New Feats The feats described in this section are commonplace in the Unapproachable East. If a feat lists a “Region” line, it is a regional feat and cannot be selected unless a character meets the requirements for choosing feats from that region. The new feats described in this chapter are summarized below. A feat with the “Fighter” descriptor can be chosen as a bonus fighter feat. Battle Jump [FIGHTER, GENERAL] You know how to launch a devastating attack from above by dropping onto your opponent. Region: Taer. Benefit: You can execute a charge by simply dropping from a height of at least 5 feet above your opponent. For example, a ledge 10 feet above the floor of a cavern would suffice for jumping on a Medium-sized creature, while a ledge 15 feet high is required for a jumping on a Large creature. You can’t jump from more than 30 feet above your opponent, nor can you effectively battle jump while under the influence of a fly or levitate spell or effect, as you have to hurl yourself down on your foe. If you hit, you can choose either to deal double damage with a melee weapon or natural attack or to attempt a trip attack. You are treated as one size category larger than normal if you try to trip your opponent with the battle jump. After you attack, you take falling damage as normal for the distance you jumped. REGIONS AND FEATS 42 TABLE 3–1: NEW FEATS General Feats Prerequisites Battle Jump Taer region Draw from the Land Ethran, Rashemen region Ettercap Berserker Ability to rage, membership in Ettercap berserker lodge, Rashemen region Extended Rage Ability to rage Great Stag Berserker Ability to rage, membership in Great Stag berserker lodge, Rashemen region Ice Troll Berserker Constitution 13, ability to rage, membership in Ice Troll berserker lodge, Rashemen region Improved Grapple Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike Long Reach Gnoll or volodni region Owlbear Berserker Strength 13, ability to rage, membership in Owlbear berserker lodge, Rashemen region Rashemi Elemental Spellcaster level 5th, Summoning Rashemen region Snow Tiger Berserker Dexterity 13, ability to rage, membership in Snow Tiger berserker lodge, Rashemen region Vremyonni Training Able to cast 1st-level spells, Rashemen region Wolf Berserker Ability to rage, membership in Wolf berserker lodge, Rashemen region Woodwise Star elf or volodni region Item Creation Feats Prerequisite Craft Contingent Spell Spellcaster level 11th Metamagic Feats Prerequisite Explosive Spell — Fortify Spell — Transdimensional Spell — You are entitled to a Jump check (DC 15) to take less damage, as if you had fallen 10 feet less than you actually did. If you fail this Jump check, you fall prone 5 feet from your opponent. You can also use Battle Jump to begin a grapple attempt instead of making a normal attack. If you do, you are treated as one size category larger than normal for the first grapple check following the battle jump. Normal: Anybody can try to jump down on an enemy, but it is not considered a charge, and they do not gain double damage or the size bonus for the ensuing attack. Craft Contingent Spell [ITEM CREATION] You know how to create contingent spells, which are semipermanent spells that can be “worn” and activate under certain conditions. Prerequisites: Spellcaster level 11th+.
Benefit: You can make contingent any spell for which you meet the prerequisites. Crafting a contingent spell takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To craft a contingent spell, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half its base price. Some contingent spells incur extra costs in material components or XP as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the contingent spell’s base price. See Contingent Spells in Chapter 4: Magic and Spells for more information. Draw From the Land [GENERAL] You can draw strength and sustenance from the land itself. Prerequisites: Ethran. Region: Rashemen. Benefit: Before resting, you may draw upon the power of the land to revitalize your body and mind. This allows you to recover 2 hit points per day of light activity, or 4 hit points per level for each day of complete rest, and 2 ability score points per day, or 4 ability score points for each day of complete rest. This stacks with the benefits of long-term care provided by someone with the Heal skill (see Chapter 5: Skills in the Player’s Handbook). You may also use the energy of the land to fuel your body’s need for food and water. This gives you a +10 bonus on Constitution checks made to avoid subdual damage from hunger and thirst (see Starvation and Thirst Dangers in Chapter 3: Running the Game in the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide). Finally, you may use the power of the land to refresh your mind and body as a supplement to sleep. You require half as much sleep as normal (although you still have to rest a full 8 hours to prepare spells or regain spell slots). Outside of Rashemen, you must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + 2 per 100 miles from the border of Rashemen) to activate this ability. If you fail, you cannot retry for 1 day. Ettercap Berserker [FIGHTER, GENERAL] The intense physical training required to join your lodge has made you tougher. Prerequisites: Ability to rage, membership in the Ettercap berserker lodge (see Berserker Lodges in Chapter 10: Rashemen). Region: Rashemen. Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against poison. When raging, you gain a +6 bonus to Constitution. During a greater rage, you instead gain a +8 bonus to Constitution. Normal: A character in a rage gains a +4 bonus to Constitution. A character in a greater rage gains a +6 bonus to Constitution. REGIONS AND FEATS 43 Explosive Spell [METAMAGIC] You can cast spells that blast creatures off their feet. Benefit: An explosive spell ejects any creature caught in its area to the nearest edge of its effect and knocks the creature prone if it fails its saving throw against the spell. For example, an explosive fireball moves all creatures in its area who fail their saves at least 20 feet from the center of the effect, while an explosive lightning bolt moves targets 5 feet to either side of the stroke. Any creature moved in this manner takes an additional 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet moved. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If some obstacle intervenes to prevent the blasted creature from moving to the nearest edge of the effect, the creature stops at the obstacle but takes 1d6 points of damage from striking the barrier (in addition to any damage taken from being forcibly moved to the barrier). Explosive Spell can only be applied to spells that allow Reflex saves and affect some area (a cone, line, or burst). An explosive spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Extended Rage [GENERAL] Your rage lasts longer than it normally would. Prerequisites: Ability to rage. Benefit: Each of your rages lasts an additional 5 rounds beyond its normal duration. Special: You can take this feat multiple times, and the additional rounds stack. Fortify Spell [METAMAGIC] You can cast spells that easily penetrate spell resistance. Benefit: A fortified spell has a higher caster level than normal for the purpose of defeating a target’s spell resistance. For every level added to the spell’s actual level, you gain a +2 bonus on spell penetration checks with that spell. For example, a 9th-level wizard who prepares a fortified lightning bolt as a 5th-level spell rolls 1d20+13 for spell penetration with that spell, not 1d20+9. Spells that do not permit spell resistance are not affected. A fortified spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level. Great Stag Berserker [FIGHTER, GENERAL] Your fighting style employs aggressive charges in the manner of your lodge’s totem animal. Prerequisites: Ability to rage, membership in the Great Stag berserker lodge (see Berserker Lodges in Chapter 10: Rashemen). Region: Rashemen.
