Introduction
About the Author
Feats. No matter how many feats a typical

character may possess during the average campaign
players everywhere including myself love new
feats. Theres something about feats, those bitesized special abilities that help set a character
apart from the others in his party, that excite us.
Even with the hundreds upon hundreds of feats
currently available I personally am always on the
watch for new feats.
It is for those of you like myself that I have
put together this collection of feats. Built from
prestige class features from numerous sources,
as well as a number of completely new ideas
specifically written to suit my own needs, the
300+ feats in this collection created from the
PDFs 101 Feats, Another 101 Feats, and 101
More Feats vary from the minor talent such as
Agile Landing to the flavorful such as Arcane
Rush to the just plain simple yet useful such as
Fighters Discipline.
Perhaps more than any other small rules
component, feats must be approved by your DM
before they can be used in a game. I cannot stress
enough how damaging feats can be to both the
balance and flavor of a campaign when their
use is not carefully considered by the DM. While
the feats in this book all fit my particular needs
and style of play its highly likely that a number
of feats described herein will not suit your own
requirements. Please, consult your DM before
selecting any of these feats.

in the roleplaying game industry since 1995.
In that time he has worked for such companies
as West End Games, Privateer Press, and Steve
Jackson Games. Today Philip spends his days at
home running Ronin Arts, writing and designing
new games, and reading whatever books interest
him at the time. To learn more about Philip Reed

Feat Types
This PDF includes, in addition to [General]
feats, a few other feat types that were first
introduced in sources other than the core rules.
These new feat types are:
Divine Feats
The feats in this category share a few
characteristics. First, they all have as a prerequisite
the ability to turn (or, in most cases, rebuke)
undead. Thus, they are open to clerics, paladins
of 4th level or higher, and any prestige class that
has that ability. (An ability to turn other creatures
does not qualify a character to select one of these
feats.) Second, the force that powers a divine feat
is the ability to channel positive or negative energy
to turn or rebuke undead. Each use of a divine
feat costs the character one turn/rebuke attempt
from his or her number of attempts each day. If a
character doesnt have any turn/rebuke attempts
left, he or she cant use the feat. In most instances,
since turning or rebuking is a standard action,
activating a divine feat is also a standard action.
Open Game Content

All of the text in this book is presented as
open game content. While this means absolutely
nothing to your campaign it does give other
publishers permission to use this material as long
as they follow the open game license (see the end
of this book).
Epic Feats
Epic feats are available only to characters
higher than 20th level. Most epic feats are general,
meaning that no special rules govern them as a
group.
Spelltouched Feats
Survivor Feats
Sometimes, a character who has been the

target of a spell finds that some of its magic rubs
off on him or her permanently, leaving an echo
of the original spell. Accordingly, the only way
to become eligible to select a spelltouched feat is
to have been exposed to (that is, targeted by or
otherwise affected by) one of the spells associated
with the feat. If the spell allows a save, you must
have failed a saving throw against it at least once,
whether intentionally or not. After meeting the
prerequisite, you may select a spelltouched feat
when your character would otherwise qualify for
a feat. The exposure is the game-world explanation
for your new power, and the feat choice is the
trade-off that keeps the game balanced.
These feats offer a wide range of new abilities to

characters, but these abilities come at a price. To take a
Survivor Feat, a character must have in his past suffered
a setback of some sort, in some cases a very significant
one. It is said that which does not kill me makes me
stronger and that is certainly the basis for Survivor
Feats although being killed is in fact the prerequisite
for several of these feats!
Timebound
Built off of the Time Scarred spelltouched feat
(see p. 58), timebound feats represent a mystical
connection to the flow of time. Timebound feats,
all of which have Time Scarred as a prerequisite,
enable the character to manipulate the flow of
time in order to produce unusual, often powerful,
effects. Timebound feats are not appropriate
to all campaigns, though they are well suited to
cinematic and planar campaigns.
Temporal Dissonance: Timebound feats,
while quite useful to most adventurers, carry
with them potential danger known as temporal
dissonance. For each use of a timebound feat the
characters temporal dissonance score raises by 1.
At any time that a characters temporal dissonance
score exceeds one-half his character level (round
down), the character must make a Will save (DC
Spirit Feats
Originally introduced in the DMs Idea Pipeline,
spirit feats were initially presented as general feats that
all required the Spirit Touched feat. A spirit feat relies
upon the characters ability to tap into the unseen
spirit energy that surrounds everyone and everything.
Through the use of spirit feats a character may transform
that intangible, invisible spirit energy into effects that
impact the material world. A character must take the
Spirit Touched feat before he can begin selecting spirit
feats.
Changing Existing Feats into Timebound Feats

Unsurprisingly it is a simple matter to select an existing feat and slightly alter it in order to create a
new timebound feat. As an example, consider this modified Arcane Rush (see p. 11).
Temporal Rush [Timebound]

You twist the flow of time and summon a version of yourself from an alternate timestream that
appears as a blur that launches forth from your body, charging a designated opponent.
Prerequisites: Improved Bull Rush.
Benefit: As a swift action you may temporarily transfer an alternate version of yourself from
another timesteam. Immediately designate an opponent within a number of feet of your position equal
to five times the number of timebound feats that you possess. Once the target is selected this alternate
self performs a bull rush attempt against the opponent. This bull rush attempt functions as if you
were taking the action and plays out normally, as if you were actually charging the opponent, and
immediately after the results have been determined your alternate self returns to its own timestream.
In game time, all of this takes place instantly, your alternate self appearing as a brief blur that streaks
out from your body and strikes the targeted character or creature.
Special: Use of this feat increases your temporal dissonance score by 1.
10 + the characters temporal dissonance score)

and if unsuccessful the character suffers a number
of points of damage equal to his current temporal
dissonance score and is dropped unconscious for
a number of rounds equal to his current temporal
dissonance score as the forces of time shatter his
spirit and soul. Upon awakening, the characters
temporal dissonance score drops by one.
A character may harmonize with the flow
of time by devoting an entire day to meditation.
For a 24-hour period the character must lock
himself in a private room after which time his

temporal dissonance score drops by a number of
points equal to his Will save bonus (minimum
of 0). Once harmonized, the characters temporal
dissonance score may be reduced to 0 but any time
commitments remain (such as future lost spell
slots due to the Borrowed Spell feat (see p. 15)).
Any significant interruption prevents the character
from harmonizing with the flow of time; he gains
no benefit from the time spent in seclusion.
New Action Types
effort and energy than a free action. However,

unlike a swift action, an immediate action can be
performed at any timeeven if its not your turn.
Using an immediate action on your turn is the
same as using a swift action, and counts as your
swift action for that turn. You cannot use another
immediate action or a swift action until after your
next turn if you have used an immediate action
when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using
an immediate action before your turn is equivalent
to using your swift action for the coming turn).
You also cannot use an immediate action if you are
currently flat-footed.
Swift Action: A swift action consumes a

very small amount of time, but represents a larger
expenditure of effort and energy than a free action.
You can perform one swift action per turn without
affecting your ability to perform other actions.
In that regard, a swift action is like a free action.
However, you can perform only a single swift
action per turn, regardless of what other actions
you take. You can take a swift action any time you
would normally be allowed to take a free action.
Immediate Action: Much like a swift action,
an immediate action consumes a very small amount
of time, but represents a larger expenditure of
The Feats
Absorb Rings Power
[Epic]
Acidic Spell [Metamagic]

You imbue damaging spells with an acidic
quality.
Benefit: A spell that causes damage gains the
[Acid] descriptor and deals an extra +1 points
of damage per caster level (maximum of +10
damage). An acidic spell uses up a spell slot one
level higher than the spells actual level.
You may temporarily drain a magic ring of its

power, absorbing that energy into your own body.
Prerequisite: Additional Magic Item (ring).
Benefit: As a full-round action, a number of
times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier
plus one, you may drain a ring that you touch of
its power for a number rounds equal to your caster
level. For the duration that the ring is powerless your
body is charged with that rings power, granting you
its benefits as if you were wearing it. This absorbed
power does not count against the maximum number
of rings that you may normally wear.
Accustomed to Fear
[General]
You are intimately familiar with the horrific.
Prerequisite: Iron Will.
Benefit: You are immune to all fear effects.
Accomplished Acrobat
[General]
Against the Odds

[General]
Your skill and talent with acrobatic maneuvers

is legendary.
Prerequisites: Acrobatic, Jump 4 ranks,
Tumble 4 ranks.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on all Jump
checks and Tumble checks. This bonus stacks with
the bonus gained through the Acrobat feat for a
total bonus of +6.
You are at your best in combat situations when

youre surrounded by foes.
Prerequisites: Combat Reflexes, Base attack
bonus +5.
Benefit: For every melee opponent that
threatens your space you gain a +1 morale bonus
to Armor Class, up to a bonus equal to one-half
your base attack bonus (round down).
Special: A fighter may select Against the

Odds as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Alley Walker
[General]
Agile Charge [General]
Youve spent a considerable amount of your

childhood in the alleys of some of the largest cities
in the land and can predict the layout of any citys
streets and alleys.
Prerequisite: Born and raised in an urban
environment.
Benefit: To use this ability you must make
a Survival check. The total result multiplied by
three equals the radius in feet that you may sketch
out as a map of the surrounding alleys and streets.
For example, a Survival check result of 20
allows you to draw a map that shows the city
layout within 60 ft. of your position.
The map shows the streets and alleys only and
does not allow you to predict what the interior of
buildings in the area may look like.
You twist and turn when charging, throwing

your body in near-random, unexpected
directions.
Prerequisites: Acrobatic, Agile, Tumble 10
ranks.
Benefit: When charging, you may make as
many turns as you wish.
Agile Landing [General]

Appendix 1
Reserve Points
This variant gives each character a capacity
to recover quickly from injury. This capacity,
measured as reserve points, replenishes lost hit
points quickly after a fight. Thus, characters may
be wounded and near death by the end of a fight
but then recover to full strength (or nearly full
strength) before the next fight begins;
Reserve points work particularly well in lowmagic campaigns or any game in which healing is
rare, expensive, or otherwise hard to get.
points equal to or less than his HD to reduce his

nonlethal damage an equal amount. (If a character
has the Endurance feat, the DM might choose to
make this a move action, to reflect the fact that
such characters can more easily persevere through
exhausting situations.)
Alternate Uses for

Reserve Points
In order to make reserve points a more
valuable facet of your campaign, the following
alternate uses are presented. This is an optional
subset of an optional rule and should only be used
during a game session with the DMs permission.
These options make reserve points similar to
action points, though with a much lower variety,
and more concentrated focus, of uses.
Using Reserve Points

A characters quantity of reserve points equals
his full normal hit point total.
After a character becomes injured (by losing
hit points), reserve points begin automatically
converting to hit points at the rate of 1 per minute
of nonstrenuous activity (such as resting or hiking,
but not climbing, swimming, or fighting). Thus,
for each minute of nonstrenuous activity, the
character regains 1 hit point and loses 1 reserve
point.
Nonlethal Damage: Reserve points can also
reduce a characters nonlethal damage total. For
each reserve point that converts to a hit point, a
character also subtracts 1 point from his nonlethal
damage. In addition, a character can take a
standard action to spend a number of reserve
Expending Reserve Points to

Overcome Adverse Conditions
As a free action, at any time during play, a
character may expend reserve points to overcome
the following adverse conditions that typically
weaken, slow, or kill.
Ability Damaged: A character may overcome
temporary loss of ability score points by expending
10 reserve points per ability score point of damage
suffered. These reserve points must be spent
64
immediately in reaction to whatever caused the

damage. The character may elect to not overcome
the full amount of ability score damage suffered.
Ability Drained: Much like ability damage,
a character may overcome the permanent loss of
ability score points by permanently expending
15 reserve points per ability score point of drain
suffered. These reserve points must be spent
drain. The character may elect to not overcome the
full amount of ability score drain suffered.
Blinded: A character may resist the effects of
blindness by spending a number of reserve points
equal to the number of rounds during which
the character would suffer from this condition.
These reserve points must be spent immediately
in reaction to whatever caused the blindness. A
character may not choose to negate only part of
time during which blindness would be suffered
but must, instead, expend points to completely
overcome the full duration of the condition.
Cowering: At the cost of 2 reserve points
a character may ignore the effects of cowering.
These reserve points must be spent immediately in
reaction to whatever caused the condition.
Exhausted: A character may ignore the
effects of exhaustion by permanently expending 5
reserve points. These reserve points must be spent
condition.
Fascinated: At the cost of 6 reserve points
a character may ignore the effects of fascination.
These reserve points must be spent immediately in

Fatigued: A character may reduce fatigue to
mere exhaustion by permanently expending 10
condition.
Nauseated: A character may reduce the effects
of nausea to sickened by expending 2 (+ 1 point
per round the nausea would affect the character)
condition.
Shaken: At the cost of 2 reserve points a
character may ignore the effects of shaken. These
reserve points must be spent immediately in
Sickened: At a cost of 1 reserve point for
each round the character would suffer from this
condition the character may ignore the conditions
effects. These reserve points must be spent
condition. A character may choose to only partially
reduce the number of rounds during which he is
sickened and does not have to overcome the full
time.
Expending Reserve Points to Regain

Use of a Class Feature
A character may, as a free action on his turn,
choose to expend reserve points in order to reuse
a class feature that has a limited number of uses
per day.
By permanently spending a number of reserve
points equal to the class level at which the class
feature becomes available the character may use
that feature one more time that day.
Example: A cleric with the ability to turn
undead may do so only a limited number of times per
day. If the cleric finds himself in need of this feature
after he has already used it its maximum number of
times in a single day may permanently expend 1
reserve point to turn undead once again that same
day. A paladin, on the other hand, would need to
permanently spend 4 reserve points to use his turn
undead feature again, since the paladin gains the
class feature at 4th level.
Permanently Spending
Reserve Points
Some of the options presented require
that the character permanently expend
reserve points. This makes these expenditures
particularly painful, as permanent reserve
point loss will weaken a character over time.
The player will need to think through the
expenditure quickly, weighing the current gain
with the long-term loss, before initiating any of
these options.
65
Reserve Point-Related Feats

The following feats were written specifically for use with the reserve point rules detailed above. If you
do not use the reserve point system in your game these feats will prove useless to your game.
Reserve point-related feats are designated as [Reserve] in order to make it easier for a DM to include
the concept in his campaign and to make it easier to identify reserve-point related feats quickly when theyre
presented in a list of other feat types.
Battle Hardened [Reserve]

You possess a greater reserve of energy and vitality to draw upon when you are wounded.
Benefit: Your pool of reserve points is increased by +6.
Faster Recovery [Reserve]

You recover quickly after a fight.
Benefit: Your reserve points transfer into hit points at a rate of 2 per minute of nonstrenuous activity.
Normal: Reserve points typically transfer into hit points at a rate of 1 per minute of nonstrenuous
activity.
Recovery During Battle [Reserve]

You may steal precious seconds during a battle to recover from sustained wounds.
Prerequisite: Battle Hardened, Fast Recovery.
Benefit: A number of times per day equal to one-half (round down) your Fortitude save bonus, as a
standard action, you may make a DC 20 Fortitude save: on a successful save you immediately transfer a
number of reserve points equal to your character level to replenish hit points lost during battle. If this save
fails you permanently lose 1 reserve point.
Replenishing Reserve
Points
Constitution Changes
If a characters Constitution modifier goes
up or down, his reserve points go up or down just
as his hit points do. If a decrease in Constitution
would drop a characters reserve points below 0,
any excess reduction is deducted from his current
hit points.
Characters naturally regain lost reserve points

at the same rate that they naturally heal lost hit
points (see Healing in the SRD). If a character
receives any magical healing, that healing is applied
first to the characters lost hit points. Any excess
healing left over after the characters hit points are
restored to full normal is applied to increase the
characters current reserve point total (up to its
normal maximum).
66
Appendix 2
Defense Bonus
Table: Defense Bonus
In the standard rules, a characters skill at

attacking gets better as he goes up in level but
not so his skill at avoiding attacks. Characters
rely on armor and an ever-growing collection of
magic items to protect them in combat. But what
about campaigns in which its not common or
appropriate for characters to go everywhere in full
plate?
This variant is particularly appropriate for
swashbuckling or stealth-based campaigns, for
settings in which firearms are common, for
seafaring campaigns (in which the characters
would rather not wear armor for fear of drowning),
or any other setting in which armor is not worn on
a day-to-day basiseven by adventurers.

The Class Defense Bonus

In this variant, every character has a defense
bonus based on his character level. The defense
bonus applies to Armor Class. However, it does not
stack with the characters armor bonus. A character
wearing armor gains his armor bonus (including any
enhancement to that bonus) or his defense bonus
whichever is higher but not both. The defense
bonus stacks with all other bonuses to AC, including
the characters shield bonus, natural armor bonus,
and so forth.
Unlike an armor bonus, a defense bonus does
improve a characters AC against touch attacks.
A characters defense bonus is derived from his
character level and class, as shown on Table: Defense
Bonus. For a multiclass character, use the highest
defense bonus of those offered by the characters
classes. For example, a 2nd-level barbarian has a
defense bonus of +4. If the character gains a level
of cleric (becoming a 2nd-level barbarian/1st-level
cleric), her defense bonus increases to +7, because
the clerics +7 at 3rd character level is better than the
barbarians +5 at 3rd character level.

Bonuses For
Other Classes
For classes not mentioned here, determine a
characters class defense bonus based on the armor
proficiency granted by the class (and only that gained
67
from the class you cant take an Armor Proficiency

feat to improve your defense bonus). Consult Table:
Defense Bonus For Other Classes; the defense bonus
progression refers to the indicated column on Table:
Defense Bonus.
For instance, giants are considered proficient

with whatever type of armor (light, medium or heavy)
they are described as wearing. Hill giants, described
as wearing hide armor, therefore have a +2 defense
bonus (hide armor is medium armor). Since this is
lower than the +3 bonus of hide armor, the typical hill
giant probably prefers to wear his armor. A 1st-level
hill giant barbarian, however, would have a defense
bonus of +4, and would benefit from discarding his
hide armor (though hed gain a higher armor bonus
by putting on chainmail or a breastplate).

Accelerated Defense [Defense]

Youve concentrated your combat training in the
art of defense, sacrificing offensive skill in order to
improve your defensive abilities.
Prerequisite: Class level 2+.
Benefit: When calculating your defense bonus
your effective class level is increased by +2. Conversely,
your base attack bonus is treated as if your class level
were one lower than it actually is.
Special: A fighter may select Accelerated
Monsters do not have inherent defense bonuses

unless they also have levels in a class or are normally
proficient with armor. When calculating a monsters
defense bonus to AC, do not include the monsters
base HD or level adjustment (if any).
For example, a typical green dragon, gargoyle or
black pudding has no class levels and is not proficient
with any armor. Such creatures do not get a defense
bonus.
If a creature is proficient with one or more types
of armor, however, it gains a defense bonus. See Table:
Creature Defense Bonuses.
If a creature has levels in a class, it gains a defense
bonus just like any other character with a class. This
bonus does not stack with any defense bonus the
creature may have from armor proficiency.
Improved Accelerated Defense

[Defense]
Youre defensive skills are significantly improved.
Prerequisite: Accelerated Defense.
Benefit: When calculating your defense bonus
your effective class level is increased by +1, for a
total bonus of +3. Additionally, your offensive skills
increase to the point that your base attack bonus is no
longer penalized.
