Deep Imaskari Revision

This deep imaskari revision focuses on their desire to remain hidden, elusive and secretive, both by practice and successive alterations to their physiology over time. They've also been given a penchant for being more self-sufficient, due to having fewer practitioners of divine magic to rely upon within their private, less diverse communities. Their previous Spell Clutch racial feature could only be used by spellcasters with spell slots, so I replaced it with a feature that works for characters regardless of their chosen class levels.

DEEP IMASKARI (link)

• Humanoid (Human): Despite their marble and granite skin tones, deep imaskari are humanoids with the human subtype.
• +2 Intelligence, –2 Dexterity: Deep Imaskari are bright and quick to learn arcane lore, but they lack the balance and agility of most other humanoid races.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, deep imaskari have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Deep imaskari base land speed is 30 feet.
• Low-Light Vision: Deep imaskari can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• Nondetection (Su): Deep imaskari have a continuous nondetection ability, as if each of them had cast the spell upon him or herself, as a wizard with an effective caster level equal to their Hit Dice.
• +4 racial bonus on saving throws against divination and mind-affecting spells and effects, as well as any others that might affect one or more mental ability scores, those that offer control of the subject's actions, and those that provide information from or about the subject.
• +2 racial bonus on Hide checks, which improves to +4 underground.
• +2 racial bonus on Escape Artist, Heal, Move Silently and Survival checks.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Roushoum. Bonus Languages: Aquan, Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Terran, Undercommon.
• Favored Class: Wizard. A multiclass deep imaskari's wizard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

Deep Imaskari Height:
[ 4'10" ][ +2d10" ] (Male)

[ 4'5" ][ +2d10" ] (Female)

Deep Imaskari Weight:

[ 120 lbs. ][ +1d6 lbs. for each additional inch rolled ] (Male)

[ 85 lbs. ][ +1d6 lbs. for each additional inch rolled ] (Female)

Deep Imaskari age according to the following progression (in years):

Adult @ 20 // Middle Aged @ 60 // Old @ 120 // Venerable @ 200 // Maximum Age +4d%

The Imaskari Enclaves

Since the fall of the old Imaskar Empire on the world of Toril and the subsequent founding of Deep Imaskar far beneath its surface, some of the deep imaskari (revision) have been covertly scrying upon and expanding to other planets using powerful portal terminals as a means of transportation. Each of these devices are capable of establishing a two-way portal with almost any other observed or visited location that isn't properly warded or subjected to adverse magical conditions, be it on another plane or planet. The portal magic of the imaskari has its roots in the reverse engineering of ancient batrachi devices that they first discovered starting sometime between -8,100 and -8,000 DR. Upon traveling to each of these distant, often untamed worlds, the imaskari quickly established a well warded, concealed and sustained subterranean settlement for which they soon built at least one other portal terminal, eventually creating a vast network throughout the cosmos.

The imaskari arcanists always establish perpetual wards (mythals) using potent ritual magic to cover each enclave, helping sustain the populace, reinforcing the structures and protecting the area against both divination and undesired intrusion. In addition, extensive numbers of interconnected magic circles, and monoliths inscribed with powerful diagrams, are also used to the same effect.

Beneath magically altered and carefully attended bio-luminescent oak trees, potent earth nodes permeate the centers of nearly every imaskari enclave. These nodes help gather and amplify leyline energies drawn from the living subterranean depths of the host planet, as well as from the ethereal vapors and protomatter that lie along the local planar veils. Citizen spellcasters and psions alike, often train to make good use of these nodes to help them amplify and modify their capabilities.

Imaskari enclaves also use permanent extra-dimensional spaces, to expand the interior of various structures and chambers, making the most of their often limited subterranean environments. They also supplement the available space with modest demiplanes, created with controlled environments suitable for cultivating a variety of plants and livestock found throughout the cosmos.

The above summary is written for the purpose of being inserted into a typical medieval high-fantasy setting and does not account for the level of technology available with more advanced settings in which the Imaskari Enclaves might appear, or how said technology might mingle with their existing magical disciplines. Additional links regarding these enclaves can be found in the Imaskari Index.

New Spells

Solid Undertow
Transmutation

Level: Druid 9

Components: V, S

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Area: Four 10-ft.-square solid surfaces / level (S)

Duration: 1 round/level and Instantaneous (D) (see text)

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

Creatures upon the affected surfaces are pulled through them to another location on the same body of solid matter.

While this spell lasts, each creature that touches one of the affected surfaces must make a Will save or be instantaneously transported in an unbroken path through solid matter to another locale you designate on the same body of solid matter, as if affected by master earth (SpC 139). If no such path exists between an affected surface and the designated location, that surface is not affected.
When this spell is first cast, creatures closest to the point of casting are affected first. Each creature affected after the first, appears in a random space located 5 x 1d6 feet away from the creature affected just before it, in a way that doesn't break line of sight between them. If that space is occupied, then it is shunted harmlessly to the nearest unoccupied space that can accommodate it, without breaking its line of sight with the creature affected just before it.
An unwilling creature that makes its Will save, cannot be affected by that same casting of this spell while it lasts, unless they choose to be.

Elan Revision

Elan are not born, they are made. Living humans are selected from a pool of applicants and screened by a special elan council. Those who pass muster undergo a secret psionic process in one of several hidden elan enclaves, where they abandon their humanity for a new, psionically energized existence. Thus, elans don't reproduce biologically, but rather psionically, through a mysterious psionic ritual known only to elans. Even then, their children are usually already fully formed human adults. Nonhuman elans are never created, and it could be that the ritual simply doesn't work for any creatures that weren't originally human.

ELAN

• Elans retain the appearance, size, speed, ability scores, languages and favored class they possessed before their transformation, but lose the humanoid type and all other traits of their former base race.
• Aberration: Despite their human appearance, elans are aberrations and thus not subject to spells and effects that affect only humanoids, such as charm person or dominate person.
• -2 Charisma. Elans typically find themselves preoccupied with their altered state of being.
• Low-Light Vision: An elan can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• Darkvision: Elan can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and elans can function just fine with no light at all.
• Naturally Psionic: Elans gain 2 bonus power points. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
• Resistance (Su): Elans can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an elan can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of her next action.
• Resilience (Su): When an elan takes damage, she can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, she can reduce the damage she is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point she spends.
• Repletion (Su): An elan can sustain her body without need of food or water. If she spends 1 power point, an elan does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.
• Reverie: Elan do not sleep. Elans that trance for 4 hours gain the same benefit a human does from 8 hours of sleep. A creature in trance may make Listen checks with half the penalty that sleeping creatures do (normally -10 for sleeping creatures).
• Additional Favored Class: Psion. In addition to their original favored class, a multiclass elan’s psion class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
• Level Adjustment: +0.

Elan Height & Weight:

Elan retain the height and weight the possessed before their transformation.

Elan age according to the following progression (in years):

Adult @ 15 // Middle Aged @ 200 // Old @ 400 // Venerable @ 1,000 // No Maximum Age

Humans that undergo the process to become an elan, emerge as individuals at the start of their current age category.

The Nord of Caledon

The nord are a type of human found primarily on the world of Caledon, and are currently the dominant race within the Caledonian Empire. While they have many similarities with normal humans, there are some distinct differences. The nord stand between 6' to 8' tall, have pale blue markings over most of their bodies, and are highly gifted in magic. The nord however prefer the warrior skills to magic, and few nord are known to focus solely on magic. They are natural warriors, and because of this warrior nature, they retain their youthful appearance their entire lives, only showing aging when they are advanced in age. Another difference in the nord from normal humans is their lifespan. While humans can live a little over 100 years in an advanced society, the nord have been known to reach ages of 600 years. Not even the nord themselves know their true lifespan, as most nord die between their fourth and fifth centuries of life. This is caused mainly by condition that is common for all nord, and it is known as the Warrior's Fate. When this condition occurs, affected nord disappear into the most dangerous regions of the planet their own, and very few are heard from again. It has been speculated that the longing to revisit past glories drives them to seek untold perils, and this is one reason why the nord are fewer in number than typical humans.

NORD

• Humanoid (Human): Despite their extraordinary stature and improved faculties, nord are humanoids with the human subtype.
• +6 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, nord have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Nord base land speed is 40 feet.
• Weapon Group Proficiency: Nord are proficient with any one group of weapons in addition to any others.
• Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of nord lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a nord is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the nord is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A nord is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A nord can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
• Nord are immune to all disease, including supernatural disease.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Draconic. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).
• Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass nord takes an experience point penalty, her highest-level class does not count.
• Level Adjustment: +2.

Nord Height:
[ 6'4" ][ +2d10" ] (Male)

[ 6'0" ][ +2d10" ] (Female)

Nord Weight:

[ 210 lbs. ][ *2d4 lbs. ] (Male)

[ 170 lbs. ][ *2d4 lbs. ] (Female)

Nord age according to the following progression (in years):

Adult @ 15 // Middle Aged @ 200 // Old @ 300 // Venerable @ 400 // Maximum Age +2d%

Nord Racial and Regional Feats:

Ancestral Knowledge (Ros 136), Battle Hardened (RoS 137), Blooded (PGtF 35), Bullheaded (PGtF 37), Dreadful Wrath (PGtF 38), Fearless (PGtF 38), Lightbringer (RoF 166), Strong Soul (PGtF 44), Tireless (PGtF 46)

Freemind Avenger

A primary freemind avenger credo is “Do or die,” where “do” means “find and slay mindslavers.” Avengers have no use for those with faltering hearts (another of their credos—which, truth be told, number in the hundreds). It is a poorly kept secret that while avengers are most adept at hunting and slaying those that would control the minds of others, their abilities make them deadly to many spellcasting and psionic creatures.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

To qualify to become a freemind avenger, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

Base Attack Bonus: +4

Feats: Track

Class Skills (4 + Int modifier per level): Bluff, Concentration, Escape Artist, Gather Information, Knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, local, nature, planes, religion, psionics), Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Psicraft, Spot and Survival.

CLASS FEATURES

All the following are class features of the freemind avenger prestige class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Freemind avengers gain proficiency in two additional weapon groups, along with proficiency with light, medium and heavy armor as well as shields.

Powers Known: At each level, a freemind avenger gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if she had also gained a level in whatever manifesting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of freemind avenger to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly. If a character had more than one manifesting class before she became an freemind avenger, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of freemind avenger for the purpose of determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.

If the character did not belong to a manifesting class before taking this prestige class (for example, if she was a soulknife or a ranger with the Wild Talent feat), she does not gain manifesting levels.

Lucid Buffer (Ex): A freemind avenger becomes especially skilled at resisting mental attacks and effects that reveal information. She gains a bonus equal to her class level on saving throws against all divination, clairsentience, and mind-affecting effects. This ability is active even if the she is unconscious, stunned, or otherwise helpless.

Bonus Feat (Ex): At 2nd level, and again at 5th level, a freemind avenger may select one of the following feats as a bonus feat, even if she doesn't meet the prerequisites: Focused Skill User, Improved Grapple, Quick Recovery, Mental Juggernaut, Mind Mask, Psionic Meditation, Skill Focus (Concentration) or Subduing Strike.

Breach Resistance (Su): By 4th level, whenever a freemind avenger attacks a creature with a manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, she may expend her psionic focus to alter that attack. If the altered attack is successful, that creature's power (and spell) resistance is reduced by 1d4. Unless the creature is slain, its reduced resistance recovers at a rate of 1 point per hour.

Cerebral Blind (Su): After reaching 7th level, a freemind avenger is protected from all devices, powers, and spells that reveal location. This ability protects against information gathering by clairsentience powers or effects that reveal location. The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to gain information about the avenger's location (however, metafaculty can pierce this protective barrier). In the case of remote viewing or scrying that scans an area a freemind avenger is in, the effect works, but the avenger simply isn't detected. Remote viewing or scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at a freemind avenger do not work. This ability is active as long as the avenger is psionically focused.

Cerebral Immunity (Su): On reaching 8th level, a freemind avenger gains protection from all devices, powers, and spells that influence the mind. This ability shields her against almost all mind-affecting powers and effects (though the slayer can selectively allow powers or spells to affect her). The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to mentally influence a mindslayer. This ability is active as long as the avenger is psionically focused.

Liberation Strike (Su): By 10th level, whenever a freemind avenger attacks a creature with a manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, she may expend her psionic focus to alter that attack. If the altered attack is successful, all of those subject to ongoing mind-affecting effects produced by the creature struck, are granted one additional saving throw against each such effect. In this case, a successful save always negates the effect against which it is made. If such effects normally don't allow a saving throw, treat them as if they did. If such an effect doesn't have an effective spell level, give it a save DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the producing creature's Hit Dice + its most relevant ability modifier.

Chaotic Evil Cold Iron Strike (Su): A kelvezu's natural weapons, unarmed strikes and any weapons it uses in melee are each considered chaotic, evil and cold iron for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Poison (Ex): A kelvezu continually coats its weapons with an injury poison (Fortitude save DC 24) produced from its fingertips.

Custom Firenewt Update

FIRENEWTS

• Monstrous Humanoid (Fire, Reptilian): Firenewts, also known as salamen, are distant relatives of lizard men. They are cruel marauders that roam hot regions. The firenewt’s dry skin is a mottled sepia color, darkest along the spine and fading to near-white on the belly. The smooth flesh and features resemble those of an eel. The eyes are deep crimson. Females are slightly shorter, and a duller brown.
• +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence
• Medium: As Medium creatures, firenewts have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Firenewt base land speed is 30 feet.
• Darkvision: Firenewts can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and firenewts can function just fine with no light at all.
• Low-Light Vision: Firenewts can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• Racial Hit Dice: A firenewt begins with two levels of monstrous humanoid, which provide 2d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +2, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +0, Ref +3, and Will +3.
• Racial Skills: A firenewt's monsterous humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 5 × (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Climb, Intimidate, Jump, Listen, Ride, Spot, Survival and Swim.
• Racial Feats: A firenewt's monstrous humanoid levels give it one feat.
• +4 racial bonus on Balance, Jump and Swim checks.
• +2 racial bonus to natural armor.
• Tail Torch (Su): As a free or immediate action, a firenewt in its true form may emit a burning jet of flame from the end of their tail, producing a light equivalent to that of a torch. This jet of flame can be used as a primary or off-hand weapon and treated like a dagger for the purpose of proficiency, feats and features. Attacks with this tail torch are resolved as melee touch attacks that deal an amount of fire damage equal an appropriately sized dagger's base damage plus 1 point for every 2 Hit Dice (rounded down) the firenewt has. Strength does not apply to the damage dealt by a tail torch. When pressed into a stationary, unattended object as a standard or full attack action, the tail torch deals its full normal damage (though hardness still applies). This ability functions normally underwater. A firenewt may extinguish or reignite its tail torch as a free or immediate action. A firenewt's tail torch does not function while it is unconscious, asleep or otherwise helpless.
• Breath Weapon (Su): A firenewt's breath weapon is a line of fire measuring 5 feet per Hit Die, up to a maximum of 100 feet at 20 HD. The breath weapon deals 1d8 points of fire damage, plus an extra 1d8 points for each 3 HD a firenewt possesses (2d8 at 3 HD, 3d8 at 6 HD, and so on). A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the firenewt's HD + his Con modifier) halves the damage. A firenewt can use his breath weapon as a standard action once every 1d4 rounds. This breath weapon functions normally underwater, producing steam instead of flames.
• Fire Subtype (Ex): Firenewts have an immunity to fire and a vulnerability to cold. They take half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
• Proficiencies (Ex): Firenewts are automatically proficient with light and medium armor, basic weapons and any two other groups of weapons.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Draconic. Bonus Languages: Ignan, Terran, Giant, Goblin.
• Favored Class: Barbarian. A multiclass firenewt's barbarian class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
• Level Adjustment: +1

Monk Class Features

Here's an attempt to help the monk a little bit, though it still doesn't offer many choices as one levels up. My jury is still out on the idea of giving the class a high base attack bonus.

Aligned Body (Su): At 10th level, a monk gains damage reduction 1/chaotic. This damage reduction increases to 2/chaotic at 20th level. In addition, the monk's natural weapons and unarmed strikes are considered lawful for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Wakefulness (Ex): At 11th level, a monk may reduce by 50%, the time she needs to sleep (or trance) each day in order to function normally. She must still observe an 8 hour period of restful calm in order to restore spells, power points and other similar abilities.

Hard Body (Ex): By 12th level, a monk gains damage reduction 1/adamantine. This damage reduction increases by 1 for every two additional class levels, to a maximum of 5/adamantine at 20th level.

Revised Dark Chaos Spells

Embrace the Dark Chaos
Transmutation [Chaotic]

Level: Cleric 9, Sorcerer 8, Wizard 8

Components: V, S, Sacrifice

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: Willing living creature touched

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: No

You infuse the creature touched with raw chaos channeled from the Abyss.
Somehow it looks more fiendish than before.
The subject immediately gains one Abyssal heritor feat for which it qualifies, chosen by you at the time of casting. If the subject does not qualify for the designated feat, the spell fails.
This Abyssal heritor feat replaces one feat of the subject's choice that it already possesses. The replaced feat need not have been an Abyssal heritor feat. If the lost feat was a prerequisite for other feats or prestige classes, the subject loses access to those feats or prestige class abilities until it once again meets all the prerequisites.
Once the subject has the Abyssal heritor feat, only a miracle, shun the dark chaos, or wish spell can reverse the change.
Sacrifice: 2d4 ability burn to the ability score required to cast this spell.

Shun the Dark Chaos

Transmutation [Chaotic]

Level: Cleric 9, Sorcerer 8, Wizard 8

Components: V, S, Sacrifice

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: Willing living creature touched

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: No

You remove a vestige of the creature's Abyssal heritage, making it seem less fiendish.
You strip the taint of the Abyss from the creature touched.
If the subject possesses any Abyssal heritor feats, one of them is immediately removed and replaced by any other feat for which the subject qualifies (except an Abyssal heritor feat).
The subject chooses both the feat lost and its replacement. If the lost Abyssal heritor feat was a prerequisite for other feats or prestige classes, the recipient loses access to those feats or prestige class abilities until it once again meets all the prerequisites.
The subject can regain its original Abyssal heritor feat (and lose the replacement feat) by means of embrace the dark chaos, miracle, or wish.
Sacrifice: 2d4 ability burn to the ability score required to cast this spell.

Additional Fighter Feats

Strong Two-Hand Striker [Combat]

Benefit: Whenever you would normally add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus (if any) to damage rolls with a manufactured weapon using your primary hand and at least one off-hand, you may add 2 times your Strength bonus (if any) instead.

Special: A fighter may select Strong Two-Hand Striker as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Revised feats involving fighting with more than one weapon can be found here.

Martial Pounce [Combat]

You may bring your full wrath to bear upon enemies you engage in melee combat at the end of a charge.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1, Run.

Benefit: You gain Pounce as an extraordinary special ability (MM 313).

Special: A fighter can select Martial Pounce as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Sniper Sight [Combat]

Your training enables you to deliver precise attacks at a greater range.

Prerequisites: Skirmish, Sneak Attack and/or Sudden Strike ability, Spot 1 rank.

Benefit: The maximum range at which you can utilize your Skirmish, Sneak Attack and/or Sudden Strike ability, is increased by a measure of distance that imposes a penalty to your Spot checks, equal to the ranks you possess in that skill (normally 10 feet per rank).

Special: A fighter can select Sniper Sight as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Focused Strike [Combat]

With enough time, you can pour your focus into delivering a single deadly strike.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +6,

Benefit: As a full-round action, you can take careful aim and pool all of your attack potential into a single, deadly strike. When you do this, you attack a single target using a single manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, but make as many attack rolls as you can, based on your base attack bonus. These attack rolls are made in order from highest bonus to lowest, as if you were making a full attack with a single manufactured weapon. If any of these attack rolls hit the target, your actual attack is considered to have hit.

    For each additional successful attack roll beyond the first, you increase the damage dealt by the base damage dice of the weapon used. For instance, if a 6th-level fighter firing a composite longbow hits with both  attack rolls, she does 2d8 points of damage with the actual attack, instead of 1d8 points of damage, before adding any other damage modifiers. Precision damage and extra damage from weapon special abilities (such as flaming) are added as damage modifiers and are not increased by using this feat. If one or more rolls are critical threats, you confirm the critical once using your highest base attack bonus –5. For each critical threat beyond the first, you reduce this penalty by 1 (to a maximum of 0).

Special: A fighter can select Focused Strike as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Using Two or More Weapons

The feats below both merge and revise the series of Two-Weapon Fighting and Multi-Weapon Fighting feats.

Off-Hand Fighting [Combat]

You are adept at fighting with more than one weapon at a time.

Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with more than one weapon are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the off-hand penalty lessens by 6.

Normal: You may designate your primary hand at the start of your turn as a free action. For each off-hand weapon you wield, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way you suffer a -6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary-hand weapon and a -10 penalty to an attack with an off-hand weapon. If all of your your off-hand weapons are light, these penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always considered light.)

Special: A fighter may select Off-Hand Fighting as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Improved Off-Hand Fighting [Combat]

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Off-Hand Fighting, Base Attack Bonus +6.

Benefit: Whenever you can make one or more iterative attacks according to your Base Attack Bonus, you can make a set of them for each primary-hand and off-hand weapon you wield.

Special: A fighter may select Improved Off-Hand Fighting as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Strong Off-Hand Fighting [Combat]

Benefit: You may add your full Strength bonus (if any) to damage rolls made using any off-hand weapon, instead of 1/2 your Strength bonus (if any).

Special: A fighter may select Strong Off-Hand Fighting as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Off-Hand Opportunist [Combat]

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Combat Reflexes, Off-Hand Fighting, Improved Off-Hand Fighting, Base Attack Bonus +6.
Benefit: When allowed an attack of opportunity using a primary-hand or off-hand weapon, you may attack the same provoking target once with each primary-hand and off-hand weapon you threaten it with at that time. For any given attack of opportunity, you must decide before your first attack roll whether you want to use this feat. If you do, all of the attacks you make involving that opportunity, take the standard penalties for fighting with more than one weapon.

Special: A fighter may select Off-Hand Opportunist as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Off-Hand Rend [Combat]
Prerequisite: Dex 13, Off-Hand Fighting, Base Attack Bonus +6.
Benefit: Whenever you successfully harm the same opponent with a primary-hand weapon and at least one off-hand weapon in the same round, one of the off-hand weapons involved in doing so, may deal that opponent extra damage equal to 1d6 plus 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus (if any). You can gain this extra damage once per round against a given opponent.

Special: A fighter can select Off-Hand Rend as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Paladin Spells

A variety of other spells previously created, can be found here.

Share Wounds
Abjuration

Level: Pal 1

Components: V or S

Casting Time: 1 immediate action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Target: One creature other than yourself

Duration: 1 minute + 1 round/level (D)

Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)

Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

Each time hit point damage would be taken by the subject, half of it (rounded up) is transferred to you instead, provided the distance between you and the subject does not exceed the spell's range at that time.

Spur Momentum

Transmutation

Level: Pal 1

Components: V or S

Casting Time: 1 swift action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Targets: One creature other than yourself

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)

Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The subject's initiative count immediately equals your initiative count – 1 and they may then act on this new initiative count as normal. If the subject has already acted in the current round, they can act again. If this spell would not change the subject's initiative count, it has no effect. If the subject has not yet acted during this round, their initiative count changes, and they act on that count as normal. They can not act again on their original initiative count.

Timely Transposition

Conjuration (Teleportation)

Level: Pal 1

Components: V or S

Casting Time: 1 immediate action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Targets: You and one willing creature

Duration: Instantaneous

Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

You and one other willing creature within range, instantly swap positions. Objects carried by you and the other creature (up to the maximum load of each) go with each of you, but other creatures do not, even if they are carried. The movement is instantaneous and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If cast in response to an attack or similar event that occurs with regard to one target of this spell, there is only a 50% chance that this spell will resolve before that event, which would cause it to affect the other subject of this spell instead. Upon arrival, each of you must occupy an available space that lies within or entirely overlaps the space previously occupied by the other. If no such space exists for either creature, the spell fails.

Fighter Feat Scaling

These sample feats are part of an experiment to help improve the fighter class, in addition to giving the class a bonus feat at every level and a d12 Hit Dice. At this time however, I don't see every feat from the list of fighter bonus feats, being given a scaling effect. So far, figuring the rate of how each feat might scale, is guesstimated depending on how often the feat will likely come into play, as well as the value and potency of its initial benefits.

_______________________________

Stunning Fist [Combat]
Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + half your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next action). A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a -2 penalty to AC, and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once each day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special) and once for every four feats you possess from the list of bonus fighter feats (rounded down), including this one. You may not attempt more than one stunning attack each round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned.
Special: A monk may select Stunning Fist as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if she does not meet the prerequisites. A monk who selects this feat may attempt a stunning attack a number of times per day equal to her class level, plus one more time per day for every four levels she has in classes other than monk. A fighter may select Stunning Fist as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Weapon Focus [Combat]

You have developed your techniques for using a select variety of weapons.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +1
Benefit: Choose one group of weapons with which you are proficient. You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using weapons from the selected group. This bonus increases by 1 for every eight feats you possess from the list of fighter bonus feats (rounded down), including this one.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new group of weapons. You may instead choose unarmed strike or grapple (or ray or missile, if you are a spellcaster) as your weapon for purposes of this feat.

Weapon Specialization [Combat]
You deal extra damage using weapons upon which you have focused.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +4, Weapon Focus (any)
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on damage rolls using weapons for which you have taken the Weapon Focus feat. This bonus increases by 1 for every six feats you possess from the list of fighter bonus feats (rounded down), including this one.

Other recently drafted feats:

Tower Shield Optimization [Combat]
You have trained extensively with tower shields, and can better handle them in battle.
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +4, Proficiency with tower shields
Benefit: When personally wielding a tower shield, you may lessen its check penalty by 3, lessen its attack roll penalty by 1, increase its maximum Dexterity bonus to AC by 1, and increase its shield bonus to AC by 2. For every six feats you possess from the list of fighter bonus feats (rounded down), including this one, you may increase its shield bonus to AC by 1. The bonus to AC this feat provides, is lost whenever you are denied your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any).
Special: A fighter may select Tower Shield Optimization as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Note I always felt the penalties for using a tower shield were a little too burdensome, and instead of revising the shield itself, I decided offering a feat like this would prove a better remedy.
