All hero's should have some style...

The following flavor feats have been selected as rewards for extraordinary play. These feats were selected to color the game and make it fun without overpowering the characters. Few have any prerequisite feats (prerequisites are in parenthesis following feat name), although some were so cool (like Channel Energy) that they made the list and in those cases the prerequisite is here too. This list will resurface from time to time so, feel free to choose a prerequisite feat. You can also pick from this list when you are normally allowed a feat. Some of these feats require specific skills (like Profession(merchant)). Choosing one of these feats without the skill required would render it inactive until the skill is acquired. Most are not simply +3 to x-and-such save type of feats, they involve benefits under circumstances dictated by situations. Some have been slightly modified. There are a lot of skill feats here, wherever possible i tried to choose interesting tangential skills to enhance your character rather than those that would make your character more powerful (so Mechanical Aptitude... +2 on Disable Device. +2 on Open Locks is not on the list, while Low Key... +2 on Disguise. +2 on Hide is) In short i picked them to make the game more fun, and add depth to (not necessarily optimize) your character. All of these were chosen from the large feat list i emailed out a while back, so if you have any questions about the where they came from or how I modified them, consult that document. If there is a feat you would prefer instead from any source (or made up) that you feel meets these criteria, let me know and i'll consider it.

Once per encounter, you can take a free action to intimidate all opponents you can make eye contact with within 30 feet of you. All opponents with less levels than you make a Will save with DC 10 + your CHA modifier + 1/2 your level (round down). If they fail, they are shaken (-2 attack, -2 damage, -2 saves) with fear for 1d6 + your level in rounds.

Stealthy Casting (DEX 14+, Hide skill 4+, Move Silently 6+, Spellcraft skill 6+)
You may hide the casting of a spell by making a Spellcraft check opposed by the Spot (if somatic or material component) or Listen (if verbal component) checks of anyone that might notice you casting a spell. If the spell has no somatic component but has a material component, the Spot check is at -5. If you read from a scroll, the Spot check is at +5.

Steely Gaze
+2 on Intimidate checks. You can use Intimidate as a move equivalent action (instead of a full round action).

Street Smart
+2 on Bluff. +2 on Gather Information.

Strength of the Earth (Toughness {1})
You gain an additional 1 hit point per level. This applies retroactively to all previously gained levels.

Talented {2} (Chosen skill at 2+, Chosen skill's base ability 13+)
Choose one skill. You get +1 in that skill. Your maximum rank in that skill is increased by 1. That skill is always an in class skill for you.

Taunt {1}
You may taunt an opponent as a free action. Make an opposing Will check against one opponent. If successful, the opponent suffers a -2 attack penalty but receives a +1 damage bonus on their next attack. Only works on opponents of INT 3+ (not animals) that understand you.

Taunt {2} (CHA 13+)
You may taunt an opponent as a standard action. Make a CHA check opposed by the opponent's WIS check. If you succeed, the opponent will ignore others in order to attack you (unless an obvious greater threat exists). Your opponent gets +1 to hit you and -1 AC for as long as he or she tries to attack you.

Thick Skin (aka Thick Hide)
You can take this feat once each for cold and heat. +4 on Fortitude saves to resist subdual damage from very hot or very cold environments (choose one).

Thrall to Demon (Evil aligned)
You are the servant of a demon. Once per day you may take a +1 luck bonus on any one die roll while performing an evil act. GM - must fit backstory - this feat definitely carries baggage ;)

Torturer (Non-good align, Intimidate skill 1+)
For every 10 minutes you spend working on a captive with the proper tools, they take 1d6 damage and you make opposed Will saves. If the victim fails, they will answer one question truthfully. Every ten minutes past the first adds a -2 penalty to their Will save.

Traceless (INT 13+)
You add your INT bonus to the DC to notice your presence or passage either currently or previously. If you are no longer present and this makes the DC go above 10, then a Track attempt is required to trace your steps. No one may take 10 or take 20 to notice your presence or passage.

Twist of the Knife (Sneak attack +1d6, Weapon Focus (dagger))
When using a dagger (or similar weapon), your critical threat range is increased by 1 and the weapon inflicts 1d6 instead of 1d4damage.

Ugly Bastard
In a situation where your bad personality and frightening viasage would work to your advantage, use your negative CHA modifier as a positive. Think intimidate etc.

Unlocked Potential
This feat can be taken multiple times for the same skill or for different skills. Choose an in-class skill. Your maximum rank in that skill is increased by 3.

Verminfriend (CHA 15+, non good)
If a vermin is about to attack you, make a CHA check DC 20 to make it refuse to attack you for 24 hours.

Versatile
This feat can be taken multiple times. Select two cross-class skills. These are always in-class skills for you.

War Wizard Tactics (Wizard level 1+, Martial Weapon Prof., +3 Base Attack)
For one attack each round, you may use your INT bonus to hit instead of your STR or DEX bonus.

Weapons of Opportunity (+4 Base Attack)
You can use virtually any mundane item as if it were a weapon without penalty. Damage depends on item size: tiny=1d3, small=1d4, medium=1d6, large= 1d8.
