This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action.

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.

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 acid arrow, can't be deflected.

This feat only works against thrown or archaic missile weapons, such as arrows, stones, or crossbow bolts. You cannot use this feat to deflect bullets or energy pulses.

Destructive Spell [Metamagic]

You can increase the destructiveness of your spells.

Prerequisite: Spellcaster level 5th.

Benefit: You can increase the maximum damage of any spell by a number of dice equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Thus, a 10th-level sorcerer with a 15 Charisma would increase the maximum damage of his fireball to 12d6. Of course, the other rules for determining spell damage remain the same. In the example, the sorcerer's fireball would still only inflict 10d6 points of damage, since he is of insufficient level to do any more. A Destructive Spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than its actual level.

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.

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 (such as this one and a dwarf's racial bonus on dodge attempts against orcs) stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.

Dragonblood [General]

The blood of dragons runs in your veins, and its manifested power gives you a natural affinity for arcane magic.

Prerequisite: Cha 13.

Benefit: Sorcerer is a favored class for you. This is in addition to your favored class based on race.

Special: You can take this feat any time you are eligible to choose a new feat. When you take the feat after 1st level, you have only just discovered the latent magical affinity manifested by your heritage.

Empower Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half.

Enlarge Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: You can alter a spell with a range of close, medium, or long to increase its range by 100%.

An enlarged spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.

Spells whose ranges are not defined by distance, as well as spells whose ranges are not close, medium, or long, do not have increased ranges.

Eschew Materials [General]

Benefit: You can cast any spell that has a material component costing 1 cr or less without needing that component. (The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.)

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.

Benefit: When choosing a familiar, the creatures listed below are also available to the spellcaster. The spellcaster may choose a familiar with an alignment up to one step away on each of the alignment axes (lawful through chaotic, good through evil).

Improved familiars otherwise use the rules for regular familiars, with two exceptions: If the creature's type is something other than animal, its type does not change; and improved familiars do not gain the ability to speak with other creatures of their kind (although many of them already have the ability to communicate).

The list in Table: Improved Familiar by Alignment presents only a few possible improved familiars. Almost any creature of the same general size and power as those on the list makes a suitable familiar. Nor is the master's alignment the only possible categorization.

Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent, the target may not choose to avoid you. You also gain a +4 bonus on your Strength check to knock down your opponent.

Improved Precise Shot [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +11, Dex 19.

Benefit: Your ranged attacks ignore the AC bonus granted to target by anything less than total cover, and the miss chance granted to targets by anything less than total concealment. Total cover and total concealment provide their normal benefits against your ranged attacks.

In addition, when you shoot or throw ranged weapons at a grappling opponent, you automatically strike at the opponent you have chosen.

Improved Shield Bash [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Shield Proficiency.

Benefit: When you perform a shield bash, you may still apply the shield's shield bonus to your AC.

Improved Shot on the Run [General/Fighter]

You are skilled at making multiple ranged attacks with firearms while on the move.

Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Dodge, Mobility, Mobile Shot, Shot on the Run, Technical Proficiency, Dex 15, ability to make multiple ranged attacks with a firearm.

Benefit: You can make multiple ranged attacks with a firearm and still move your base speed. If the attacks are combined with a move action, you can make your attacks at any point during your normal movement. For example, if your speed is 30 feet, you could move 10 feet and take your first attack, move 10 more feet and take your second attack, and then move your final 10 feet. You can't use this feat if you are in heavy armor (though you can use it in powered armor).

Normal: You must use the full attack action in order to get more than one attack per round.

Special: You only get the benefits of this feat when making ranged attacks with a firearm. You can use the feat whenever you get multiple ranged attacks in a round, such as with a high base attack bonus, the Rapid Shot feat, or the gundancer's firestorm class ability.

Improved Sunder [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Power Attack, Str 13.

Benefit: When you strike at an object held or carried by an opponent (such as a weapon or shield), you do not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Improved Trip [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Combat Expertise, Int 13.

Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you attempt to trip an opponent while you are unarmed. You also gain a +4 bonus to your Strength check to trip your opponent.

If you trip an opponent in melee combat, you immediately get a melee attack against that opponent as if you hadn't used your attack for the trip attempt. For example, at 11th level, Tordek gets three attacks at bonuses of +11, +6, and +1. In the current round, he attempts to trip his opponent. His first attempt fails (using up his first attack). His second attempt succeeds, and he immediately makes a melee attack against his opponent with a bonus of +6. Finally, he takes his last attack at a bonus of +1.

Improved Turning [General]

Prerequisites:Ability to turn or rebuke creatures.

Benefit: You turn or rebuke creatures as if you were one level higher than you are in the class that grants you the ability.

Improved Two-Weapon Fighting [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Two-Weapon Fighting, base attack bonus +6, Dex 17.

Benefit: In addition to the standard extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it, albeit at a -5 penalty.

This feat does not work with ranged weapons.

Improved Unarmed Strike [General/Fighter]

Benefit: You are considered to be armed even when unarmed—that is, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity from armed opponents when you attack them while unarmed. However, you still get an attack of opportunity against an opponent who makes an unarmed attack on you.

In addition, your unarmed attacks can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your option.

Information Junkie [General]

You spend much of your time accumulating news, trivia, rumors, and gossip.

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Gather Information and Research checks.

Innocent Demeanor [General]

You have a cute, simple, or otherwise innocent demeanour about you that encourages people to let their guard down.

Prerequisite: Cha 11.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Bluff and Gather Information checks. The first time someone catches you in a Bluff, their attitude towards you doesn't change. They assume you're foolish, ignorant, or otherwise exempt from blame.

Special: This feat may only be selected during character creation.

Innuendo [General]

You know how to make sense of coded language and innuendo.

Prerequisite: Bluff 1 rank.

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to Bluff checks to send a secret message in plain conversation and a +4 bonus to Sense Motive checks to discern secret messages.

Inside Joke [General]

You find it easy to break the ice with people who have similar interests and work experiences as you do.

Benefit: You may make a Craft, Knowledge, or Profession skill check to alter the attitude of an NPC who has ranks in that same skill.

Normal: Charisma checks are usually made to change NPC attitudes.

Internal Compass [General]

You have an unshakeable sense of direction.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all Navigate checks and a +2 bonus on Survival checks to avoid getting lost.

Investigator [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus to all Gather Information and Search checks.

Iron Will [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws.

Jargon [General]

You find it especially easy to communicate with people who have similar interests and work experiences as you do.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Diplomacy, Gather Information, and Sense Motive checks you make on characters who have at least one rank in a Craft, Knowledge, or Profession skill in which you also have at least one rank. This feat grants no benefit for having more than one skill in common.

Jury Rig [General]

You have a knack for finding just the right parts for repairs.

Prerequisite: Repair 1 rank.

Benefit: Except in the most unusual of circumstances (DM's option), you can always find substitute parts for any repair attempt. You never suffer the "have no parts" penalty to DC for your Repair checks. Likewise, the circumstance penalty for using improvised tools is dropped to -1.

Normal: If you're forced to use improvised tools, you suffer a -2 circumstance penalty. Only mechanists and characters with at least 5 ranks in a corresponding Craft skill can attempt a repair job with a DC higher than 20.

Leadership [General]

Prerequisites: : Character level 6th.

Benefit: You can attract loyal companions and devoted followers, subordinates who assist you. See the table below for what sort of cohort and how many followers the character can recruit.

Leadership Score	Cohort Level	# Followers by Level
Leadership Score	Cohort Level	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th

25 or higher	17th	135	13	7	4	2	2

Leadership Score

A character's base Leadership score equals his level plus any Charisma modifier. In order to take into account negative Charisma modifiers, this table allows for very low Leadership scores, but the character must still be 6th level or higher in order to gain the Leadership feat. Outside factors can affect a character's Leadership score, as detailed above.

Cohort Level

The character can attract a cohort of up to this level. Regardless of a character's Leadership score, he can only recruit a cohort who is two or more levels lower than himself. The cohort should be equipped with gear appropriate for its level. A character can try to attract a cohort of a particular race, class, and alignment. The cohort's alignment may not be opposed to the leader's alignment on either the law-vs-chaos or good-vs-evil axis, and the leader takes a Leadership penalty if he recruits a cohort of an alignment different from his own.

Cohorts earn XP as follows:

The cohort does not count as a party member when determining the party's XP.

Divide the cohort's level by the level of the PC with whom he or she is associated (the character with the Leadership feat who attracted the cohort).

Multiply this result by the total XP awarded to the PC and add that number of experience points to the cohort's total.

If a cohort gains enough XP to bring it to a level one lower than the associated PC's character level, the cohort does not gain the new level—its new XP total is 1 less than the amount needed attain the next level.

Number of Followers by Level

The character can lead up to the indicated number of characters of each level. Followers are similar to cohorts, except they're generally low-level NPCs. Because they're generally five or more levels behind the character they follow, they're rarely effective in combat.

Followers don't earn experience and thus don't gain levels. However, when a character with Leadership attains a new level, the player consults the table above to determine if she has acquired more followers, some of which may be higher level than the existing followers. (You don't consult the table to see if your cohort gains levels, however, because cohorts earn experience on their own.)

Leadership Modifiers

Several factors can affect a character's Leadership score, causing it to vary from the base score (character level + Cha modifier). A character's reputation (from the point of view of the cohort or follower he is trying to attract) raises or lowers his Leadership score.

Leader's Reputation	Modifier
Great renown	+2
Fairness and generosity	+1
Special power	+1
Failure	-1
Aloofness	-1
Cruelty	-2

Other modifiers may apply when the character tries to attract a cohort:

The Leader...	Leadership Modifier
Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion	-2
Recruits a cohort of a different alignment	-1
Caused the death of a cohort	-2¹
Owns or is served by a soulmech	-2
Is a soulmech	-2
1. Cumulative per cohort killed.

Followers have different priorities from cohorts. When the character tries to attract a new follower, use any of the modifiers that apply on the table below.

The Leader...	Leadership Modifier
Has a stronghold, base of operations, guildhouse, or the like	+2
Moves around a lot	-1
Caused the death of other followers	-1
Owns a starship	+1

Leadfoot [General]

You are very good at operating a vehicle at high speed.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: When piloting a vehicle, you get a +4 bonus on all Pilot checks for acceleration.

Legion Etiquette [General]

You know how to talk to soldiers and gain their trust.

Prerequisites: Legion Training.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to all Charisma and Charisma-based checks when dealing with members of the military.

Legion Training [General]

You have received basic training for service in the military.

Benefit: You gain Martial Weapon Proficiency (assault carbine) and Simple Weapon Proficiency (heavy autopistol).

Lightning Reflexes [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Reflex saving throws.

Local Color [General]

You have an understanding of local customs and values that people appreciate.

Prerequisite: Etiquette, Wis 15.

Benefit: You may make a Sense Motive check (DC 20) every day you spend in a new city or port. Once you have succeeded, you gain a +2 bonus to all Diplomacy and Gather Information checks you make in that area. If you leave the location and return later, the bonus still applies. This bonus is lost if you are involved in any major disturbance in the area, such as a crime or a terrible accident.

Low-G Tolerance [General]

You are well adapted to low-g environments.

Prerequisite: Dex 13.

Benefit: You treat all low-g environments—those between 0.1g and 1g—as if they were 1g for purposes of Dexterity modifiers.

Magical Aptitude [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Spellcraft and Use Magic Device checks.

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.

Martial Weapon Proficiency [General]

Benefit: You make attack rolls with the selected weapon normally.

Special: You can gain Martial Weapon Proficiency multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.

Masterful Control [General]

You have a master's touch on steering wheels, throttles, and other control surfaces.

Prerequisites: Dex 15, Pilot 1 rank, Improved Initiative, Technical Proficiency, Vehicle Dodge.

Benefit: Whenever you suffer a vehicular mishap, you may attempt an immediate Pilot check as a free action to regain control of the vehicle before anything can go wrong.

Maximize Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit:

All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this feat are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. A maximized spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher 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.

Minimizing Maneuver [General]

You can alter your starship's profile to minimize the exposure of vulnerable areas to attack.

Prerequisites: Dex 15, Pilot 1 rank, Sacrificial Roll, Starhip Piloting, Technical Proficiency, Vehicle Dodge.

Benefit: When the vehicle you're piloting is the subject of a critical threat, you may make a Pilot check opposed by the attacker's attack roll. If your Pilot check wins this opposed roll, the critical threat is not confirmed.

Mobile Shot [General/Fighter]

You are adept at dodging attacks while firing a ranged weapon.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility.

Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you make a ranged attack within a threatened area. Note: A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose your dodge bonuses.

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.

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.

Special: You get the benefits of this feat when you fire any kind of ranged weapon from a mount, including firearms. This feat does not apply to ranged attacks from vehicles.

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).

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.

Negotiator [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks.

Nimble Fingers [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Disable Device and Open Lock checks.

Persuasive [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Bluff and Intimidate checks.

Point Blank Shot [General/Fighter]

Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

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.)

Precise Shot [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: 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.

Pressing Attack [General/Fighter]

You are skilled at seizing every advantage and keeping your opponent on the defensive.

Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes.

Benefit: This feat allows you to follow an opponent who tries to step back from an area you threaten. The opponent must be in an area you threaten at the beginning of his action. If the opponent takes a 5-foot step to an area you do not threaten, you may immediately take a 5-foot step of your own to any unoccupied space where you again threaten the opponent. If no such space is available, you cannot use this feat. You may only use this feat once per round.

Quick Draw [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1.

Benefit: You can draw a weapon as a free action instead of as a move action. You can draw a hidden weapon as a move action.

A character who has selected this feat may throw weapons at his full normal rate of attacks (much like a character with a bow).

Quicken Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is an swift 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 up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell's actual level. Casting a quickened spell doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.

Special: This feat can't be applied to any spell cast spontaneously (including sorcerer spells, bard spells, and cleric or druid spells cast spontaneously), since applying a metamagic feat to a spontaneously cast spell automatically increases the casting time to a full-round action.

Ram [General]

You know how to use your vehicle as a weapon.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: When you attempt to ram another vehicle, your target does not get a Pilot check for half damage.

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.

Rapid Shot [General/Fighter]

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.

Raptor's Instinct [General]

You know how to maneuver your vehicle to line up attacks against an opponent.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on Pilot checks to make targeting runs in vehicle combat.

Remote Operation [General]

You know how to operate a robot remotely.

Prerequisites: Use Device 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: If you have a remote operation rig and access to a robot with the remote operation upgrade, you can control the robot's actions through a wireless communications link. The robot will do any task you command to the best of its ability. If you make an attack using the robot, you may either use your attack bonus with a -4 penalty or you may simply issue the commands and use the robot's attack bonus.

Resist Radiation [General]

You are highly resistant to the effects of radiation exposure.

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on Fortitude saves against radiation. In addition, your chance of contracting radiation poisoning is reduced to 5% per dose to which you have been exposed.

Special: You may only take this feat as a 1st-level character.

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). Your total movement for the round can't exceed double your mounted speed. You and your mount do not provoke an attack of opportunity from the opponent that you attack.

Robotic Familiar [General]

You may replace your normal familiar with a robotic one.

Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar.

Benefit: You can choose a robot of Small size or less to be your familiar. This feat functions exactly like the summon familiar class ability, except that the robot is not actually summoned but constructed specifically for the purpose. The summoner must pay the cost of construction. The robot then gains all the benefits of a normal familiar, except that it has no special ability. The robot familiar does not grant you any bonuses beyond those common to all familiars.

Special: You may freely upgrade your robotic familiar as you wish. If, in upgrading, it gains an ability covered by a familiar special ability, such as speech, it does not gain any other ability instead.

Run [General]

Benefit: When running, you move five times your normal speed (if wearing light or no armor and carrying no more than a light load) or four times your speed (if wearing medium or heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavy load). If you make a jump after a running start you gain a +4 bonus on your Jump check. While running, you retain your Dexterity bonus to AC.

Sacrificial Roll [General]

You can roll your ship to expose less vulnerable surfaces to attack.

Prerequisite: Pilot 1 rank, Starship Piloting, Technical Proficiency, Vehicle Dodge.

Benefit: Whenever the vessel you're piloting suffers a critical hit, you can make a Pilot check (DC 20) to reroll the hit location and choose between the results.

Savant [General]

You have special insights into narrow topics of investigation.

Prerequisites: Int 15, Knowledge (any) 1 rank.

Benefit: You gain a +4 insight bonus on skill checks in a single Knowledge skill in which you already have ranks.

Special: This feat may be taken multiple times, but each time it must apply to a different Knowledge skill in which you already have ranks.

Science of Magic [Metamagic]

You have studied esoteric mathematical models of magical effects and can manipulate the formulae of these models to increase the power of your spells.

Prerequisites: Int 15, Knowledge (arcana) skill, Heighten Spell.

Benefit: By manipulating magical mathematical formulae during casting, you can increase your effective caster level and the spell's effective level when casting a spell, without having to prepare that spell in a higher slot or losing a higher slot upon casting. It takes longer than normal to cast a spell with Science of Magic. If its normal casting time is 1 action, casting a metamagic spell is a full-round action. For spells with a longer casting time, it takes twice as long to cast the spell.

Using Science of Magic requires a Knowledge (arcana) check. Choose the number of magical formulae you attempt to manipulate. The DC is 10 + spell level + formulae modifier (see below). If the check is successful, you gain the listed increases in caster level and spell level for determining the spell's effects. If your Knowledge (arcana) check fails, the spell is not cast, and you lose the spell or spell slot.

Number of Formulae	Formulae Modifier	Caster Level Bonus	Spell Level Bonus
1	+2	+1	+1
2	+4	+2	+1
3	+6	+2	+2
4	+8	+3	+2
5	+10	+3	+3

Scribe Scroll [Item Creation]

Prerequisites: : 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 1,000cr in its base price. The base price of a scroll is its spell level x its caster level x 25cr. 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.

Self-Sufficient [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Heal and Survival checks.

Shield Proficiency [General]

Benefit: You can use a shield and take only the standard penalties.

Special: Shields are largely an obsolete technology on modern worlds. Law enforcement officers occasionally use them to protect against primitive weapons in riot situations. Shields offer no armor bonus against ranged attacks from firearms.

Shot on the Run [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot, Base Attack Bonus +4.

Benefit: When using the attack action with a ranged weapon, you can move both before and after the attack, provided that your total distance moved is not greater than your speed.

Silent Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: : A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.

Special: Bard spells cannot be enhanced by this metamagic feat.

Simple Weapon Proficiency [General]

Benefit: You make attack rolls with simple weapons normally.

Skill Adept [General]

You are renowned for your aptitude in a single skill.

Prerequisite: Skill Focus (any).

Benefit: You gain an additional +3 bonus on all checks with that skill.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat, it applies to a new skill.

Skill Focus [General]

Benefit: You get a +3 bonus on all checks involving a chosen skill.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill.

Snatch Arrows [General/Fighter]

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.

Space Jockey [General]

You are more at home behind the controls of a starship than anywhere else, and you don't mind getting your hands dirty to keep your craft in tip-top shape.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Starship Piloting, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Pilot, Repair, and Use Device checks involved in the operation of a starship.

Speed Load [General/Fighter]

You can reload a gun with startling speed.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1 or higher, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: You can load an ammunition magazine or power cell into a firearm as a free action instead of a move action.

Spell Focus [General]

Benefit:Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic you select.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new school of magic.

Spell Mastery [Special]

Prerequisite: Wizard level 1st.

Benefit: Each time you take this feat, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier that you already know. From that point on, you can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook.

Normal: Without this feat, you must use a spellbook to prepare all your spells, except read magic.

Spell Penetration [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on caster level checks (1d20 + caster level) made to overcome a creature's spell resistance.

Spirited Charge [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack.

Benefit: When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance).

Spread Control [Metamagic]

You are able to control your spread-based area of effect spells.

Benefit: When you cast a spell with a spread-based area of effect (such as fireball), you can reduce its area of effect as you wish. You can control both the spell's point of origin, as well as how far from that point the effect spreads, up to its full area. A spread controlled spell takes up a spell slot one level higher than normal.

Spring Attack [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Base Attack Bonus +4.

Benefit: When using the attack action with a melee weapon, you can move both before and after the attack, provided that your total distance moved is not greater than your speed. 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.

Starship Piloting [General]

You know how to pilot and operate a starship.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: You do not suffer any penalties on your Pilot checks when operating a starship.

Normal: Characters without this feat suffer a �4 penalty on Pilot checks when attempting to operate a starship.

Stealthy [General]

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Hide and Move Silently checks.

Still Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: : A stilled spell can be cast with no somatic components.

Spells without somatic components are not affected. A stilled spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.

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. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned.

Superior Attitude [General]

You use other people's ignorance to make you seem superior.

Benefit: First, make an opposed Craft, Knowledge, or Profession check against a subject you wish to intimidate. If you win the check, you gain a +4 bonus to all Intimidate checks against that subject until you finally fail an Intimidate check against them.

Technical Proficiency [General]

You either hail from or have lived in a technologically advanced civilization for a significant period of time.

Benefit: You can use common high-tech devices, such as communicators and holovids. You can also learn to use high-tech weapons, computers, vehicles, and other complex or specialized equipment with the appropriate training.

Normal: Without this feat, characters cannot use high-tech devices without instruction. Even with instruction, they suffer a -4 circumstance penalty on all ability checks, skill checks, and attack rolls using high-tech devices. Such characters cannot choose feats or learn skills that have Technical Proficiency as a prerequisite.

Special: This feat is typically not chosen when a character is eligible to select a new feat. Most characters who hail from a high-tech civilization gain this feat for free when they are created. Characters from frontier worlds may take it for free once they have spent one full level gaining experience with advanced technology. A character could meet this requirement by adventuring on modern high-tech worlds, training at a modern enclave on a frontier world, or traveling with others who are equipped and experienced with high technology. Characters are never required to take this feat. Characters only gain the feat if they are actively attempting to learn and acclimate themselves to technological civilization.

Temperature Tolerance [General]

You can withstand a broad range of temperatures and climates.

Prerequisite: Con 13.

Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on Fortitude saving throws to resist the effects of heat dangers and cold dangers.

Throttle Jockey [General]

You have a masterful control over your vehicle's speed.

Prerequisite: Pilot 1 rank, Lead Foot, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: When piloting a vehicle, you ignore one-half of the current speed penalty when making Pilot checks to accelerate or decelerate.

Touch to Ray [Metamagic]

You can cast touch spells as ray spells.

Benefit: Any spell with a range of "touch" can be prepared or cast as a ranged touch attack with a range of close (25 ft. + 5 ft. for every 2 caster levels). A touch spell prepared or cast with Touch to Ray uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell's actual level.

Toughness [General]

Benefit: You gain +3 hit points.

Special: A character may gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Tower Shield Proficiency [General]

Prerequisites: Shield Proficiency.

Benefit: You can use a tower shield and suffer only the standard penalties.

Track [General]

Benefit: To find tracks or to follow them for 1 mile requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow, such as when other tracks cross them or when the tracks backtrack and diverge.

You move at half your normal speed (or at your normal speed with a -5 penalty on the check, or at up to twice your normal speed with a -20 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions, as given on the table below.

Surface	Survival DC
Very soft ground	5
Soft ground	10
Firm ground	15
Hard ground	20

Very Soft Ground: Any surface (fresh snow, thick dust, wet mud) that holds deep, clear impressions of footprints.

Soft Ground: Any surface soft enough to yield to pressure, but firmer than wet mud or fresh snow, in which a creature leaves frequent but shallow footprints.

Firm Ground: Most normal outdoor surfaces (such as lawns, fields, woods, and the like) or exceptionally soft or dirty indoor surfaces (thick rugs and very dirty or dusty floors). The creature might leave some traces (broken branches or tufts of hair), but it leaves only occasional or partial footprints.

Hard grond: Any surface that doesn't hold footprints at all, such as bare rock or an indoor floor. Most streambeds fall into this category, since any footprints left behind are obscured or washed away. The creature leaves only traces (scuff marks or displaced pebbles).

Several modifiers may apply to the Survival check, as given on the table below.

Condition	Survival DC Modifier
Every three creatures in the group being tracked	-1
Size of creature or creatures being tracked:¹
Fine	+8
Diminutive	+4
Tiny	+2
Small	+1
Medium	+0
Large	-1
Huge	-2
Gargantuan	-4
Colossal	-8
Every 24 hours since the trail was made	+1
Every hour of rain since the trail was made	+1
Fresh snow cover since the trail was made	+10
Poor visibility:²
Overcast or moonless night	+6
Moonlight	+3
Fog or precipitation	+3
Tracked party hides trail (and moves at half speed)	+5
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.

Special: This feat does not allow you to find or follow the tracks made by a subject of a pass without trace spell.

You cannot use this feat to track aircraft or spacecraft. Hovercraft, however, can be tracked using this feat.

Trample [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: : Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.

Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent while mounted, your target may not choose to avoid you. Your mount may make one hoof attack against any target you knock down, gaining the standard +4 bonus on attack rolls against prone targets.

You can shoot with both weapons when you have a firearm in each hand. You can make one extra attack each round with the second weapon.

Benefit: Your penalties for firing two weapons are reduced by 2.

Two-Weapon Defense [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting.

When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +2.

Two-Weapon Fighting [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Dex 15.

Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6.

You know how to maneuver to avoid attacks.

Prerequisites: Pilot 1 rank, Technical Proficiency.

Benefit: When piloting a vehicle, you get a +1 dodge bonus on your AC against attacks from one opponent you choose, whether it's a character, creature, or another vehicle. You can select a new target on any action.

Special: If you choose an opposing vehicle as your target for this feat, the dodge bonus applies to all ranged attacks made from that vehicle. This may include any combination of integral vehicle weapons, mounted weapons, or personal weapons fired by characters on or in the vehicle.

Weapon Finesse [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1.

Benefit: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.

Special: Natural weapons are always considered light weapons.

Weapon Focus [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Base Attack Bonus +1.

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.

Whirlwind Attack [General/Fighter]

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Base Attack Bonus +4.

Benefit: When you use the full attack action, you can give up your regular attacks and instead make one melee attack at your full base attack bonus against each opponent within reach.

When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats or abilities (such as the Cleave feat or the haste spell).

Widen Spell [Metamagic]

Benefit: You can alter a burst, emanation, line, or spread-shaped spell to increase its area. Any numeric measurements of the spell's area increase by 100%. For example, a fireball spell (which normally produces a 20-foot-radius spread) that is widened now fills a 40-foot-radius spread. A widened spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level.

Spells that do not have an area of one of these four sorts are not affected by this feat.

Wise Flying [General]

You rely on sensory cues, instruments, and your gut to pilot vehicles.

Prerequisite: Wis 13.

Benefit: You use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Dexterity modifier when making Pilot checks.

Zero Records [General]

You have led a cautious existence, carefully avoiding contact with the InfoNet and other media that could record your whereabouts or history.

Benefit: The Research DC to locate any information about your past or your current whereabouts is 30. Gather Information checks centering on you suffer a -2 penalty. Spot checks to recognize you in a crowd or through a disguise suffer a -2 penalty.
