It also creates a feat chain wirth taking.
Yeah, I like that second feat a lot too. Though its use is highly dependent on if you deity has domains that could benefit monks.

true enough, that is why i added in the guided hand bypass, so no matter what it has a function.
I really liked Ironbound Master from Inner Sea Gods, but was angered by its very restricting prerequisites. I didn't see why the feat should be restricted as Cleric only and Gorum only. Anyone can train to be in heavy armor. This may seem a little weird, since its handing out a very cool toy of the Fighter, but honestly with how badly I think the Fighter is balanced, I don't mind his toys being given away sometimes.
Ironbound Master (Combat)
You wear your heavy armor like a second skin.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +7, Proficiency with Medium or Heavy Armor
Benefit: You gain the armor training fighter class feature with an effective fighter level equal to your character level –4.
Rewrote Gang Fighter's prerequisites to stop being dumb. And gave it a little buff. The other feat is part of a feat chain including my old feat to give a Ki pool.
Gang Up (Combat)
Prerequisites: Combat Expertise or 1 teamwork feat or 1d6 Sneak Attack Damage
Benefit: You are considered to be flanking an opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning. If actually flanking, you gain a +1 bonus to your melee attack and damage rolls.Ki Channel
Prerequisites: Wisdom 15, Unlocked Potential, Stunning Fist, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: When using Stunning Fist, Quivering Palm, or any feat that requires the foe struck to make a save through an unarmed strike, this character may expend a 1 ki point once per round to raise the DC by 2. In Addition to this, a monk may channel their Wholeness of Body class feature at a range of touch, and it now heals an additional +2 damage. Wholeness of Body can now be used as a swift action when targeting the Monk.Special: This feat can be taken at 10th level as a monk bonus feat.
So Ki Channel lets the monk heal others using wholeness of body. Cool.

I've made an honest effort to find the hold out weapon feat. If you can find what rulebook it comes from, please tell me.
Hold Out Weapon
You can hide a weapon on your person draw it if needed.
Prerequisites The weapon must be small, relative to your body type, and you must have proficiency.
Benefit You gain +2 to hide or draw the weapon whatever skill you use. If your enemy is confident they have caught you unarmed, your foe is caught flatfooted.
Normal Some places such as gambling houses or court of laws insist that everyone else be unarmed, and will have unskilled persons pat everyone who enters down. When a criminal teleports in or a vampire bears their fangs, a smart character will have a weapon.
Special A unicorn can hide a short sword under a saddle blanket with this feat.

i do so love that special line.
I didn't want to start a new thread just for this. Something unique about the fighter is that they are supposed to be the best at wearing armor. Not many other classes have abilities that focus on it and scale with their level the way armor training does. Sadly, armor training is basically ignored when it comes to feats. I made these hoping to remedy that.
Armor Focus (Combat)
Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 to AC while wearing armor. You reduce the check penalty incurred by armor by 1. If you possess the Armor Training class feature this bonus to AC increases for every 5 fighter levels you possess.
Armor Specialization (Combat)
Prerequisites: Fighter 4, Armor Focus
Benefit: Whenever you are wearing armor, you gain DR 1/–. This stacks with the DR gained from the Armor Mastery fighter ability and any DR gained from the material your armor is made from, but not with DR from any other source. If you are wearing medium armor, this DR doubles. If you are wearing heavy armor, this DR triples. If you possess the Armor Training class feature your total DR after being multiplied by armor type is increased by 1 for every 6 Fighter levels possessed. When using a shield and in possession of the shield focus feat, increase the total DR by 1.
Shield Focus (Combat)
Prerequisites: Shield Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to AC and Reflex saving throws when using a shield with which you are proficient. You reduce the check penalty incurred by shields by 1.
speaking of that here is an idea i took from rynjin
Second Skin
Prerequisites:Armor Training 2
Benefit:You can treat all armor worn as if it may a category lighter for the purposes of all effects. armor reduced to less than light in this fashion does not have a maximum dexterity and has no armor check penalties or arcane spell failure.
Looks good to me. We are all fans of armor huh?
Dodge (Combat)
Your training and reflexes allow you to react swiftly to avoid an opponents' attacks.
Prerequisite: Dex 13.
Benefit: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. This bonus increased by one for every six point of your base attack bonus. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.
Mobility (Combat)
You can easily move through a dangerous melee.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge.
Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of a threatened area, you crawl, or stand up. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
Combat Expertise (Combat)
You can increase your defense at the expense of your accuracy.
Prerequisite: Int 13.
Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused by attempting a combat maneuver. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
Point-Blank Shot (Combat)
You are especially accurate when making ranged attacks against close targets.
Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused by making a ranged attack. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
Rapid Assault (Combat)
You can make an additional melee attack.
Prerequisites: Dex 15 or Combat Expertise
Benefit: When making a full-attack action with a light or one-handed weapon weapon, you can make one additional attack with it this round. All of your attack rolls take a –2 penalty when using Rapid Assault. You can not use this ability when attacking with two weapons.
Toughness
You have enhanced physical stamina.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Constitution checks and gain 1 hit point for every Hit Die you possess (minimum 3).
Diehard
You are especially hard to kill. Not only do your wounds automatically stabilize when grievously injured, but you can remain conscious and continue to act even at death's door.
Prerequisite: Endurance.
Benefit: When your hit point total is below 0, but you are not dead, you automatically stabilize. You do not need to make a Constitution check each round to avoid losing additional hit points. You may choose to act as if you were disabled, rather than dying. You must make this decision as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points (even if it isn't your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you immediately fall unconscious.
When using this feat, you are staggered. You can take a move action without further injuring yourself, but if you perform any standard action (or any other action deemed as strenuous, including some swift actions, such as casting a quickened spell) you take 1 point of damage after completing the act. If your negative hit points are equal to or greater than your Constitution score plus your Hit Dice, you immediately die.
Normal: A character without this feat who is reduced to negative hit points is unconscious and dying. A character whose negative hit points are equal to or greater than his Constitution score immediately dies.
Weapon Focus (Combat)
Choose one type of weapon. You can also choose improvised weapon, unarmed strike, a specific combat maneuver, ray, or touch attack as your weapon for the purposes of this feat.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You gain proficiency in the selected weapon (if you selected a weapon) and a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.

s'all good, though i gotta ask is that just to make kineticists more tanky or something?
These aren't feats, but here is a LINK to a document with all of the trait I have written.

...lets avoid the 1000th iteration of scaling feats replacing chains, there are a thousand threads featuring those, plus they are in the New Paths Compendium
Why yes, scaling combat feats are indeed in the New Paths Compendium :)
You know, just in case anyone wanted to check 'em out for themselves:)

I actually made these before OA came out. They were originally for one of my players who rolled a one for hit points every level five levels in a row, and only had a +1 Con.
I ended up having a Barbarian take them all at one point though, and he was a beast.
