[Apologies if this is a double post, postmonster might or might not have eaten my first attempt, he's unpredictable that way...]
Complete Arcane had a selection of Feats that granted a few spells (usually cantrip and 1st level) as spell-like abilities; Communicator, Insightful, Necropolis Born, Night Haunt, Soul of the North and Spell Hand.
Since they aren't OGL, and I wanted to make use of Feats that confer some SLAs as a 'power source' to replace Wild Talent in my conversion of the Soulknife into a magical class option, I've decided to whip up some SLA granting feats, based off of monster abilities or racial abilities that confer SLAs.
(Since they already have SLAs, Gnomes, Dark Elves, Duergar, Deep Gnomes and similar races wouldn't have to take a Feat to qualify for the Arcane Soulknife, just as naturally psionic races don't have to take Wild Talent to qualify for the psionic Soulknife.)
Each of these feats fairly obviously derives from some sort of unusual heritage, or some sort of unusual gift from an innately magical race or species.

Very nice. I'm in a 3.5 Age of Worms game with a player who loves SLA feats. I'll have to direct her this way.

Glad ya like 'em. The Complete Arcane ones, much like the 3.5 Gnome SLA (stuck at CL 1) were sub-par, IMO, but with the Pathfinder Gnome having it's SLAs at character level, I felt free to open up these Feats and make them a little more useful.
Some of the critters were a bit fun to pick and choose appropriate 'bloodline gifts' or 'pact blessings' for. It's amazing how different the powersets are for 'demons' 'tieflings' and 'half-fiends' given that they are all supposed to be flavors of the same meal...

Bumping thread to hopefully generate incentive for more of these SLA feats if Set is at all interested in doing so.
These look great Set.
Thanks!
I mainly wanted a variety of them for an Arcane Soulknife concept (since it would need some inherent magical power source, just as a psionic Soulknife needs some inherent power points), but some of them might be fun as 'bloodline feats lite' for non-Sorcerers.
