FEAT 10

wizard 

During your daily preparations, you can create two temporary scrolls containing arcane single spell from your spellbook. Each scroll must be of a different spell rank, and both spell ranks must be 2 or more ranks lower than your highest-rank spell. Any scrolls you create this way become non-magical the next time you make your daily preparations. A temporary scroll has no value if sold.

As normal for a scroll, these are consumable uncommon weapons of light Bulk, and someone holding the item in one hand can Cast the Spell from it if it’s on their spell list, using their spell attack modifier and spell three temporary scrolls during your daily preparations, and if you have legendary proficiency, you can create four temporary scrolls.

This scroll is an unstable, temporary item and loses its magic the next time you make your daily preparations if you haven't used it by then. It can't be used to Learn the Spell.

At 8th level, add a second temporary scroll containing a 2nd-level spell.

Scroll Thaumaturgy

FEAT 1

thaumaturge 

Your multidisciplinary study of magic means you know how to activate the magic in scrolls with ease. You can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll's DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica.

This feat leads to: Scroll Esoterica.

Scrounger Dedication

FEAT 2

uncommon archetype dedication 

Prerequisites trained in Crafting

You can Craft items even without appropriate tools or a workshop, though you take a –2 item penalty to your Crafting check. Additionally, you don't need a physical formula book to remember all of your formulas; you pay the same cost as normal to learn them, but you memorize them all.

You can Craft temporary items out of anything, anywhere, with whatever materials happen to be on hand, spending only 10 minutes to perform the initial Crafting check. The temporary item must be common, non-magical, 1st level or lower, and must be a weapon, armor, or a nonconsumable piece of adventuring gear (nonconsumable adventuring gear appears on Table 6–9 on page 288 of the Core Rulebook)

Instead of a single item, you can create 10 pieces of a single type of ammunition. This is a shoddy item, but you don't take the normal penalty when using shoddy items you made using this feat. Your temporary item lasts for 1d4 hours before falling apart into its raw components; the GM rolls the number of hours secretly. You can create only the physical item, not any information or magic, so for example, while you could create a blank journal or one of random pages, you couldn't use it as a scholarly journal or a religious text.

You can incorporate any materials or items that you have on hand, even if they're not the type of materials that would ordinarily be used to Craft a given item, though you must have enough volume of material to make the item you want. Unless all the materials you used were an appropriate type to make the item, you take a –5 penalty to the Crafting check (or a –10 penalty if the materials you used were particularly unsuitable, as determined by the GM).

Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the scrounger archetype.

This feat leads to: Expert Disassembly, High-quality Scrounger, and Reverse Engineering.

Scrounger Dedication

FEAT 2

uncommon archetype dedication 

Prerequisites trained in Crafting

While others need specialized tools and a dedicated space, you have found a way to build just about anything, anywhere.

You can Craft items even without appropriate tools or a workshop. Additionally, you don’t need a physical formula book to remember all of your formulas; you pay the same cost as normal to learn them, but you memorize them all. You gain the Cobble Together activity.

Cobble Together (exploration) You Craft a temporary item (page 174) out of anything, anywhere, with whatever materials happen to be on hand, spending only 10 minutes to perform the initial Crafting check. The temporary item must be one you’ve memorized or have the formula for, and must be common, non-magical, half your level or lower, and must be a weapon, armor, or a non-consumable piece of adventuring gear (non-consumable adventuring gear appears on page 291 of Player Core). Instead of a single item, you can create 10 pieces of a single type of ammunition. You can create only the physical item, not any information or magic, so for example, while you could create a blank journal or one with random pages, you couldn’t use it as a scholarly journal or a religious text.

An item you Cobble Together is a shoddy item, but when creating it you can choose one creature to build it specifically for. That creature doesn’t take the normal penalty for using this shoddy item. Your temporary item lasts for 1d4 hours the number of hours secretly.

Scrutinizing Gaze

FEAT 13

uncommon dwarf 

Access You are from Zouzeikod or Tobraid.

Your family's traditions of defending against Falaiziavrul's undead have granted you a sixth sense for detecting spirits, haunts, and other restless dead, no matter their form or the strength of their presence. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks to Sense Motive when trying to determine if a creature is possessed or under the influence of an effect that would make them controlled, a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks made to see through disguises worn by undead, and a +2 circumstance bonus when using the Seek action to find hidden or undetected haunts or undead within 30 feet of you.

If you aren't using the Seek action or searching, the GM automatically rolls a secret check for you to notice haunts or undead within 30 feet anyway. This check doesn't gain the usual +2 circumstance bonus, and instead takes a –2 circumstance penalty.

Sculpt Shadows [>>>]

FEAT 9

conjuration fetchling occult shadow 

You coax nearby shadows into the shape of a simple weapon or a simple tool or item, using a tiny piece of your shadow to make it solid; in doing so, you lose 1 Hit Point. You can create only level-0 common, non-consumable weapons, or adventuring gear with no intricate parts, written text, or other complicated components.

The item lasts until used for a single activity, until you Sculpt Shadows again, or for 1 minute, whichever comes first. Once the duration expires, the object dissipates, and you regain the lost Hit Point unless the item was Broken or Destroyed. As the object holds a tiny sliver of your shadow, you can't recover the lost Hit Point until after the object dissipates.

Sea Glass Guardians [>]

FEAT 12

impulse kineticist primal stance water 

Eerily beautiful elemental water beings race around you, eager to protect and heal you and your allies. Their forms vary and might include eels formed of undulating water or ice crystals whirling in the shape of a jellyfish. The guardians flow around combatants and don't occupy a space. They attempt to intercept all dangers, granting you and your allies within your kinetic aura a +1 status bonus to AC and saving throws.

If any creature affected is critically hit or critically fails at a saving throw against an attack, effect from an enemy, or hazard and remains above 0 HP, the guardians reach out to heal that creature. The creature regains 4d8+8 Hit Points, and the impulse ends. If the creature is in water, the healing dice are d10s instead of d8s.

Level (+3) The healing increases by 1d8+4.

FEAT 2

fire healing inventor manipulate unstable 

They told you there was no way that explosions could heal people, but they were fools... Fools who didn't understand your brilliance! You create a minor explosion from your innovation, altering the combustion to cauterize wounds using vaporized medicinal herbs. You or a living creature adjacent to you regains 1d10 Hit Points. In addition, the creature you heal can attempt an immediate flat check to recover from a single source of persistent bleed damage, with the DC reduction from appropriate assistance.

At 3rd level, and every 2 levels thereafter, increase the healing by 1d10.

Special If your innovation is a minion, it can take this action rather than you, though because it's not a living creature, it can't use the ability on itself.

You divert some of your spell’s energy into an unstable runic array. If your next action is to Cast a Spell that deals damage, has no duration, and affects an area, a glowing magic circle appears in a 5-foot burst within that area. At the beginning of your next turn, the circle detonates, dealing 1d6 force damage per rank of the spell to all creatures within the circle, with a basic Reflex save the circle deals this type of damage instead (or one type of your choice if the spell could deal multiple types of damage).

Secret Speech

FEAT 1

uncommon general skill 

Prerequisites trained in Deception

Choose a secret society (such as the Stiamoreim or the Thaigred Network). You've learned that society's secret cant or jargon, enabling you to share condition hidden messages when signing or speaking with others who've also learned it. If an observer succeeds at a Perception check against your Deception DC when you do this, they realize you are passing a message but fail to discern its content, unless they subsequently succeed at a Society check against your Deception DC. On a critical success, they learn not only the message, but also who you're passing the message to.

Special You can take this feat multiple times. You learn the secret speech of a different society each time.

Secrets Of Shadow

FEAT 12

archetype 

Prerequisites Shadow Reservoir

Your shadow's voice grows ever clearer; it whispers secrets of true power to you and shields your flesh from harm.

Your shadow reservoir gains an additional spell 1 level below the highest level spell you can cast, in addition to the spells it already contains for all the levels below that.

In addition, the tattoos generated by casting shadow spells protect your body against harmful energies. You gain negative resistance equal to the highest level of spell you can cast from spell slots; if you have negative healing (or are otherwise harmed by positive damage and not negative damage), you instead gain positive resistance in the same amount.

Security

FEAT 4

champion 

Prerequisites shields of the Spirit instinct

Those you shield can benefit from your lasting protection. You can Cast shields of the Spirit instinct using 2 skill action instead of single gate. If you do, you can choose one ally in your divine smite’s aura to gain a spirit shield that accompanies it. For 1 minute, that ally gains the benefits of shields of the Spirit instinct, even while the ally isn’t in your divine smite’s aura and even if your shield isn’t raised. If you create another companion shield, any previous one ends.

You notice things that others can't see at all. While you're adjacent to an undetected creature of your level or lower, it is instead only hidden from you. You only need a successful DC 5 flat check to target a hidden creature.

Seedpod

FEAT 1

leshy 

Your body produces a nearly endless supply of hard seedpods. You gain a seedpod ranged unarmed attack with a range increment of 10 feet that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage; these Strikes have the manipulate trait. On a critical hit, a seedpod bursts, issuing forth a tangle of vegetation that imposes a –10-foot circumstance penalty on the target's Speed for 1 round. Seedpods do not add critical specialization effects.

This feat leads to: Thorned Seedpod.

FEAT 14

archetype divination magical

Seeker Of Truths

FEAT 4

archetype 

Prerequisites Eldritch Researcher Dedication

Your devotion to discovering and hoarding abstruse truths borders on the fanatical, and you can bring this devotion to bear. You gain the cleric's Domain Initiate feat but must select knowledge, secrecy, or truth as your domain. You cast that domain's domain spell as a focus spell of the same tradition as your cantrip from Eldritch Researcher Dedication, and you Refocus by contemplating abstruse mysteries rather than praying to a god. When an ability would manifest a divine symbol—such as the word of truth focus spell—it instead manifests as a strange shape unique to you that seems to defy geometry.

Special You can take this feat up to three times, selecting a different domain each time.

This feat leads to: Advanced Seeker Of Truths.
