If you have 10 or more ranks in the skill, the penalty is instead reduced by 6 (to a minimum of 0).

Believer's Boon

Prerequisites: Wis 13, alignment must be within one step of your deity's.

Benefit: When you take this feat, choose one domain granted by your deity. You can use the 1st-level domain ability that clerics of that domain can use a number of times or rounds per day, but you can use it only once per day or 1 round per day, whichever is appropriate. Your effective cleric level in regard to this ability is 1st level. If the domain has a 1st-level ability that does not meet this specification, you cannot use it.

Normal: Nimble Moves allows you to move through 5 feet of difficult terrain each round as if it were normal terrain.
Special: If you have the favored terrain class feature, you do not select a terrain with this feat. Instead, this feat’s increased movement through difficult terrain applies to all of your favored terrains.

Brilliant Planner
Prerequisites: Int 13, character level 5th.
Benefit: You can prepare for future contingencies without defining what those preparations are until they are relevant. As a part of this preparation, while in a settlement for at least 24 hours, you can take 8 hours and spend up to 50 gp per character level, which becomes your brilliant plan fund. While you have a brilliant plan pending, you are always treated as carrying 20 additional pounds of weight, even before you define your brilliant plan. Once per day, you can take 10 minutes to enact a brilliant plan, withdrawing an item that would have been available in a settlement you visited or procuring a mundane service that your character planned ahead of time. Once you enact the plan, subtract the price of the item or service from this feat’s fund. Any item procured must weigh 10 pounds or less. Likewise, the GM must approve any nonmagical service you gain by using this feat as being appropriate for the location selected. Once you have spent all the money in your brilliant plan fund or procured 20 pounds of objects with this feat, you cannot use the feat again until you replenish your brilliant plan fund.

Benefit: As a full-round action, you can reduce the power of the aura generated by your alignment for 1 minute. During this time, for the purposes of spells that detect alignment, your aura’s power is lessened by one step. You also gain a +2 bonus on checks to send secret messages.

Special: You can gain Equipment Trick multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of equipment.

​

Far-Roaming Familiar

Prerequisites: Int 13, must have a familiar.

Benefit: You retain your empathic link to your familiar regardless of distance, though lead blocks the link at distances greater than 1 mile (similar to the way lead blocks detect magic effects).

Feign Curse

Prerequisites: Deceitful, Influence 5 ranks, Spellcraft 1 rank.

Benefit: As a standard action, you can feign placing a curse on a target. The target must attempt a Sense Motive or Spellcraft check against a DC equal to 15 + your number of ranks in Influence + your Charisma modifier, with a bonus on his skill check equal to any conditional bonus he has on saving throws against hexes or curses. If he fails, he becomes plagued by self-doubt and second-guesses himself. For his next two attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, or ability checks, he rolls twice and takes the lower result; for every 5 ranks of Influence you possess beyond 5, this ability affects an additional roll. This is a mind-affecting effect, and it doesn’t work if the target is immune to curses. Once you attempt to feign putting a curse on a creature, you cannot do so again against the same creature for 24 hours, and if the target succeeds at detecting your ruse, he gains a +10 bonus against future attempts.

Fey Foundling
Prerequisite: You may only select this feat at 1st level.
Benefit: Your strange connection to the First World and the fey infuses you with life, and whenever you receive magical healing, you heal an additional 2 points per die rolled.

Fortune Teller

​Prerequisite: able to cast divination spells or sphere effects.

Benefit: Upon taking this feat, choose a focus item for your divination magic. Whenever you cast a spell from the divination school, you may use this focus item instead of the spell’s material component, as long as the cost of the material component is no more than 20gp. If you choose to perform the spell using your focus item and the spell’s normal material component, you cast the spell at +1 caster level.

 

Ghostslayer

Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1, Knowledge (divine) 1 rank.

Benefit: As a swift action, you can imbue a weapon you wield with spiritual energies for 1 round. An imbued weapon damages incorporeal creatures as though it were magical. If the imbued weapon is magical, it functions as a ghost touch weapon. A weapon imbued in this way can deal precision damage to incorporeal creatures.

Godless Healing
Prerequisite: Cannot have a patron deity.
Benefit: Once per day when you have half your total hit points or fewer, you may heal yourself of an amount of damage equal to 1d8 plus your total Hit Dice as a move action. This is a supernatural ability.

Benefit: Add your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength bonus to Athletics checks. If you have a Strength penalty, you must apply both your Strength penalty and your Dexterity modifier.

​

Helpless Prisoner

Prerequisites: Influence 5 ranks, Escape Artist 1 rank.

Benefit: When you are restrained or imprisoned, you can make an Influence check against any one creature within 30 feet in which you emphasize both your own harmlessness and the pain or inconvenience of your current condition. If the creature knows you are dangerous, it adds a +4 bonus to its Sense Motive check. If you win the check, the target does something intended to make you a little more comfortable — or at least shut you up — that gives you a +5 bonus on your next Escape Artist check.

 

Herbal Components

Prerequisite: Eschew Materials

Benefit: Once per day, you can attempt a Profession (Herbalist) or Survival check to use herbal substitutes for the required material components of a single spell that normally cost up to 25gp (DC = 5 + the gp value of component). These components can be used only for your own spells and can’t be sold. They decay within a week if not used.

​

Improved Beast Hunter

Prerequisites: Beast Hunter, base attack bonus +3, Knowledge (nature) or Survival 3 ranks.

Benefit: When fighting animals that are at least one size category larger than you and that are native to the terrain you have chosen with Beast Hunter, you gain a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks and a +4 to your CMD against such animals’ attempts to use combat maneuvers against you.

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.

 

Leaping Evasion

Prerequisites: Lightning Reflexes, evasion class feature.

Benefit: When you succeed at a Reflex save against a spell or effect that affects an area, as an immediate action you can attempt an Acrobatics check to jump out of the effect’s area. You must move to the nearest space you can see outside of the affected area. The DC for this Acrobatics check is equal to the number of feet you must move to escape the area, and you can’t travel farther than your normal movement. If you use this feat, you are staggered on your next turn. This movement doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity from creatures in the area of the effect you are escaping.

Lifebound
Benefit: Whenever a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability heals you up to your maximum number of hit points, any excess hit points persist for 1 round per level as temporary hit points (up to a maximum number of hit points equal to 1/2 your character level). If the healing from the spell or spell-like ability would normally persist as temporary hit points, you instead add 1/2 your character level to the spell’s caster’s level to determine the total number of temporary hit points that you gain.
