PHB, p. 97
Mobility [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge.
Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose you Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses (such as this one and a dwarf's racial bonus on dodge attempts against orcs) stack with each other, unlike most types of bonuses.
Source: PHB, p. 98
Mounted Archery [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: The penalty you take when using a ranged weapon while mounted is halved: -2 instead of -4 if your mount is taking a double move, and -4 instead of -8 if your mount is running.
Source: PHB, p. 98
Mounted Combat [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank.
Benefit: Once per round when your mount is hit in combat, you may attempt a Ride check (as a reaction) to negate the hit. The hit is negated if your Ride check result is greater than the opponent's attack roll. (Essentially, the Ride check result becomes the mount's Armor Class if it's higher than the mount's regular AC).
Source: PHB, p. 98
Natural Healer [General]
Benefit: When you succeed at a Heal skill check to render first aid to a character with negative hit points, you restore the character to 1 hit point. When providing long-term care, all characters under your care recover at three times the normal rate (3 hit points per level for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, 6 hit points per level for each day of complete rest, 3 ability score points for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, 6 ability score points for each full day of rests.)
Source: Midnight 2nd Edition, p. 124
Natural Spell [General]
Prerequisites: Wis 13, wild shape ability.
Benefit: You can complete the verbal and somatic components of spells while in a wild shape. For example, while in the form of a hawk, you could substitute screeches and gestures with your talons for the normal verbal and somatic components or focuses you possess, even if such items are melded within your current form. This feat does not permit the use of magic items while you are in a form that could not ordinarily use them, and you do not gain the ability to speak while in a wild shape.

Source: PHB, p. 98
Pikeman [General]
Prerequisites: Proficiency with a hafted reach weapon.
Benefit: When wielding a hafted reach weapon that can be set against a charge, you may set to receive a charge as a move action rather than as a ready action. This only allows you to attack charging foes that provoke attacks of opportunity by moving out of one of your threatened squares, however, since you did not ready an actual attak. For instance, if you are Medium and wielding a longspear, you would gain an attack (and inflict double damage, if you hit) against an orc that charges through your reach to attack you with a vardatch, but not against an ogre that charges and attacks you from 10 feet away.
Normal: You must use a ready action to set to receive a charge in order to deal double damage against him on a successful hit.

Power Attack [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Str 13.
Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
Special: If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, 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.)
Source: PHB, p. 98
Power Reservoir [General]
Prerequisites: Magecraft.
Benefit: You may store an amount of additional spell energy--above that granted by the Magecraft feat and any character levels--equal to your spellcasting modifier. Thus you can store spell energy siphoned off a power nexus or other arcane source. This extra energy is not recovered once it's been spent, though it may be replaced with more siphoning.

Quicken Spell [Metamagic]
Prerequisites: Magecraft, Spellcasting.
Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a free action. You can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. A quickened spell uses four more spell energy points than the spell's actual level. Casting a quickened spell does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Source: PHB, p. 98
Quickened Donning [General]
Benefit: You can don your armor hastily (see Getting Into and Out of Armor, PHB) without suffering the normal penalties. In addition, you can remove your armor in half the listed time, although having help does not further reduce the time.
Source: Midnight 2nd Edition, p. 124
Rapid Reload [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Weapon proficiency (crossbow type chosen).
Benefit: The time required 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.
Special: You can gain Rapid Reload multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of crossbow.
Source: PHB, p. 99
Rapid Shot [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Point Blank Shot.

Source: PHB, p. 99
Resigned to Death [General]
Prerequisites: Wis 13.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to saving throws against fear effects. Further, any fear effect you suffer from is lessened by one step.

Source: Steel and Shadow, p. 12
Ride-By Attack [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: When you are mounted and use the charge action, you may move and attack as if with a standard charge and then move again (continuing the straight line of the charge).

Scribe Scroll [Item Creation]
Prerequisites: Magecraft, Spellcasting, ability to read and write at least one language.
Benefit: You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes one day for each 1,000vp in its base price. The base price of a scroll is its spell level x its caster level x 25vp. To scribe a scroll, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP.
Any scroll that stores a spell with an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must pay the XP when scribing the scroll.

Prerequisites: Erenlander, must be taken at character creation.
Benefit: This feat takes the place of one of the bonus feats you would otherwise take at character creation, and is effectively an "empty feat slot" that you may fill at any time you wish. For instance, a character may start out with a Dexterity of 12 but eventually wish to learn the Dodge feat; by taking this feat, the character may hold off on using one of his bonus feat slots until 4th level, when his ability score increase fives him a Dexterity of 13, allowing him to take the Dodge feat.
This feat may only be taken once.
Normal: You must use bonus feats as soon as they become available.
Source: Destiny and Shadow, p. 57

Prerequisites: Erenlander, Defiant.
Benefit: Any time you reach -1 hit points or lower, or any time you would die, you may choose to act normally for long enough to perform one round's worth of actions before succumbing to unconsciousness or death. The soon-to-occur state may be due to hit point loss, a death effect, level loss, and so on. Regardless, once your turn is complete, you succumb to the effect as normal.
Between the moment that you would normally fall unconscious or die and the moment that you actually fall unconscious or die, no beneficial effects may prevent your fate. healing spells, dispel magic effects, and the like are all useless, only coming into effect after you perform your actions and subsequently fall. Characters who use this feat and are reduced to -1 to -9 hit points can be healed or revived, but require twice the normal healing until they reach 0 hit points. For instance, a character who was at -4 hit points would require 8 points of healing to reach 0 hit points, at which point healing begins to affect him normally.
Characters may choose not to use the benefits of this feat at the moment they reach -1 hit points or lower, or at the moment of their death.

Stunning Fist [General/Fighter]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next action). A stunned character can't act, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a -2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained, and no more than once per round.

The creature might leave some traces (broken branches or tufts of hair), but it leaves only occasional or partial footprints.

| 1 For a group of mixed sizes, apply only the modifier for the largest size category. | ||
| 2 Apply only the largest modifier from this category. | ||
If you fail a Survival check, you can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) while searching.

If your opponent succeeds against the DC, he gathers the correct information, but should he fail, he acquires the false information planted by you. If he exceeds the DC by 10 or more, he discovers not only the true information, but also the false information and the specific time and place that the false information was planted.
To use Gather Information in this way takes 1d4+1 hours and plants false information that may be found for the next 24 hours.
