Feats: I (Part 1 of 5)

Prerequisites trained in Deception, Unexpected Sharpshooter Dedication

Frequency once per hour

Requirements Your previous action was a ranged weapon Strike that missed a foe within 60 feet.

Somehow your stray bullet causes an unintended reaction that creates a problem for your enemy: perhaps a ricochet knocks your foe's weapon away or they stumble over stray debris in an attempt to dodge your bullets. Roll a Deception check to attempt to Shove, Trip, or Disarm the foe you missed.

Prerequisites Pactbound Dedication

The ancient ice-crafting techniques of the graefiadeik kar awaken within you. You become trained in Crafting, or become an expert if you were already trained. You gain the Magical Crafting skill feat. You can craft permanent items out of ice instead of metal or wood; these items are a translucent crystal-blue in color, resemble icicles and glacier ice, and have the same statistics and properties as cold iron, including the price and the ability to deal additional damage to certain kinds of creatures. Any creature who wields or wears a piece of ice-crafted equipment takes 1 cold damage each round from contact with the primal cold of the crafted ice.

LOMM, page 10.

You are as much a creature of cold as whatever ancestry you were born to. You are immune to cold damage and gain the cold trait. You automatically succeed on saving throws against effects that have the cold trait.

Prerequisites Beastbrood

Requirements You're holding something sacred or precious to a creature, such as a relic or personal depiction of their deity or a precious personal memento.

You brandish the precious object you're holding menacingly, at once mocking it and threatening its safety. Attempt to Demoralize the creature whose precious item you threaten. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the Intimidation check to Demoralize, and on a success, the creature is flat-footed for 1 round out of distraction for the object's safety and is stupefied 1 for 1 minute (or stupefied 2 on a critical success). These conditions are both in addition to the normal effects of Demoralize. The creature is then temporarily immune to any Idol Threat using that specific object for 1 day.

You can create a permanent stone object, either sculpting stone pulled directly from your kinetic gate or manipulating earth and stone around you. It must fit within one 5-foot cube that's adjacent to you and on solid ground, and you can make the object large enough to occupy the square. If you create the object underneath you or another willing creature, you cause the target to rise on top of the object; you can't create it under an unwilling creature. This impulse has an unlimited duration, but if you use Igneogenesis again, the object returns to its original location or form. You can spend 1 hour to use Igneogenesis as an exploration activity; in this case, the object is permanent and non-magical.

The object can't include any intricate parts or moving pieces. You can attempt a Crafting skill check as part of using this impulse to add details to your creation, such as a symbol, short message, or pattern (with the DC determined by the GM).

Level (+3) You can add an additional 5-foot cube to the object. Each cube must be contiguous.

The fires of creation become yours to control. You create a miniature sun in a 5-foot burst within 500 feet. A creature takes 7d6 fire damage any time it's in the miniature sun, with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. A creature can take this damage no more than once per round. The sun sheds bright light in a 500-foot emanation (and dim light for another 500 feet); this is sunlight for creatures with a particular vulnerability to sunlight.

The sun lasts until the end of your next turn, but you can Sustain it up to 1 minute. The first time you Sustain the impulse each round, you can choose to increase the size of the sun's burst by 5 feet, then make it Fly up to 30 feet. The sun can move through creatures, damaging them as described above.

The sun continually channels fire into you and your allies. You and each of your allies within the sun's light deal an additional 1d6 fire damage with all Strikes, spells that deal fire damage, and impulses that deal fire damage (except for Ignite the Sun itself). These aren't cumulative with multiple suns.

Requirement You are not fatigued.

Your Strikes flow endlessly. Step and attempt a single gate one-action finisher. This Strike gains the bravado trait, possibly replenishing your panache; if you regain panache, you can immediately attempt another finisher as part of this action, ignoring the restriction of using skill action with the attack trait after a finisher.

Your ancestors spent their days cloaked and cradled in illusions, and as a result, sensing illusion magic is second nature to you. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to both Perception checks and Will saves against illusions. When you come within 10 feet of an illusion that can be disbelieved, the GM rolls a secret check for you to disbelieve it, even if you didn't spend an action to Interact with the illusion.

This feat leads to: Intuitive Illusions and Natural Illusionist.

Fog condenses in a chaotic, swirling pattern, thick enough that it seems to push back against you. You call forth a fog bank in a 10-foot burst within 120 feet. All creatures in the fog are concealed, and all creatures outside the fog become concealed to creatures within it. The fog is so magically dense it impedes movement, making the area difficult terrain. The fog lasts until the end of your next turn, and you can Sustain the impulse up to 1 minute.

You can speak to inanimate objects, finding a magical spark within them similar to the one that animated you. You can cast stone tell once per day as an arcane innate spell, but instead of speaking with natural or worked stone, you speak with toys, statues, or other three-dimensional inanimate objects crafted to mimic a creature's appearance, regardless of their composition. The GM has discretion over which objects you can speak with and what they know, although objects generally have a good opinion of those who have cared for them and a poor opinion of those who have neglected or ignored them.

Prerequisites trained in Arcana, Nature, or Religion; Esoteric Polymath

Your esoteric formulas are so unusual that they allow you to dabble in magic from diverse traditions that other bards don't understand. As long as you're trained in Arcana, you can add arcane spells to your book from Esoteric Polymath; as long as you're trained in Nature, you can add primal spells to your book; and as long as you are trained in Religion, you can add divine spells to your book.

Like your other spells in your book, you can add one of these spells from another tradition to your repertoire as an occult spell each day using Esoteric Polymath, but you can't retain any spells from another tradition when you prepare again, even if you have Eclectic Polymath.

Prerequisites Opportune Riposte

Your ripostes can deflect attacks back at their source. You can use Opportune Riposte with a trigger of "A foe outside of your reach critically fails an attack roll against you" in addition to its usual trigger. When you use Opportune Riposte with this new trigger against a ranged attack, your Strike deflects some of the triggering effect back toward its source. Compare the result of your attack roll to the AC of the triggering foe. On a hit, you deal the normal amount of damage for your Strike, but the damage type changes to that of the triggering attack.

For instance, if you used Opportune Riposte to deflect a ray of frost, your Strike would deal cold damage instead of its normal damage type.

Prerequisites Opportune Riposte

Your ripostes can deflect attacks back at their source. You can use Opportune Riposte with an additional trigger: ‘A foe outside your reach critically fails an attack roll against you.’ When using Opportune Riposte with this trigger against a ranged attack, your Strike deflects part of the attack back toward its source. Compare your attack roll result to the triggering foe's AC. On a hit, you deal your normal damage for the Strike, but the damage type matches that of the triggering attack. For example, deflecting a blazing bolt would cause your Strike to deal fire damage instead of its normal type.
