Some feats have prerequisites. Your character must have the
indicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus, or
other quality designated in order to select or use that feat. A character can
gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite.
Feats in Terra Viejo may have two separate categories that are considered
prerequisites for the feat. In addition to the standard prerequisite entry,
there may also be a Region/Race prerequisite. Both prerequisites must be met in
order to take the feat.
A character can’t use a feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite.
Some feats are general, meaning that no special rules govern them as a group. Others are item creation feats, which allow spellcasters to create magic items of all sorts. A metamagic feat lets a spellcaster prepare and cast a spell with greater effect, albeit as if the spell were a higher spell level than it actually is.
Any feat designated as a fighter feat can be selected as a fighter’s bonus feat. This designation does not restrict characters of other classes from selecting these feats, assuming that they meet any prerequisites.
An item creation feat lets a spellcaster create a magic item
of a certain type. Regardless of the type of items they involve, the various
item creation feats all have certain features in common.
XP Cost: Experience that the spellcaster would normally keep is expended
when making a magic item. The XP cost equals 1/25 of the cost of the item in
gold pieces. A character cannot spend so much XP on an item that he or she
loses a level. However, upon gaining enough XP to attain a new level, he or she
can immediately expend XP on creating an item rather than keeping the XP to
advance a level.
Raw Materials Cost: The cost of creating a magic item equals one-half
the sale cost of the item.
Using an item creation feat also requires access to a laboratory or magical
workshop, special tools, and so on. A character generally has access to what he
or she needs unless unusual circumstances apply.
Time: The time to create a magic item depends on the feat and the cost
of the item. The minimum time is one day.
Item Cost: Brew Potion, Craft Wand, and Scribe Scroll create items that
directly reproduce spell effects, and the power of these items depends on their
caster level—that is, a spell from such an item has the power it would have if
cast by a spellcaster of that level. The price of these items (and thus the XP
cost and the cost of the raw materials) also depends on the caster level. The
caster level must be high enough that the spellcaster creating the item can
cast the spell at that level. To find the final price in each case, multiply
the caster level by the spell level, then multiply the result by a constant, as
shown below:
Scrolls: Base price = spell level x caster level x ?25 gp.
Potions: Base price = spell level x ?caster level x ?50 gp.
Wands: Base price = spell level x ?caster level x ?750 gp.
A 0-level spell is considered to have a spell level of 1/2 for the purpose of
this calculation.
Extra Costs: Any potion, scroll, or wand that stores a spell with a
costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. For
potions and scrolls, the creator must expend the material component or pay the
XP cost when creating the item.
For a wand, the creator must expend fifty copies of the material component or
pay fifty times the XP cost.
Some magic items similarly incur extra costs in material components or XP, as
noted in their descriptions.
As a spellcaster’s knowledge of magic grows, she can learn
to cast spells in ways slightly different from the ways in which the spells
were originally designed or learned. Preparing and casting a spell in such a
way is harder than normal but, thanks to metamagic feats, at least it is
possible. Spells modified by a metamagic feat use a spell slot higher than
normal. This does not change the level of the spell, so the DC for saving
throws against it does not go up.
Wizards and Divine Spellcasters: Wizards and divine spellcasters must
prepare their spells in advance. During preparation, the character chooses
which spells to prepare with metamagic feats (and thus which ones take up
higher-level spell slots than normal).
Sorcerers and Bards: Sorcerers and bards choose spells as they cast
them. They can choose when they cast their spells whether to apply their
metamagic feats to improve them. As with other spellcasters, the improved spell
uses up a higher-level spell slot. But because the sorcerer or bard has not
prepared the spell in a metamagic form in advance, he must apply the metamagic
feat on the spot. Therefore, such a character must also take more time to cast
a metamagic spell (one enhanced by a metamagic feat) than he does to cast a
regular spell. If the spell’s normal casting time is 1 action, casting a
metamagic version is a full-round action for a sorcerer or bard. (This isn’t
the same as a 1-round casting time.)
For a spell with a longer casting time, it takes an extra full-round action to
cast the spell.
Spontaneous Casting and Metamagic Feats: A cleric spontaneously casting a
cure or inflict spell can cast a metamagic version of it instead.
Extra time is also required in this case. Casting a 1-action metamagic spell
spontaneously is a full-round action, and a spell with a longer casting time
takes an extra full-round action to cast.
Effects of Metamagic Feats on a Spell: In all ways, a metamagic spell
operates at its original spell level, even though it is prepared and cast as a
higher-level spell. Saving throw modifications are not changed unless stated
otherwise in the feat description.
The modifications made by these feats only apply to spells cast directly by the
feat user. A spellcaster can’t use a metamagic feat to alter a spell being cast
from a wand, scroll, or other device.
Metamagic feats that eliminate components of a spell don’t eliminate the attack
of opportunity provoked by casting a spell while threatened. However, casting a
spell modified by Quicken Spell does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Metamagic feats cannot be used with all spells. See the specific feat
descriptions for the spells that a particular feat can’t modify.
Multiple Metamagic Feats on a Spell: A spellcaster can apply multiple
metamagic feats to a single spell. Changes to its level are cumulative. You
can’t apply the same metamagic feat more than once to a single spell.
Magic Items and Metamagic Spells: With the right item creation feat, you
can store a metamagic version of a spell in a scroll, potion, or wand. Level
limits for potions and wands apply to the spell’s higher spell level (after the
application of the metamagic feat). A character doesn’t need the metamagic feat
to activate an item storing a metamagic version of a spell.
Counterspelling Metamagic Spells: Whether or not a spell has been
enhanced by a metamagic feat does not affect its vulnerability to
counterspelling or its ability to counterspell another spell.
Here is the format for feat descriptions.

BREW POTION [ITEM
CREATION]

Benefit: You can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell that
you know and that targets one or more creatures. Brewing a potion takes one
day. When you create a potion, you set the caster level, which must be
sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. The
base price of a potion is its spell level x its caster level x 50 gp. To brew a

costing one half this base price.
When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make
when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.

|
Turn sharply at high speed |
15 |
|
Jumping chariot over low
obstacle |
15 |
|
Driver fighting from moving
chariot |

the chariot, but deal 1 point of damage to the chariot horses. You can use this
ability every round, but each consecutive round of additional speed deals twice
as much damage to the horses as the previous round (2 points, 4 points, 8
points, and so on).
Take control: If the chariot is out of control, because the driver was
killed for example, you can attempt to take control to avoid a crash.
Trample: To trample a target requires moving into the space of the
target, and the driver hitting against their AC. A check is required to keep
the chariot from overturning on this maneuver.
Failure: A failed role when jumping low obstacles, trying to take
control of the chariot, controlling the chariot while trampling or turning at
high speeds means that the chariot has overturned, each occupant and the mounts
must make Reflex saves, DC 15+1 for each 10 feet per round the chariot was
moving, or take 1d10 damage.
Special: If you have five or more ranks in Ride, you receive a +2 bonus
on Handle Animal checks involving chariot maneuvers. The Ride by Attack,
Spirited Charge and Mounted Archery Feats may be used from a chariot. A fighter
may take this as one of his bonus feats.

hand to cast the spell, just as normal.
EVIL EYE [GENERAL]
You can curse someone with a look.
Region/Race:

prepared spell), you can place a curse on someone you can see, giving them a -2
on all skill and ability checks and attack rolls for the next 24 hours. If the
target is a legitimate source of envy-i.e. has something you are truly jealous
of-the effect is permanent. The target is entitled to a will save; the DC is

eye.

Benefit: This feat allows a bard to choose a single, specific
instrument, as his favored instrument. This is his one instrument, one that he
has practiced with continuously, and he knows it so well it is practically a
part of his body. As a consequence, all spells cast while using this instrument
gain +2 to the save DC.
Should the instrument ever be stolen or destroyed, the bard suffers a -1 morale
penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, skill checks, and saving
throws for the following week. After an additional month of training and

You can also mend a broken ring if it is one that you could make. Doing so
costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to

The list in the table above presents only a few possible improved familiars.
Almost any creature of the same general size and power as those on the list
makes a suitable familiar. Nor is the master’s alignment the only possible

Leadership score, causing it to vary from the base score (character level + Cha
modifier). A character’s reputation (from the point of view of the cohort or
follower he is trying to attract) raises or lowers his Leadership score:
|
Leader's Reputation |
Modifier |
|
Great renown |

|
Fairness and generosity |
+1 |
|
Special Power |
+1 |
|
Failure |
-1 |
|
Aloofness |
-1 |
|
Cruelty |
-2 |
Other modifiers may apply when the character tries to attract a cohort:
|
The Leader . . . |

|
Has a familiar, special
mount, or animal companion |
-2 |
|
Recruits a cohort of a
different alignment |
-1 |
|

cohort |
-2* |
|
*Cumulative per cohort killed |
|
Followers have different priorities from cohorts. When the character tries to attract a new follower, use any of the following modifiers that apply.
|
The Leader . . . |
Modifier |
|
Has a stronghold, base of operations
guildhouse or the like |
+2 |

Leadership Score: A character’s base Leadership score equals his level
plus any Charisma modifier. In order to take into account negative Charisma
modifiers, this table allows for very low Leadership scores, but the character
must still be 6th level or higher in order to gain the Leadership feat. Outside
factors can affect a character’s Leadership score, as detailed above.
Cohort Level: The character can attract a cohort of up to this level.
Regardless of a character’s Leadership score, he can only recruit a cohort who
is two or more levels lower than himself. The cohort should be equipped with
gear appropriate for its level. A character can try to attract a cohort of a
particular race, class, and alignment. The cohort’s alignment may not be
opposed to the leader’s alignment on either the law-vs-chaos or good-vs-evil axis,
and the leader takes a Leadership penalty if he recruits a cohort of an
alignment different from his own.
Cohorts earn XP as follows:
The cohort does not count as a
party member when determining the party’s XP.
Divide the cohort’s level by the level of the PC with whom he or she is
associated (the character with the Leadership feat who attracted the cohort).
Multiply this result by the total XP awarded to the PC and add that number of
experience points to the cohort’s total.
If a cohort gains enough XP to bring it to a level one lower than the
associated PC’s character level, the cohort does not gain the new level—its new
XP total is 1 less than the amount needed attain the next level.
Number of Followers by Level: The character can lead up to the indicated number of characters of each level. Followers are similar to cohorts, except they’re generally low-level NPCs. Because they’re generally five or more levels behind the character they follow, they’re rarely effective in combat. Followers don’t earn experience and thus don’t gain levels. However, when a character with Leadership attains a new level, the player consults the table above to determine if she has acquired more followers, some of which may be higher level than the existing followers. (You don’t consult the table to see if your cohort gains levels, however, because cohorts earn experience on their own.)
LEGIONNAIRE [BACKGROUND]
You have fought in the legions of the

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.
Special: 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.

Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this feat
are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells

Survival (four free ranks total, maximum ranks still apply) and a +2 to all
Climb, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot and Survival checks in a hilly or
mountainous area and to Knowledge (Nature) checks related to highland flora and

Special: A fighter may select Mounted Combat as one of his fighter bonus
feats.
NATURAL LINGUIST
[BACKGROUND]
You have a talent for language.
Prerequisite: Intelligence 13+

Information, Profession (Beggar) and Sense Motive checks when dealing with the

in a seaside port city.
POWER ATTACK
[GENERAL]
Prerequisite: Str 13.
Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may
choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number
to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus.
The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
Special: If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed
weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your
attack rolls. You can’t add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt
with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks),
even though the penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Normally, you treat a
double weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose to use a
double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with only one end of it in a
round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.)
A fighter may select Power Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats.
PRECISE SHOT
[GENERAL]
Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in
melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on your attack roll.

action. You can draw a hidden weapon (see the Sleight of Hand skill) as a move
action.
A character who has selected this feat may throw weapons at his full normal
rate of attacks (much like a character with a bow).
Normal: Without this feat, you may draw a weapon as a move action, or
(if your base attack bonus is +1 or higher) as a free action as part of
movement. Without this feat, you can draw a hidden weapon as a standard action.
Special: A fighter may select Quick Draw as one of his fighter bonus
feats.
QUICKEN SPELL
[METAMAGIC]
Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a free action. You can perform
another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a
quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose
casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. A quickened
spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level.
Casting a quickened spell doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.
Special: This feat can’t be applied to any spell cast spontaneously
(including sorcerer spells, bard spells, and cleric or druid spells cast
spontaneously), since applying a metamagic feat to a spontaneously cast spell
automatically increases the casting time to a full-round action.
RANKED ATTACK [GENERAL]
You can attack around allies more effectively when using a reach weapon.
Region/Race:
Prerequisite: Weapon Focus with a reach weapon, base attack 1+
Benefit: You can use a reach weapon you have weapon focus with to attack
through a space (or spaces) containing an ally. You attack at a -2 penalty if
your ally or allies is your size or larger, if your allies are smaller, you
take no penalty. You can also threaten a space with a reached weapon you have
weapon focus with, even if an ally is in the way.
Special: A fighter may take this as one of his bonus feats.
Normal: An ally in between you and a target normally provides cover and
(in the process) may prevent attacks of opportunity.
RAPID RELOAD
[GENERAL]
Choose a type of crossbow (hand, light, or heavy).
Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (crossbow type chosen).
Benefit: The time required for you to reload your chosen type of
crossbow is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light crossbow) or a move
action (for a heavy crossbow). Reloading a crossbow still provokes an attack of
opportunity.
If you have selected this feat for hand crossbow or light crossbow, you may
fire that weapon as many times in a full attack action as you could attack if
you were using a bow.
Special: You can gain Rapid Reload multiple times. Each time you take
the feat, it applies to a new type of crossbow.
A fighter may select Rapid Reload as one of his fighter bonus feats.
RAPID SHOT
[GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: You can get one extra attack per round with a ranged weapon.
The attack is at your highest base attack bonus, but each attack you make in that
round (the extra one and the normal ones) takes a –2 penalty. You must use the
full attack action to use this feat.
Special: A fighter may select Rapid Shot as one of his fighter bonus
feats.
A 2nd-level ranger who has chosen the archery combat style is treated as having
Rapid Shot, even if he does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he
is wearing light or no armor.
REMEDY [GENERAL]
You can make herbal remedies to accelerate long term healing
Prerequisite: 4 ranks Healing, 4 ranks Profession (Herbalist), Wisdom
13+
Benefit: If you make both a Heal and Profession (herbalist) check while
administering long term care, your patient heals an additional 2 points of
damage per level per day (see Healing).
RETALIATORY STRIKE [GENERAL]
Your swift reflexes allow you to make one retaliatory strike with a light
weapon
Prerequisite: Proficiency with weapon, +1 base attack bonus, Weapon
Finesse
Benefit: When using a light weapon, if you are struck in melee and are
neither flat footed nor flanked, you may launch one free strike per round as a
retaliatory strike, at your full attack bonus and with half your strength
modifier added to your damage.
Special: A fighter may take this as one of his bonus feats.
READ THE RUNES [GENERAL]
You can use Runecraft to gain additional insight about the future or past.
Region/Race: Norseland;
Dwarf
Prerequisite: Wisdom 11, Runecraft 4
ranks.
Benefit: On a successful Runecraft check (DC 20), you receive either a
+2 to your next Bardic Knowledge or Lore check, or to their caster level for
the next divination spell you cast, unless the spell is augury or divination. In
that case, after a successful Runecraft check, you receive a +10% bonus to the augury check (maximum of 90% still
applies). Reading the runes takes 10 minutes. The Runecraft check itself should
be made when the spell is cast or the Bardic Knowledge or Loree check made.
Special: If desired, the full reading of the runes can be simulated, as
described under the Rune Magic section.
RUNECAST [GENERAL]
You can “cast” a rune
Region/Race: Norseland; Dwarf.
Prerequisite: Wisdom 11, Runecraft 1+ ranks.
Benefit: You know and can cast a particular rune, as described in the
Rune Magic section of the Magic Chapter. To learn a rune, pick one, and make a
Runecraft check (DC 20). If you succeed, you know that particular rune. If you
fail, pick another and try again until you make the check. You cannot take 10 or
20 on this check, and at least one day must pass after failing the learn check
before it can be attempted again. Once
learned, you can cast the rune once per day.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take
the feat, you can try to learn a new rune (including one you failed to learn in
the past), and increase the number times per day you cast runes by one. For
example, if you have taken this feat twice, you can know two different runes,
and cast runes a total of two times per day, i.e. cast one rune twice, the
other rune twice, or each rune once.
A runecrafter or
runecarver can cast runes without this feat. A runecrafter or runecarver with
this feat knows one additional rune, and can cast one additional rune per day.
RIDE-BY ATTACK [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.
Benefit: When you are mounted and use the charge action, you may move
and attack as if with a standard charge and then move again (continuing the
straight line of the charge). Your total movement for the round can’t exceed
double your mounted speed. You and your mount do not provoke an attack of
opportunity from the opponent that you attack.
Special: A fighter may select Ride-By Attack as one of his fighter bonus
feats.
RUN [GENERAL]
Benefit: When running, you move five times your normal speed (if wearing
medium, light, or no armor and carrying no more than a medium load) or four
times your speed (if wearing heavy armor or carrying a heavy load). If you make
a jump after a running start (see the Jump skill description), you gain a +4
bonus on your Jump check. While running, you retain your Dexterity bonus to AC.
Normal: You move four times your speed while running (if wearing medium,
light, or no armor and carrying no more than a medium load) or three times your
speed (if wearing heavy armor or carrying a heavy load), and you lose your
Dexterity bonus to AC.
SCRIBE SCROLL
[ITEM CREATION]
Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.
Benefit: You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a
scroll takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a
scroll is its spell level x its caster level x 25 gp. To scribe a scroll, you
must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing
one-half of this base price.
Any scroll that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost
also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the
base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when scribing
the scroll.
SEA TRADER [GENERAL]
You are an exceptional trader and sailor
Region/Race:
Benefit: You know the ins and outs of sea travel and trading in ports.
You receive a +1 bonus to Appraise, Bluff, and Profession (Sailor) checks. You
also increase by 10% the daily movement of any ship you pilot and gain
Germanish (Mark Cant), Romansh (Lombard) or Greek (Byzantine) as a bonus
language.
SELF-SUFFICIENT [GENERAL]
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Heal checks and Survival checks.
SHIELD AND SPEAR

You can fight with a spear and a shield
Prerequisite: BAB 1+, Shield Proficiency, Spear Proficiency.
Benefit: You may use a spear as a one handed weapon at no penalty.
SHIELD PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
Benefit: You can use a shield and take only the standard penalties.
Special: Barbarians, bards, clerics, druids, fighters, paladins, and
rangers automatically have Shield Proficiency as a bonus feat. They need not
select it.
SHOT ON THE RUN [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot, base attack
bonus +4.
Benefit: When using the attack action with a ranged weapon, you can move
both before and after the attack, provided that your total distance moved is
not greater than your speed.
Special: A fighter may select Shot on the Run as one of his fighter
bonus feats.
SIGNATURE SKILL [GENERAL]
You are skilled at an esoteric or otherwise unknown skill to your class.
Benefit: Choose any one skill. It is considered a class skill, no matter
your class. In addition, you gain 2 free rank in this skill when this feat is
chosen (maximum ranks still apply).
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack, each time you take this feat it applies to a new skill.
SILENT SPELL
[METAMAGIC]
Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells
without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot
one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
Special: Bard spells cannot be enhanced by this metamagic feat.
SIMPLE WEAPON PROFICIENCY [GENERAL]
Benefit: You make attack rolls with simple weapons normally.
Normal: When using a weapon with which you are not proficient, you take
a –4 penalty on attack rolls.
Special: All characters except for druids, monks, and wizards are
automatically proficient with all simple weapons. They need not select this
feat.
SKILL FOCUS
[GENERAL]
Choose a skill.
Benefit: You get a +3 bonus on all checks involving that skill.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not
stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill.

You have benefited from a long and difficult apprenticeship
Region/Race: Any Human; Dwarf, Gnome
Prerequisite: Constitution 11+
Benefit: You gain four ranks in any one Craft or Profession skill -
