FEATS VOLUME I

Introduction

How to Use this Book

At Silverthorne Games, we believe in options: options for the DM and options for the players. The feats in this book

are provided to serve such a purpose: to provide alternatives for DMs and players who wish to add more different feats to

their game. Many of the feats in this book appear in other Silverthorne Games’ products – notably our Races of Evernor™

series. The feats taken from the Races of Evernor™ sources have been modified slightly from their original forms in order

to be more easily adaptable to other campaign settings.

While the vast majority of the feats presented in this volume are universally adaptable, there are a few that would

be more suited for non-human, monstrous characters, or NPCs. As always, the DM is the ultimate authority on which feats

are allowed in his or her campaign. Players wishing to use any of these feats for their character should check with their DMs

first.

Feats Format

Each feat is presented in standard format like the feats found in the PHB. Here is a brief layout of how each template

FEAT LIST

Air Breathing [General]

You are able to breathe air.

Prerequisites : Feats: Endurance, Toughness, Special:

Must be an aquatic creature that has difficulty breathing or

cannot breathe in air.

Benefit : The character can breathe air normally, as a

human does.

Normal : The character has great difficulty breathing

air or cannot breathe in air at all.

feat, or item that grants an enhancement bonus to Strength.

Following the use of this feat, the character must rest for one

hour or suffer a -2 penalty on melee attack rolls, damage, and

all saving throws until rested.

Annoyance [General]

You have mastered the art of jeering, making crude or

utterly bizarre hand gestures, and/or other similar behavioral

quirks that drive others to distraction.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Charisma 13+

Benefit: As a standard action, the character may try to

distract any creature or creatures within 30 feet that can see

him. Creatures failing a Will save (DC 10 + the character’s

Charisma bonus + half his level) suffer a –1 circumstance

penalty to attack rolls and skill checks and a -4 penalty to

Concentration. The use of this ability takes one action and

provokes an attack of opportunity.

Ancestral Aid [General]

You can summon the spirit of an ancestor to flank

opponents in melee.

Prerequisites: Ability: Wis 13+, Skills: Knowledge

(Religion or Ancestral History) – 9 ranks; Special: Ability to

cast divine spells

Benefit: During combat, the character calls upon

the spirit of one of his ancestors to assist in flanking

an opponent. The summoned spirit cannot attack, but

is considered to be threatening nevertheless, aiding its

descendent. The ancestral spirit can move at a speed of

20 feet and must always use this movement to get into

a flanking position (it cannot attack or take any other

actions). Summoning the ancestor takes one action and the

summoned spirit remains for 1d4+1 rounds. The ancestral

spirit may be turned or rebuked as an undead equal to one-

half the urstak’s Hit Dice.

Arboreal Ambush [General]

You can use trees and ledges to tactical advantage.

Prerequisites: Ability: Dex 13+, Skills: Climb – 5 ranks,

Hide – 5 ranks

Benefit: The character may leap down on opponents

from heights of no less than 10 feet, gaining the to-hit bonus

of a charge maneuver. A successful Balance check (DC 15 + 1

for every additional 10-foot increment) means the ambushing

character stays on her feet. The victim must make a similar

Balance check or be knocked prone. Leaps of over 20 feet

inflict the appropriate amounts of falling damage to both the

attacker and the defender (see the DMG for complete rules

regarding falling damage).

Ancestral Strength [General]

Characters with this feat can call upon the strength

of their dwarven ancestors to enhance their own physical

strength for a short while each day.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Constitution 13+; Race:

any dwarf or dwarf blood; Skills: Knowledge (Dwarven

History) – 6 ranks; Special: must visit the tomb of a three

different family ancestors or one great dwarven leader.

Benefit: Once per day, a dwarf (or other dwarf-kin)

can summon a portion of the collective might of his or her

ancestors to aid in a given endeavor. The character gains

an enhancement bonus to Strength equal to one-half the

character’s total levels and/or hit dice (rounded down) that

lasts a number of rounds equal to his or her Con bonus.

For example, a fifth level dwarven fighter with a

Con score of 16 using the Ancestral Strength feat would

gain +2 Strength for a total of three rounds. At tenth level,

the same fighter would have a +5 bonus to Strength, and at

twentieth level, the bonus would increases to +10.

This ability does not stack with the effects of a bull’s

strength spell, gauntlets of ogre power, or any other spell,

Arcane Secret [General]

Your scholarship in matters arcane has revealed

ancient secrets pertaining to the more efficient use of

metamagic feats.

Prerequisites: Feats: Spell Focus, any two Metamagic

feats; Skills: Knowledge (Arcana) – 9 ranks, Spellcraft – 9

ranks; Special: Must have the ability to cast arcane spells.

Benefit: A character with this feat can cast spells

prepared with metamagic feats at one effective level less than

normal. For example, a maximized fireball would be prepared

as a sixth level spell, rather than a seventh level spell. An

extended rope trick would be prepared as a second, rather than

a third, level spell.

The type of metamagic feat that the arcane secret

applies to must be specified at the time the character learns

the arcane secret and it cannot be changed thereafter. For

example, Arcane Secret (Silent Spell) would only reduce the

FEATS VOLUME I

effective caster level for spells cast with the Silent Spell feat.

Normal: Metamagic spells are prepared at the normal

required level.

Special: This feat may only be taken once per

metamagic feat.

at will.

Cantrips [General]

You can cast a small number of minor spells per

day.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Charisma 11+, Feats: any one

Metamagic feat

Benefit: Characters can cast three 0-level cantrips

once per day each as a spell-like ability. These spells must be

chosen at character creation and cannot be altered thereafter.

Caster level is equal to a sorcerer of the character’s level.

Normal: Cantrips are selected at character creation

and cannot be changed thereafter.

Breach of Will [General]

You can intimidate others, lowering their ability to

resist mind-affecting spells, abilities, and other effects.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Wis 13+; Feats: Iron Will; Skills:

Bluff - 7 ranks, Intimidate – 7 ranks, Sense Motive – 4 ranks.

Benefit: The character can use effective tactics of

intimidation to erode the willpower of other characters. The

character makes an Intimidate skill check (including synergy

bonuses, if applicable) and the opponent must immediately

make a Will save to resist (DC = 5 + result of Intimidate roll).

If the opponent fails the save, he or she suffers a -1 penalty

to all future Will saves while in the presence of the character

using the feat. For example, an opponent with a Will save

bonus of +5 that fails its save would have a Will save bonus of

+4 for future save attempts. The same character can continue

to make Breach of Will attempts until the opponent reaches

a Will save of -5 or the opponent makes a successful save,

whichever comes first.

Breach of Will takes a full-round action to perform.

If distracted from the character using the feat, the opponent

gains a +4 circumstance bonus to his or her save attempts.

Breach of Will attempts from multiple characters possessing

the feat do not stack. If the character using the feat is knocked

unconscious or slain, the opponents Will save bonus slowly

returns to its original level at a rate of +2 per round.

Cantrips Mastery [Metamagic]

You are able to change the cantrips you can cast on

a monthly basis.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Charisma 13+; Feats:

Cantrips

Benefit: Characters may select their three cantrips on

a monthly basis, rather than having them permanently fixed

at character creation (see Cantrips feat). For example, a

character might select daze, light, and resistance one month

and detect magic, disrupt undead, and open/close the next.

Normal: Spells selected with the Cantrips feat are

set at character creation and cannot be changed thereafter.

Cartilage Skeleton [General]

You show tremendous resilience to bludgeoning

damage of all types due to your cartilage-like bones.

Prerequisites: Abilities: Con 13+, Feats: Toughness.

Benefit: The character reduces all damage sustained

from falling and normal (i.e., non-magical) bludgeoning

attacks by 2 points per die. For example, if the character falls

fifty feet, it takes 5d6-10 points of damage; if it is struck by a

heavy mace (assuming no Strength bonus is added), it takes

1d8-2 points of damage. Magical bludgeoning weapons,

such as a +1 club, inflict normal damage on a mallean.

Normal: Full damage is taken from bludgeoning

weapons.

Breath Weapon Focus [General]

Your breath weapon is more potent or more difficult

to avoid.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +6 or greater; Special:

Must have a breath weapon attack

Benefit: The character gains a +2 inherent bonus to the

save DC of the his breath weapon.

Normal: The character gains no additional bonus to

the save DC of his breath weapon.

Burst of Radiance [Celedhriel]

Prerequisites: Abilities: Charisma 14+; Alignment: Any

good; Skills: Knowledge (Religion) – 6 ranks; Special: Must be

able to cast divine spells

Benefit: A character with this feat can use channel

positive energy through her body to emanate light, as the

orison of the same name, cast by a third level cleric. The light

so created is identical to the spell in all ways, with the following

modifications: the generated light must be centered on the

character and the range is personal rather than touch. Burst

of Radiance is treated as an extraordinary ability and is usable

Constrict [General]

You can use an appendage, tail, or your body to

constrict opponents.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +5; Special: Must

have an appendage, tail, or flexible body mass capable of

grappling and then squeezing opponents.

Benefit: The character may attempt to enwrap an

opponent one size category or smaller than herself with

an appendage, tail, etc., by initiating a grapple. Upon

successfully doing so, the character may deal 1d4 + 1.5 x

Strength bonus points of damage per round. The victim
