[THINK TANK] General Feats

[quest-master]

Okay so here is a thread for the discussion and fan-submission of general feats.

I'll start this off with a few feats of my own.

ECLECTIC EDUCATION
Prerequisite: Int 11
Benefit: You can make untrained Knowledge checks for a DC up to 15 (basic questions).
You get a +2 bonus to checks with Knowledge skills that you are trained in.
Normal: You can make an untrained Knowledge check for a DC only up to 10 (really easy questions).

SCHOLARLY EDUCATION
Prerequisite: Int 13, Eclectic Education
Benefit: You can make untrained Knowledge checks for a DC up to 20 (moderate questions).
You get a +2 bonus to checks with Knowledge skills that you are trained in.

PRODIGIOUS EDUCATION
Prerequisite: Int 15, Scholarly Education
Benefit: You can make untrained Knowledge checks for a DC up to 25 (tough questions).
You get a +2 bonus to checks with Knowledge skills that you are trained in.

For characters that were raised in noble houses or urban settings or by travelling merchants, this would be a good feat for establishing role-playing background. Wizards that attended prestigous universities might take these feats on their way to becoming loremasters.

If Bardic Knowledge remains the way it currently is in Alpha 3, this would be especially useful for bard players.

Tactical Offense
Benefit: If you gain a flanking bonus against a foe you also gain a +2 flanking bonus to damage. If an ally gains a flanking bonus against a foe thanks to you, that ally also gains a +2 flanking bonus to damage. Note that these two flanking bonuses to damage will stack with each other, though not with any other flanking bonus. Thus, if you have this Feat and gain a flanking bonus thanks to someone else who also has this Feat, you gain a +4 flanking bonus to damage.

(Edited out of Combat Feat think tank because I think this is better as a General Feat.)

Hmmm... we posted some Background Feats and Racial Feats on Alpha 2 forum. I think one of them, at least, was 'Academic Background' or something like that? Jason said that he's probably going to include Racial Feats in the game (eventually in the "finished" Pathfinder RPG in 2009), but I hope that he'll also include some Background Feats/Builds in PF, too.

I'm all for new and well-designed Feats, but I think they should be posted on the New Rule Suggestions -threads.
