[Rogue Genius] Feat Reference Document


Product Discussion


Every feat you don't already have!

The Feat Reference Document will be up on Paizo in pdf sometime soon (I'd guess next week, since some folks are out of the office). But you can get it right now on DriveThru and everywhere our pdfs are normally available, and a print version will also be available on DTRPG soon.

This book is "Everything You Don't Already Have!!"

The Feat Resource Document has over 700 feats from the publisher of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook! It's the ultimate compilation of feats that aren’t in the online Resource Document, taken from more than 100 adventures, companions and campaign sourcebooks.

All are in as close to their original format as possible with only those flavor changes required to make them 100% Open Game Content. Additionally, every feat has any word changes highlighted, so it's easy to determine if a feat has been modified in any way from the original published version, and all the needed rules sub-sets are included (so if you take Dragoncrafting, or Deific Obedience, all the rules needed to use those feats are in the Appendix).

So stop flipping through scores of splatbooks looking for exactly what you need to make a villain memorable, tie a hero to his homeland, or properly use a dwarven chain-flail. Instead, get everything you need in The Feat Reference Document! It's the ultimate Pathfinder-compatible companion rulebook.


Nice. This is very useful. I'll be looking it up. @ $15, it's worth it.

I look forward to your thoughts once you have it. :)


The Feat Resource Document has feats for familiars. Feats for cohorts. Feats for assassins the GM wants to throw at the PCs that forces them to make an opposed Sense Motive check in the surprise round to even realize the fight has begun.


The Feat Reference Document is now available here at Paizo!

More than 700 feats from over 100 Paizo products not covered in the PRD!


The next big question, obviously, is what do we follow this up with.

The two most common requests is a second FRD, with the best 3pp feats, and an equipment book with Paizo-published gear that isn't in the Ultimate Equipment Guide.

Thoughts?

Silver Crusade

3rd party feats book!!!


Well since you're the first person with an opinion, do you want every feat imaginable or just those from certain companies? Have them be revised and developed to be balanced and make sense, or just print them all the way they first appeared?


Didn't Kobold Press put out a massive Feat tome - Advanced Feats or similar?
Perhaps not those ones?

Or, yes, definitely those ones if it's an "every feat published by 3PP's" PDF.

Silver Crusade

I would love to see these companies....

Rogue Genius Games (you guys alone have a lot of feats bullet points and all)

Kobold Press

I say Dreamscarred Press, but I own Ultimate Psionics so I am not sure what other feats they have.

Rite Publishing (especially the renegade feats).

TPK games usually puts feats in their books with the new classes and such.
(I would not include the laying waste feats because that is a different system, and I have the laying waste hardcopy also).

That would be a great start right there.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If you guys are doing a 3pp feat compendium, then please please avoid all the pointless little feats that give a small bonus to a skill or bonus to attack under very limited circumstances etc etc.

Focus on the feats that are generally 'worth the slot.'


I suspect we'd have to keep to *about* the same feat count, so 750 or so as an upper limit.

Obviously updated and revised versions of all our own feats. It sounds like a curated selection of other 3pp feats is the most popular choice.


yes, curated.

There are so many that are essentially duplicates of each other, and too many others are obviously over- or under- powered.

Then there's just good writing to consider.

So, yes, curated. About the same feat count would be great.


In addition to the 3rd party options, what about a spell reference document? There are lots of interesting spells stashed in various campaign source books. Wouldn't mind a consolidation there as well.


I don't know how viable a product it would be but a "master spell list" combining all the short descriptions of all Paizo, RGG, Kobold, Necro of NW, Rite and such. With which book they are found in.


For those of you who prefer print books, the Feat Reference Document is now available in print at DriveThruRPG. Unfortunately since there's no print-on-demand service hooked up to Paizo, and our margins are so low, there's no economic way for us to offer the print version here (though we'll always have our pdfs here).

Don't know if they are covered by the same rules but what about an Archetype Reference Document, would that be doable?

It's certainly legal under the license. The main question is if people would find it useful enough.

With feats, a single character will select many feats over the course of a career. On the other hand, normally each character has at most one archetype )and many have zero).

I certainly have no objection to the idea, if folks thought it would be a resource they'd want. Who else likes the idea?

Perhaps separate products for each class containing their archetypes?

THAT is not a bad idea. It would also let me compile related rules bits, like barbarian's rage powers or rogue talents. Then players could just pick up the classes they were interested in. (And eventually they could all get compiled)

Definitely a thought.

Dark Archive

Hell, why not just make an piecemeal series for ALL Paizo PF classes? Each containing the base class, ALL Paizo archetypes for it, feats specifically designed to work with it, and spell lists (when appropriate).

If you want to play a barbarian, *BOOM*, here is the product. Same for the other classes.

Obviously, folks will still need to reference the Core rules for skills and such, unless someone makes a comprehensive skill book containing the basic skill rules from chapter 4 of the Cure Rulebook, plus things like the skill unlocks from Unchained, and other Paizo published PF skill rules from other books.

Just some thoughts...


just posting so I can look this up later.

that would be really handy

one booklet for all the scattered bits and pieces for a specific class.

I'm playing a Crypt Breaker Alchemist for Mummy's mask and I'm having a devil of a time tracking down discoveries and such from different books. I know there is a Healing Bomb discovery someplace but I'll be damned if I know where it is.

A nice little booklet with all the Alchemist archetypes, discoveries and sporatic non-hardcover book spells would be nice to have

Magical Marketplace, page 20. :)

Thank you for that


I do think doing class-specific books for each class makes a *lot* of sense. We're looking at how to best handle that now.

So... have you looked us up yet?
