You still may be sneak attacked when flanked.
Familiar Concentration
In the tradition of Narfell's ancient summoners, your familiar can concentrate to maintain spells for you.
PRE: Improved Familiar, caster level 9th.
When you cast a spell requiring concentration, you can designate your familiar as the "concentrator". At any time during the spell's duration, you cna hand over control of it to your familiar as a free action, provided the creature is within 5 feet of you and its Intelligence score is at least 10 + the level of the spell. The familiar then concentrates to maintain and direct the spell just as you would. You cannot take back control of a spell once you have transferred it to your familiar.
Far Look
You have looked deep into the Far Realm, and power has answered...but at what cost?
PRE: Spellcaster level 1st, Cerebrosis
You gain one extra spell slot in your daily allotment that you can use to cast any cerebrosis-granted spell that you know. This extra slot can be at any level up to the highest-level spell you can cast. If you prepare your spells, you must decide at the time of preparation for the day what level and what spell you'd like for that day. If you cast your spells like a Sorcerer, you have an extra "floating" slot that can be used at any time at any level with a cerebrosis spell you known.
The strain this ability demands upon your mere fleshy brain incurs a -2 penalty to your Wisdom score.
You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take it you gain an extra spell slot at any level that can be used to cast a cerebrosis-granted spell and you suffer an additional -2 penalty to your Wisdom score. If at any time you suffer so much Wisdom damage that your Wisdom score goes to 0, the strain on your mind breaks wide and you are subject to the effects of a Finger of Expulsion spell as if cast on yourself by yourself (you gain a saving throw, but at your newly reduced Wisdom score).
Far Shot
You can get greater distance out of a ranged weapon.
PRE: Point Blank Shot
When you use a projectile weapon, such as a bow, its range increment increases by one-half (multiply by 1-1/2). When you use a thrown weapon, its range increment is doubled.

Favored Critical
PRE:Base Attack 5+, at least one Favored Enemy
Select one of your Favored Enemies that is normally subject to critical hits. Whenever you attack this type of creature, the threat range of whatever weapon you are using is doubled.

Favored Dodge
Study of your favored enemy's movements allows you to dance away from its most viscious attacks.
PRE: Dodge, favored enemy
Select a favored enemy. When fighting a creature of that type you may add your favored enemy bonus to your Armor Class as a dodge bonus. This bonus apllies to your AC against creatures of the appropriate type only. If you lose your DEX bonus to AC for any reason, you also lose this dodge bonus.
You may take this feat multiple times. It's effects do not stack; each time you select a different favored enemy.
Favored Power Attack
You are able to deal more damage against your favored enemy.
PRE: Base attack bonus +4, Power attack, Favored enemy

Feign Weakness
PRE:Base Attack 2+, Improved Unarmed Strike
If you make a successful Bluff check against your opponents Sense Motive check, you lure the foe into attempting an attack of opportunity because he thinks you are unarmed. But you are armed, and you make your attack against your drawn-out foe who is caught flat footed, before he takes his attack of opportunity.
You may also attempt this maneuver with a Tiny or Small weapon with which you are proficient by attempting to hide it until the last second, but you incur a -2 or -6 penalty on your Bluff check, respectively. You can use this maneuver with a disguised weapon, such as a war fan, with no penalty to the Bluff check.
Using Feign Weakness is a standard action, just like a feint, except that if you succeed you get to make your attack immediately. You can only Feign Weakness once per encounter. After one use, your opponents are too wary to fall for this maneuver again.
Fists of Iron
PRE: Base attack +2, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist
You have learned the secrets of imbuing your unarmed attacks with extra force. Declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a missed attack roll ruins the attempt).

Fleet of Foot

When running or charging, you can make a single direction change of 90 degrees or less. You cannot use this feat in medium or heavy armor, or if you are carrying a medium or heavier load.

Freezing the Lifeblood
PRE: Wis 17, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Base Attack Bonus +10
Declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a missed attack roll ruins the attempt). Against a humanoid opponent you can make an unarmed attack that deals no damage, but has a chance of paralyzing your target. If your attack is successful, your target must attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis Modifier). If the target fails this saving throw, it is paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Each attempt to paralyze an opponent counts as one of your uses of the Stunning Fist feat for the day. Creatures immune to stunning cannot be paralyzed in this manner.

You get along well with creatures of earth and stone.
PRE: Devotee of elemental earth, memeber of the Earthborn or a similar earth-focused sect or organization

Greater Resiliency
PRE: Damage Reduction as a class feature or innate ability
Your damage reduction increases by +1/-. If it would normally rise thereafter with level, it does so at its previous rate, adding the +1 normally. You may not take this feat more than once. This feat has no effect on the type of weapon or damage that overcomes your damage reduction. If you have more than one form of damage reduction, choose which to increase when you take this feat.
Greater Spell Focus
Choose a school of magic to which you already have applied the Spell Focus feat. Your spells of that school are now even more potent than before.
Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic you select. This bonus stacks with the bonus from Spell Focus.
You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new school of magic to which you already have applied the Spell Focus feat.
Greater Spell Penetration
Your spells are remarkably potent, breaking through spell resistance more readily than normal.

Creatures immune to sneak attack damage and creatures with no legs or with more than four legs cannot be slowed down with a hamstring attack. It takes two successful hamstring attacks to affect quadruples. Other speeds (fly, burrow and so on), aren't affected. You may use this ability once per round.

PRE: Corpsecrafter
Every undead you raise or create with any necromancy spell gains a +2 natural armor bonus to Armor Class.
Heighten Turning
You can affect more powerful creatures with your turning or rebuking attempts.
PRE: When you turn or rebuke creatures, you may choose a number no higher than your cleric (or other appropriate class) level. Add that number to your turning check, while subtracting it from your turning damage roll.
If you're not a cleric (or other equivalent class), you may choose a number no higher than your effective cleric level (for instance, a paladin could choose a number up to two less than his paladin level). If a prestige class increases your effective turning level, use your effective turning level.
High Society
You know good manners and were trained to handle social interactions in noble circles.
PRE: Diplomacy 4 ranks

Hover
A creature can come to a halt in midair.
PRE: Fly speed
When flying, the creature can halt its forward motion and hover in place as a move action. It can then fly in any direction, including straight down or straight up, at half speed, regardless of its maneuverability.
If a creature begins its turn hovering, it can hover in place for the turn and take a full-round action. A hovering creature cannot make wing attacks, but it can attack with all other limbs and appendages it could use in a full attack. The creature can instead use a breath weapon or cast a spell instead of making physical attacks, if it could normally do so.
If a creature of Large size or larger hovers within 20 feet of the ground in an area with lots of loose debris, the draft from its wings creates a hemispherical cloud with a radius of 60 feet. The winds so generated can snuff torches, small campfires, exposed lanterns, and other small, open flames of non-magical origin. Clear vision within the cloud is limited to 10 feet. Creatures have concealment at 15 to 20 feet (20% miss chance). At 25 feet or more, creatures have total concealment (50% miss chance, and opponents cannot use sight to locate the creature).
Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 10 + 1/2 creature’s HD) to cast a spell.
Improved Buckler Defense

Improved Critical
Choose one type of weapon (or weapon group if you are using that alternative). With that weapon, you know how to hit where it hurts.
PRE: Proficient with weapon, Attack bonus 8+
When using the selected weapon type, double the Critical threat range. For example, a longsword usually threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 (two numbers). If a character using a longsword has Improved Critical (longsword), the threat range becomes 17-20 (four numbers).
This feat can be taken multiple times, though it does not stack. Each time you select this feat, it applies to a different weapon or category of weapons.
This effect doesn't stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon (such as the Keen Edge spell, or the Keen weapon special ability).

PRE: DEX 19, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus 11+
Your ranged attacks ignore the AC bonus granted to targets by anything less than total cover, and the miss chance granted to targets by anything less than total concealment. Total cover and total concealment provide their normal benefits against your ranged attacks.

In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with your off-hand, albeit at a -5 penalty.
Improved Unarmed Strike

In addition, your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your option.
Improved Weapon Familiarity
PRE: Base Attack Bonus +1
You can treat all the exotic weapons associated with your race as martial weapons rather than as exotic weapons.

One spell slot 8 levels higher than the innate spell is permanently used up to power it. If the innate spell has an XP cost, you pay that each time you use the spell. If the spell has a focus, the need for it is gone. If the innate spell uses a costly material component, you must use an item worth 50 times as much as the component when you turn the spell into an innate one. You can choose this feat more than once, each time selecting a different spell.
Instant Stand
When tripped or knocked otherwise off your feet, this allows you to regain your footing immediately, thus thwarting the free attack that most attackers get when using Improved Trip against you.
Instantaneous Rage
PRE: Ability to Rage or Frenzy
Your Rage begins at any time you wish, even when it's not your turn or when you're surprised. You can activate your Rage as a free action, in response to another's action. Thus, you can gain the benefits of Rage in time to prevent or ameliorate an undesirable effect.
Intimidating Rage
PRE: Ability to Rage or Frenzy
While you are Raging, you designate a single foe within 30 feet of you that you can attempt to demoralize as a free action, who must make a Will save (DC = 10 + one-half your character level + your CHA modifier) or become Shaken for as long as you continue to Rage and the target can see you. A target that makes the save remains immune to the intimidating effect of your Rage for one day. Creatures immune to fear and those with no visual senses are immune to this effect.
You may only use this feat against a single foe in any particular encounter.

You have a knack for finding information.
You get a +2 bonus on all Gather Information checks and Search checks.
Iron Will
You have a stronger will than normal.
You get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws.
Karmic Strike
PRE: Dex 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge

On your action, you choose to take a -4 penalty to your AC in exchange for the ability to make an attack of opportunity against any creature that makes a successful melee attack or melee touch attack against you. The opponent that hits you must be in your threatened area, and this feat does not grant you more attacks of opportunity than you are normally allowed in a round. You specify on your turn that you are activating this feat, and the change to your AC and your ability to make these special attacks of opportunity last until your next turn.
Kiai Shout
PRE: Cha 13, Base attack bonus +1
Making a kiai shout is a standard action. Opponents who can hear your shout and who are within 30 feet of you may become shaken for 1d6 rounds. The kiai shout only effects those with lower HD or levels than you have. An opponent in the affected area can resist the effect with a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier). You can use the benefit of this feat up to three times per day.
Kin Mastery [Bloodline]
You can channel the energies of your arcane bloodline to turn or rebuke creatures with which you share a common heritage.
PRE: Any Bloodline feat, ability to cast 3rd level arcane spells.
Once per day, you may turn or rebuke creatures of the same kind as your bloodline ancestor as a Cleric of one-half your character level. You may choose to either turn or rebuke such creatures upon taking this feat, but you cannot later change that decision.
Knight Training
You are part of a knightly order that combines the divine calling of the paladin class with another form of training.
Pick one class. Taking levels in this class does not prevent you from taking paladin levels. If you take levels in any other class, you lose your ability to progress as a paladin as usual. If the selected class also has restricted advancement, such as the monk class, taking paladin levels does not prevent you from advancing in that class.
Large And In Charge
PRE:Large Size or bigger reach, STR 17+
When you make a successful attack of opportunity against an opponent who is moving inside your threat zone, you can force the opponent back to the area he was in before he provoked the attack. After you hit with your attack of opportunity, make an opposed STR check against your opponent. You gain a +4 bonus to this roll for each size category you are larger than your opponent, and an additional +1 bonus for every five points of damage you inflicted with your attack of opportunity. If you win the opposed check, your opponent is pushed back five feet to the area he was just in.
Lasting Life
You can shed negative levels with an act of will.
PRE: Endurance, Enduring Life
Once per round as a standard action, you can attempt to remove a negative level from yourself by attempting a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 attacker's HD + attacker's CHA modifier). If the saving throw succeeds, the negative level goes away. You make a separate saving throw for each negative level you have gained. If the save fails, you retain the negative level, but you can try again next round to remove it.
Leadership
You are the sort of person others want to follow, and you have done some work attempting to recruit cohorts and followers.
PRE: Character level 6th
You can attract loyal companions and devoted followers, subordinates who assit you. Your DM has information on what sort of cohort and how many followers you can recruit (in the DMG).
Lightning Fists
PRE:Monk Level 4+, DEX 15+
You can make two extra attacks in a round. All attacks made this round suffer a -5 attack penalty. This maneuver requires the full attack action. You cannot use Lightning Fists and flurry of blows at the same time.

You get a +2 bonus on all Reflex saving throws.
Low Blow
PRE: Dodge, Mobility, Base Attack 4+
As a full-round action, you can enter an area occupied by an opponent who is at least one size category larger than you. You can then make a single melee attack at your highest attack modifier against this creature, who is considered flat-footed against the attack. After your attack, you return to the 5-foot square from which you entered the opponents 5-foot square. Using this maneuver provokes an attack of opportunity normally.
Magical Aptitude
You have a knack for magical endeavors.
You get a +2 bonus on all Spellcraft checks and Use Magic Device checks.
Magical Artisan
PRE: Magic Item Creation Feat
You have mastered the method of creating a certain type of magic item. In game terms, treat the cost in XP and raw materials for making this type of item to be only 75% of the normal cost. This option may be taken multiple times, each time gaining a new type of item.
Mantis Leap
PRE:Monk Level 7+, Jump skill 5+
Designate an opponent who is within the maximum distance you can reach with a successful Jump check; if your check is successful, you can make a normal charge attack against the opponent you designated as part of the same action. If your charge attack is successful, you inflict double damage.
Manyshot
You can fire multiple arrows simultaneously against a nearby target.
As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with a -4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally (but see Special).
For every five points of base attack bonus you have above +6, you may add one additional arrow to this attack, to a maximum of four arrows at a base attack bonus of +16. However, each arrow after the second adds a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll (for a total penalty of -6 for three arrows and -8 for four).
Damage reduction and other resistances apply separately against each arrow fired.
Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply precision-based damage only once. If you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical damage; all others deal regular damage.
Master of Mockery
A genius of repartee and quick-witted insults, you can provoke your opponents to leave them too furious to worry about their own safety.
PRE: Perform (comedy) 8 ranks
You may, as a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, attempt to enrage a single melee opponent by making a Perform (comedy) check. The result of his check represents the DC of the Will save your opponent must make to avoid becoming enraged. Enraged opponents attack you whenever able, ignoring all other targets. They gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls against you but take a -2 penalty to Armor Class. This is a mind-affecting, language-dependent effect.
Mentor
You are a superb guide and protector.
During your action, you designate an ally within 30 feet of you to receive a +1 morale bonus on all saving throws.
Mobility
PRE: DEX 13+, Dodge
You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
Dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most types of bonuses.
Monkey Grip
You are able to use a larger weapon than other people your size.
PRE:Base Attack +1
You can use one melee weapon that is one size larger than you in one hand. You suffer a -2 penalty on your attack roll, but the amount of effort it takes you to use the weapon does not change. For instance, a Large longsword (a one-handed weapon for a Large creature) is considered a two-handed weapon for a medium creature that does not have this feat. For a medium creature that has this feat, it is considered a one-handed weapon. You can wield a larger light weapon as a light weapon, or a larger two-handed weapon in two hands.
You cannot wield a larger weapon in your off hand and you cannot use this feat with a double weapon.
Mother Cyst
You gain the ability to cast necrotic cyst spells by growing a cyst of your own.
PRE: Caster level 1st, Knowledge (Religion) 2 ranks
You grow an internal cyst of undead flesh called a mother cyst. The cyst may be noticeable as a discolored swelling on your skin, if desired. The mother cyst is slightly painful, but otherwise isn't harmful. The mother cyst grants you access to a selection fo cyst-related spells (listed below; detailed in Libris Mortis). You cast these spells like any other spell you can cast, once you host a mother cyst. If you are a caster who prepares spells, you can prepare all necrotic spells without referring to a spellbook, as if you had the Spell Mastery feat for each such spell.
Necrotic Cyst spells: 1st--Necrotic Awareness; 2nd--Necrotic Cyst, Necrotic Scrying; 3rd--Necrotic Bloat; 4th--Necrotic Domination; 5th--Necrotic Burst; 6th--Necrotic Eruption; 7th--Necrotic Tumor; 8th--Necrotic Empowerment; 9th--Necrotic Termination.
A creature without this feat cannot cast necrotic spells.
Mounted Archery
PRE:Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat
The penalty you take when using a ranged weapon while mounted is halved: -2 instead of -4 if your mount is taking a double move, and -4 instead of -8 if your mount is running.
Mounted Combat
PRE: Ride 1 rank
Once per round when your mount is hit in combat, you may attempt a Ride check (as a reaction) to negate the hit. The hit is negated if your Ride check result is greater than the opponent’s attack roll. (Essentially, the Ride check result becomes the mount’s Armor Class if it’s higher than the mount’s regular AC.)
Multiattack
A creature is adept at using all its natural weapons at once.
PRE: Three or more natural attacks
The creature's secondary attacks with natural weapons only take a -2 penalty.
Multitasking
PRE: Multiple Limbs, DEX 15+, INT 13+, Multiweapon Fighting, Multiattack
If you have four or more arms, you can use each pair of arms to perform a distinct partial action. Thus, you could attack with one or two arms while using a magic item, reloading a crossbow, or even casting a spell with the other two arms.
Multiweapon Fighting
A creature with three or more hands can fight with a weapon in each hand. The creature can make one extra attack each round with each extra weapon.
PRE: DEX 13, three or more hands
Penalties for fighting with multiple weapons are reduced by 2 with the primary hand and reduced by 6 with off hands.
This feat replaces the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.
House Rule Note: If a creature has this feat and the ability to shapechange into a form with less than three arms, this will serve as a virtual Two-Weapon Fighting feat while in that form.
