20. Prerequisite -- When taken, this feat automatically takes the place of one designated prerequisite feat. If you don't really understand Power Attack, why take it? Take Prerequisite instead.

Yes I'm Evil - pre: any evil. Your evil character may make all the self-serving, nasty...even overtly malicious party-disruptive actions he/she chooses and no one may use out of game knowledge to complain about it or change their character's actions in game.

Yes I'm Chaotic - pre: any chaotic. Your chaotic character may make all the crazy, ridiculous...even campaign-derailing actions he/she chooses and no one may use out of game knowledge to complain about it or change their character's actions in game.

Greater Evil/Chaotic - pre: (Yes i'm Chaotic / Yes I'm Evil accordingly) The DM may not use your characters disruptive actions as cause to penalize you in any way. Further the DM must spend countless hours retooling his campaign with fresh material before every session in order to account for your disruptive actions in the prior session.
(This includes taking time to reroll PCs you have killed off directly or indirectly, making new adventure threads to replace the ones you derailed, and introducing plausible threads why the party should stay together.)

26. Silent But Deadly - Once per day, without warning, everyone (including allies) within a 10 foot radius of the wielder must make a Fortitude save or be disgusted for d6 rounds. The DC for the save is 15 plus the wielder's CON bonus. Wielder loses 1 point of Charisma for d4 days.

27. Clear The Room - Prerequisite Silent But Deadly. Effects are the same as Silent But Deadly, except that a Will save is required by each target within range. Once per day, when not engaged in combat, those who fail the save flee the vicinity and normal speed for d4 rounds. DC is the same as per Silent But Deadly.

Condition: Disgusted - No combat effect other than causing the target's expression and words to convey disgust. The charisma penalty suffered by the wielder might, however, affect reactions by opponents.

Optional: Wind speed and direction may modify area of effect at the discretion of the GM.


Any non-combat Feat.

Dark Archive

30. Plus Two Nothing -- Any feat that offers a +2 bonus to some of your skills, usually the rarely used ones. Doesn't stack. Instead, you have to get another feat that offers a higher modifier and invalidates the first one (though is a prerequisite).

Sovereign Court

31.Incoherent Babbling - Usable once during any combat, if through the use of incoherent babbling you can get the GM to ask what the hell you are talking about, your allies gain a +1 to their attack rolls that round. You, however, suffer the following effects:
1. -5 to AC for that round
2. Any critical hit made against you is automatically confirmed
If your incoherent babbling causes any of your allies to chuckle, they instead lose their attack for the round and attacks made against them are made at +1. You still suffer the above listed penalties.

32.Uninsured - You gain a +2 to your FORT saves vs poison and illness. If your character is ever the victim of illness, injury or disease, no healer will heal you for free. Instead you must pay three times the standard amount for the curative magic.

33.Stuntman Wannabe - As a full round action, you may attempt a display of physical prowess and/or ability which will inevitably fail, inflicting 3d6 damage on yourself. Anyone watching the display, friend or foe, must make a WILL save (DC15) or laugh hysterically for 1 round. If their save fails by 5 or more points, the laughter continues for an additional round.

Silver Crusade

37. Practiced Spellcaster

Oh, sorry, wrong thread ... ;-)


38) Battle Plans: You may spend 10 minutes of game time and 1d6x10 minutes of real time discussing a plan of attack against a single named foe or location. After doing so, you gain any one following benefits:

*-4 penalty to initiative, as you failed to account for the enemy going first
*-2 to all saving throws, as you failed to prepare for the inevitable "1" on the d20
*-2 to all attack rolls, since you forgot to flank the enemy so the rogue could sneak-attack after the first round

40. Pain and Suffering

43. Color Vision - You are able to see all colors within your visual acuity range. Whenever you encounter a vibrant color, you must say "ooo, pretty".

Silver Crusade

44. Allergies. You have great courage in holding your ground in the darkest dungeons and most terrifying crypts, because you would just assume not go back outside. As a side effect, you are sickened whenever you are within 10 feet of a creature with the [plant] type.

Sovereign Court

45. Spelunker - You are very adept at making your way through natural caverns and tunnels, halving any penalty assigned to others within the same environments. When you are within an area of worked wood or stone, or in the out of doors, your sense of orientation is put off, resulting in a -2 to attack rolls and checks vs DEX an DEX based skills.


46. Fooled by Randomness -- any plan you make falls apart after the first set of attack dice rolls.

61. Elaborate, Complicated, Ineffectual Maneuver: This feat allows you to make elaborate, acrobatic maneuvers during combat that would "wow" the average passer-by, but serve no actual purpose in combat, provide no bonus to attack or damage, you end up in the exact same square that you started in, and you spend your move action for that turn.
