Feats: L (Part 2 of 3)

Prerequisites Morogrotrud Recollection

Thanks to Lemorel's secret techniques, you can weave your knowledge and words into powerful tools to assist your allies in life-threatening situations. When you use Morogrotrud Recollection to tell a story and Recall Knowledge about a creature during a combat encounter, if you succeed at both checks, your story carries deeper meaning.

This grants your allies a +1 circumstance bonus to their next attack roll and saving throw against the creature during that encounter, as well as to their AC against that creature's next attack roll during that encounter. If you critically succeed at both checks, the bonuses also apply to all attack rolls, saves, and AC against that creature for 2 rounds.

Prerequisites Leaf order

You gain a leshy familiar, a Tiny plant or fungus that embodies one of the many spirits of nature. Other than taking the form of a plant or fungus instead of an animal, this familiar uses all the same rules as other familiars, which are detailed on page 217.

Prerequisites leaf order

You call a minor Spirit instinct of Nature into a plant body, creating a leshy companion to aid you in your spellcasting. You gain a familiar, which has your choice of either the plant or fungus familiar ability (page 212); this doesn't count against your usual limit of familiar abilities (typically 2). The spirit you call has a more tenuous connection to its plant body than fully independent leshies, so it is Tiny in size like other Familiars.

Prerequisites leaf order

The leaf order's secrets allow your familiar to take advantage of its leshy form. You can select one additional familiar ability each day, which must be one of the following leshy familiar abilities. You can't select more than one leshy familiar ability at a time.

• Grasping Tendrils Your familiar can extend vines or similar tendrils, increasing its reach to 15 feet.
• Purify Air Your familiar recycles air, providing enough oxygen for a Medium creature in areas with stale air, such as a sealed chamber or extradimensional space. If the leshy is within the area of an inhaled poison effect or an effect that relies on smell, creatures within a 15-foot emanation from the leshy gain a +2 circumstance bonus to their saving throws against the effect.
• Verdant Burst When your familiar dies, it releases its primal energy to cast the 3-action version of heal, heightened to a level 1 lower than your highest-level spell slot. The heal spell gains a status bonus equal to twice the spell's level to the Hit Points it restores to plants. You must be able to cast 2nd-level spells using spell slots to select this familiar ability.

Prerequisites Drow Shootist Dedication, trained in Crafting

You've learned more than the use of hand crossbows from drow lore. During your daily preparations, you can prepare a dose of lethargy poison from ordinary materials in a wilderness or urban area.

Only you can use these poisons, and they expire the next time you make your daily preparations.

Prerequisites expert in Society, and either Courtly Graces or Streetwise

You know the right people who can get things done for you in certain circles. Once per week, when you're in an area that has an established group of influential nobles, mercantile elites, or the like (if you have Courtly Graces), or a network of unsavory characters such as a thieves' guild (if you have Streetwise), you can use Society to Request a favor or Aid from those people as if they were friendly to you. Your Requests must make sense for the type of people you contact. For instance, a member of the royal court could secure you a proper invitation to a fancy ball, while a local burglar could point out a way to stealthily infiltrate that same party. If you critically succeed this check, your connection gives a piece of helpful advice or lets you in on a small secret, granting you or a member of your party a +2 circumstance bonus to the first skill check you attempt when acting on the favor. If you critically fail this check, you might have to Perform some service for your connection to get back in their good graces, as determined by the GM.
