Aligned Attacks
Prerequisites: Non-neutral alignment, Alteration sphere, Fate sphere, 5th caster level or higher.
Benefit: Choose one alignment you possess. Your natural attacks count as that alignment for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. If your alignment changes, you may select a new non-neutral alignment that you possess in place of the originally chosen alignment. If you cease to possess a non-neutral alignment, you lose the benefits of this feat until you gain a non-neutral alignment. This is an extraordinary (Ex) ability.
Aquatic Combatant
Prerequisite: Athletics 1 rank.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on Swim checks and don’t take the usual penalties on melee attack rolls made underwater. Your slashing melee attacks and unarmed bludgeoning attacks deal full damage underwater.
Normal: When you’re underwater, most of your melee attacks take a –2 penalty and deal only half damage.
Arcane Strike
Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane spells.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can imbue your weapons with a fraction of your power. For 1 round, your weapons deal +1 damage and are treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. For every five caster levels you possess, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
Backup Breaker
Prerequisites: Boxing sphere, Dual Wielding sphere.
Benefit: When you ready a counter punch to make a dual attack, you may make only the attack with your primary or off-hand weapon when your counter punch is triggered. If you do, you may make your other attack when another creature would perform an action that would trigger your counter punch before the start of your next turn. You may only apply a (counter) talent to one of these attacks made as part of this counter punch. The bonus damage from a counter punch is applied to both attacks. These counter punches count as attacks in a dual attack for the purposes of Dual Wielding talents.
Barroom Brawler
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: Once per day as a move action, you can gain the benefit of a combat feat that you do not possess for 1 minute. You must otherwise meet the feat’s requirements.

Prerequisites: Critical Focus, BAB +9.
Benefit: You inflict 1 additional bleed when inflicting any bleed effect.
Blind-Fight
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 do not need to make Acrobatics skill checks to move at full speed while blinded.
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.
Special: The Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who is the subject of a blink spell.
Bodyguard
Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes.
Benefit: When an adjacent ally is attacked, you may use an attack of opportunity to attempt the aid another action to improve your ally’s AC. You may not use the aid another action to improve your ally’s attack roll with this attack.

Champion’s Strike
Prerequisite: Arcane Strike.
Benefit: Your Arcane Strike feat is in effect at all times without you needing to take an action to activate it. In addition, when you use this ability with an attack action that only affects one target and has only one attack roll, the bonus on damage rolls for your strike is increased 100% for every +5 Base Attack Bonus you possess.
Close-Quarters Thrower
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Weapon Focus with selected thrown weapon.
Benefit: Choose a type of thrown weapon. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity for making ranged attacks using the selected weapon.

Normal: A character without this feat can make only one attack of opportunity per round and can’t make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Special: The Combat Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use her opportunist ability more than once per round.
Combat Sphere Focus
Benefit: Choose a combat sphere. You gain a +1 bonus to saving throw DCs for all abilities from that sphere.

Prerequisite: 1 or more combat spheres.
Benefit: Select one combat sphere you possess, you treat your base attack bonus as 1 higher for the purposes of its effects, but not for attacks made with talents from that sphere.

Special: You may select this feat multiple times, each time selecting a different sphere.
Companion Trigger
Prerequisites: Animal Companion class feature, Mount class feature, or Beastmastery sphere.

Crossbow Mastery
Prerequisites: Dex 15, Rapid Reload, Rapid Shot.
Benefit: The time required for you to reload any type of crossbow is reduced to a free action, regardless of the type of crossbow used. You can fire a crossbow as many times in a full attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow. Reloading a crossbow for the type of crossbow you chose when you took Rapid Reload no longer provokes attacks of opportunity.
Dazzling Display
Prerequisite: Weapon Focus.
Benefit: While wielding a weapon from the group in which you have Weapon Focus, you can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a full-round action. Make an Intimidate check to demoralize all foes within 30 feet who can see your display.

Benefit: Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from 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 attack doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated by natural attacks or spell effects can’t be deflected. You must have at least one hand free and holding nothing (Unarmed Combatant) or a shield in one of your hands (Shield Focus) to use this feat.

Prerequisite: Dex 13.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a trip or disarm combat maneuver.

Dirty Trick Master
Prerequisites: Greater Dirty Trick, base attack bonus +11.
Benefit: Whenever you successfully perform a dirty trick combat maneuver against an opponent who is still affected by a condition inflicted by a previous dirty trick (whether your own or another creature’s), you can cause the condition to worsen. In addition to increasing the duration of the condition as normal, you cause an opponent who is dazzled to become dazed, entangled to become pinned, shaken to become frightened, and sickened to become nauseated. This worsened condition replaces the previous dirty trick condition, and lasts for the duration of the dirty trick (including any rounds remaining from the previous dirty trick condition) or until the opponent uses a standard action to remove the condition (whichever comes first).
Disciplined Casting
Prerequisites: Open Hand sphere, casting
Benefit: As long as you have martial focus, whenever you would deliver a magical sphere effect with an unarmed melee touch attack or unarmed strike as part of the casting action, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity for using that magical sphere effect in a threatened area.
Dodge
Prerequisite: Dex 13.
Benefit: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. This bonus increases to +5 against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or into a threatened square. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.

Elemental Fist
Prerequisites: Con 13, Wis 13, Unarmed Combatant, base attack bonus +8.

You may attempt an elemental fist attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (see Special), and no more than once per round.
Special: An elemental monk receives Elemental Fist as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. A monk may attempt an Elemental Fist attack a number of times per day equal to his monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels he has in classes other than monk.
Enforcer
Benefit: Whenever you deal nonlethal damage with a melee weapon, you can make a PSB check to demoralize your target as a free action.

Flick Of The Wrist
Prerequisites: Quick Draw, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: At any point during the round, you may use an immediate action to make a single ranged attack with a light melee weapon that is intended to be thrown. This attack suffers a –2 penalty. It may preempt a target’s action, as if you had readied the attack and thus, for example, may be used to disrupt a wizard’s concentration during spell casting. This attack may be used at any point in a target’s movement. This counts as an attack of opportunity in your current round, and consumes an attack of opportunity from your next round.
Furious Focus
Prerequisites: Str 13, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using an Aggressive Stance, you do not suffer the penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn.

Giantslayer
Prerequisites: Con 13, base attack bonus +5.
Benefit: When performing or resisting a combat maneuver against a foe who is at least 1 size category larger than yourself, you gain a bonus to your CMB and CMD equal to +1 per size category larger than yourself the opponent is (for example, a Small character would gain a +4 bonus to resist or perform combat maneuvers against a Gargantuan opponent). In addition, you can use combat maneuvers against targets 1 size larger than would normally be allowed (e.g., although normally a creature cannot drag a target more than 1 size category larger than itself, a character with this feat could drag targets up to two size categories larger than itself).

Benefit: As a standard action, make a single unarmed melee attack against a foe who is either entangled or prone.

Great Focus
Prerequisites: 2 or more combat spheres, base attack bonus +6 or higher.
Benefit: You may maintain a second martial focus. This martial focus is gained and expended independently from the first.
Greater Blind-Fight
Prerequisites: Perception 15 ranks, Improved Blind-Fight.
Benefit: Your melee attacks ignore the miss chance for less than total concealment, and you treat opponents with total concealment as if they had normal concealment (20% miss chance instead of 50%). You may still reroll a miss chance percentile roll as normal. If you successfully pinpoint an invisible or hidden attacker, that attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you with ranged attacks, regardless of the range. 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.

Greater Hamstring
Prerequisites: Powerful Maneuvers, base attack bonus +6, Str 13.

Greater Vital Strike
Prerequisites: Improved Vital Strike, Vital Strike, base attack bonus +16.
Benefit: When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the weapon’s damage dice for the attack four times and add the results together before adding bonuses from Strength, weapon abilities, precision based damage, and other damage bonuses. These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.
Hammer the Gap
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: When you take a full-attack action, each consecutive hit against the same opponent deals extra damage equal to the number of previous consecutive hits you have made against that opponent this turn. This damage is multiplied on a critical hit.
Harmonious Swordplay
Prerequisites: Dual Wielding sphere, Unarmed Combatant.
Benefits: As long as you have martial focus, dual attacks made with a manufactured weapon and an unarmed strike remove the attack penalty from dual attack for one manufactured weapon (as long as it is not being treated as an unarmed strike), and any unarmed strikes add your full Strength bonus to damage rolls instead of half for an off-hand attack.
Heroic Resolve
Prerequisites: Ability to gain martial focus, Constitution 13 or higher.
Benefit: As a move action, you may expend focus to suppress a single instance of the dazzled, fatigued, shaken, or sickened condition for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1). The duration of these conditions continues to expire while suppressed. You may instead choose to treat the frightened condition as shaken, the nauseated condition as sickened, the exhausted condition as fatigued, or the blinded condition as dazzled for the same duration. You may take this move action even if the condition would normally prevent you from taking move actions. You may only have one condition suppressed at a time; suppressing an additional condition forces you to stop suppressing the previous condition. If your base attack bonus is +10 or higher, you may suppress the dazed, frightened, nauseated, shaken, staggered, and stunned conditions and treat the panicked condition as shaken, though the duration of the suppression is cut in half (minimum 1 round).
Implacable
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against pain effects. When you are drunk or soused, you gain DR 5/piercing or slashing.
Improved Blind-Fight
Prerequisites: Perception 10 ranks, Blind-Fight.

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.
Special: The Improved Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who is the subject of a blink spell.
Improved Initiative
Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.
Improved Vital Strike
Prerequisites: Vital Strike, base attack bonus +11.
Benefit: When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage.

These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.
In Harm's Way
Prerequisites: Bodyguard.
Benefit: While using the aid another action to improve an adjacent ally’s AC, you can intercept a successful attack against that ally as an immediate action, taking full damage from that attack and any associated effects (bleed, poison, etc.).

Iron Guard
Prerequisites: Shield Focus, Shield Proficiency, base attack bonus +6.

Iron Palm
Prerequisites: Shield sphere, Unarmed Combatant
Benefit: As long as you have one hand free, your free hand is considered to be a shield for the purposes of using active defense and talents that augment active defense. Talents that require you to be wielding a shield or have a shield equipped such as Deflecting Shield, Hardened Shield and Shield Skate do not gain the benefits of this talent. Additionally, the talents you possess within the Shield sphere count towards your unarmed damage progression.

Benefit: When a foe more than 5 feet away from you makes a melee attack against you using reach, you gain a +4 dodge bonus to your AC against the attack.
Knife Trick

If your skill check exceeds your target’s AC, your attack hits. If your skill check also exceeds a DC of 10 + the target’s base attack bonus + the target’s Wisdom modifier (or 10 + your target’s Sense Motive bonus, whichever is higher), your target is also denied its Dexterity bonus to AC against this attack. Any given target may be the target of your Knife Trick only once per day.
Landing Roll
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge.
Benefit: If you are tripped, you can spend an immediate action to move 5 feet without provoking an attack of opportunity. This does not count as taking a 5-foot step. You fall prone after this movement.

Special: The Muscular Reflexes feat does not allow a rogue to use her opportunist ability more than once per round. The attacks of opportunity from this feat do not stack with those granted by Combat Reflexes or similar feats, but Muscular Reflexes counts as Combat Reflexes when meeting the prerequisites for feats.
Perfect Strike
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Unarmed Combatant, 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).

Benefit: When attacking a target with a miss chance granted from a spell, sphere effect, supernatural or spell-like ability, you may take a penalty to your attack roll to reduce the miss chance for that attack. Each -1 penalty to the attack roll you take reduces the miss chance by 10%. You cannot use this feat to take a penalty greater than half of your base attack bonus (rounded up).
Pouncing Sweep
Prerequisites: Athletics sphere, Open Hand sphere.
Benefit: Whenever you use the sweep ability of the Open Hand sphere, you may move 5 feet immediately before performing the trip using any movement mode associated with Athletics sphere packages you possess.

Punishing Kick
Prerequisites: Con 13, Wis 13, Unarmed Combatant, 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). On a successful hit, the attack deals damage normally and you can choose to push your target 5 feet or attempt to knock them prone. If you decide to push the target, it is moved 5 feet directly away from you. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and the target must end this move in a safe space it can stand in. If you decide to attempt to knock the target prone, the target receives a Fortitude saving throw with a DC of 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier to avoid the effect. You may attempt a punishing kick attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round.

Benefit: If you have a weapon that is augmented by your Arcane Strike feat, when you damage a creature with an attack made with that weapon, that creature takes a –2 penalty on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. This effect lasts for 1 round.
Rolling Serpent
Prerequisites: Athletics sphere, Boxing sphere (Shoulder Roll)
Benefit: As long as you have martial focus, whenever a creature makes a melee attack against you while you are using a movement mode corresponding to a package you possess, you may use shoulder roll against the attack without it counting towards your one usage per round.
