Feats for Peruhain’s Blackmoor Campaign

Each PC (excepting those with fey blood) will be able to select one background feat at 1st level. This feat should be connected in some way to the character’s backstory. The following lists provide some suggestions that can be connected with a PC’s origins, ancestry, or experiences to give your character that certain je ne sais quoi that makes him or her special and unique. Of course I’m willing to consider granting you a background feat not listed below, at my discretion. Some of these feats (in particular the Arcane Ancestry feats) are the root of a feat tree, and where that is the case I’ve provided the branches as well so you can get some ideas for how you might develop your character. I will provide full descriptions of any feats you are considering for your character in the event that you do not have access to these sources. The sources should be generally available on e-bay, and some of the Dragon back-issues may still be available from the publisher (Paizo).

Greyhawk Regional Feats

Source: Erik Mona, “Greyhawk: Regional Feats of Oerth,” Dragon 315 (Jan. 2004): 50-54.

These feats are designed to give PCs a bit of local flavor in keeping with their backstory or origins. More feats are available in the source article—I have summarized below the ones that would most likely be suitable for PCs starting their careers in the land of Blackmoor. Generally these feats are only available at 1st level, but a character may take an additional feat from this list at a later date with DM approval.

Arcane Ancestry Feats

Sources: Scott Carter, “Arcane Ancestry: Bloodline Feats for the Sorcerer,” Dragon 311 (Sep. 2003): 32-40.Scott Carter, “Arcane Ancestry 2: More Bloodline Feats for Sorcerers,” Dragon 325 (Nov. 2004): 46-52.William L. Christensen, “Aquatic Fey Kin,” Dragon 335 (Sep. 2005): 93.I have added a few feats of my own invention to round out this collection.

Arcane Ancestry feats provide a series of feat trees for sorcerers based on the source of the arcane bloodline that powers the character’s sorcerous abilities. A character may choose only one arcane bloodline, which adds one spell of each level to the sorcerer’s list of spells known, balanced by removing some class of spells from the sorcerer’s spell list. The base feats are quite powerful, but I feel they are an excellent addition to the game because they provide excellent hooks for roleplaying, character development, and backstory. The choice of an arcane bloodline may be taken at first level, or at some subsequent time. In the latter case, it would represent the discovery of the bloodline and/or the unlocking of its full powers. If a sorcerer already knows a spell on the bloodline spell list, he may not exchange that for a new one when he takes the feat, and he loses the ability to cast any spell that the feat removes from his spell list. The Arcane Ancestry bloodlines form the basis of a series of feat trees, so that each bloodline can bring additional benefits besides spellcasting. If you are interested in an underdeveloped feat tree, I’m willing to invent some additional feats to flesh that feat tree out.

For the present campaign, sorcerers with the fey, fire, water, earth, or penumbral bloodlines would be most appropriate, but other bloodlines are certainly possible.

Frostfell Feats

Source: Wolfgang Baur, James Jacobs, and George Strayton, Frostburn: Mastering the Perils of Ice and Snow (Wizards of the Coast, 2004).

A frigid land on the verges of the Flanaess’s arctic regions, Blackmoor is a place where those who venture beyond their villages into the “frostfell” must adapt to the cold or die. PCs may find these feats a great aid to their survival . . . .

I’m listing here a selection of feats from Frostburn that might be appropriate for this campaign, omitting some that would not be suitable or appropriate to PCs starting their careers in Blackmoor. Also listed are follow-on feats that might be useful for different character classes who want to give a frostfell theme to their abilities or qualify for a prestige class from Frostburn.

Miscellaneous Homebrewed Feats

AlyshaarThe Alyshaar matures inside you, granting several benefits and drawbacks.

Prerequisites: Character level 9, Curse of the Alyshaar

The dormant soul of Ulrezaj awakens inside of you, placing a third entity inside your body. Due to the constant pressure in your mind you become extremely resilient to any kind of mental attack from the outside, gaining +2 to Will saving throws.

Additionally, the empowering presence of the last Prince of Darkness inside of you grants you a boon of shadows that emulates the effects of the Sustaining Shadow class ability of the Shadowcaster of level equal to your character level.

The shard of the Naraka is both a boon and a curse, for it attracts negative attention from deities of light and law. In areas consecrated to gods of light or law, the Alyshaar receives penalties as if he were an undead creature (note that the Alyshaar can't be turned like undead). Furthermore, spells cast by priests of light or law treat the Alyshaar as if he were Chaotic Evil regardless of his true alignment. A detect evil spell would show an evil aura inside of him, as if he were possessed by an evil entity.

Favored Vestige GraftYou can permanently graft two favored vestiges together, so that you bind the two as a single entity and access the powers of both seemlessly and simultaneously.

Prerequisites: Greater Spliced Binding, Favored Vestige (taken at least twice)

Special: This feat may be taken more than once. Each time it is taken, two new favored vestiges are grafted together. However, a given vestige may only be party to one graft in an individual binder. The feat also takes a short ritual to activate, the nature of which is at the DM’s discretion.

With this feat, you create a permanent bond between two vestiges, with your own soul as mediator between the two. You can bind the two vestiges simultaneously as though they were a single vestige. You are no longer in danger of making a poor pact with the grafted vestiges, and you do not have to openly display their signs, even when it would otherwise be required to access a particular power. You may freely access all powers granted by both vestiges as if they were a single entitity, and the grafted vestige counts as a single vestige for purposes of the number of vestiges you can bind at a given time.

In exchange for this power, the grafted vestiges may no longer be expelled before a pact expires, and when the ritual is completed to activate the feat, the character must choose one minor reflection of each vestige’s sign that becomes a permanent part of the character’s appearance or features—for example, a graft of Amon and Agares might give the grafter a tiny set of horns that are ordinarily covered by his hair, and a mannerism of coughing once before beginning a conversation.

A pair of grafted vestiges may not be spliced with a third vestige.

When binding a grafted pair of vestiges, a single binding check is made, with a DC equal to the higher of the two vestiges’ binding DCs plus two.

Greater Spliced BindingYou can switch between spliced vestiges as a swift action, and can draw on the powers of both spliced vestiges simultaneously with some effort. You no longer suffer any penalties to binding checks while maintaining a splice.

Prerequisites: Improved Spliced Binding

When you you make a spliced binding pact with two vestiges at once, you may focus as a swift action to switch between active vestiges, and doing so does not draw attacks of opportunity. Additionally, if both spliced vestiges are favored vestiges, you can use a swift action each round to “juggle” the two vestiges, accessing the powers of each vestige. “Juggling” allows you to take advantage of any “always active” effects granted by both vestiges at once, as long as you have a swift action to spend juggling, and additionally you can activate powers from both vestiges in a single round as long as you do not exceed your quota of actions for the round. For example, if you juggle Andras and Andromalius, as a swift action, you could use Andromalius’s see the unseen to attack an invisible enemy with a greatsword (which you would only be proficient with through Andras’s weapon proficiency power), and use both Andras’s smite good or evil and Andromalius’s sneak attack special abilites if the conditions allow it. You could not, however, cast a quickened spell in the same round, because you would have used your swift action to juggle the two vestiges.

If you are “juggling” two vestiges, at the beginning of your next turn you must either expend another swift action to continue “juggling” them, or you must decide which of the two vestiges remains active and which goes passive.

Additionally, you no longer suffer any penalties to binding checks while you have a spliced binding pact active.

Improved Spliced BindingYou can switch between spliced vestiges as a move action, and you no longer suffer penalties on binding checks to make a spliced binding if both vestiges involved are favored vestiges.

Prerequisites: Spliced Binding

You become more adept at handling spliced binding pacts. When you make a spliced binding pact with two vestiges at once, you may focus as a move action to switch between active vestiges, and doing so does not draw attacks of opportunity.

Additionally, you no longer suffer the –5 penalty on a binding check for a favored vestige involved in the splice or bound after you have made the splice. You still suffer a penalty for binding checks on non-favored vestiges made while you have a spliced binding pact active.

Knavish BattlerYou can add up to four levels of other classes to your levels of rogue or another class granting the Sneak Attack special ability for purposes of determining how many extra dice of damage you do with a successful Sneak Attack.

Prerequisites: Sneak Attack special ability, BAB +5

Special: This feat may be taken as a Fighter bonus feat

With this feat, you add your levels in classes that do not grant the Sneak Attack special ability to your levels in Rogue and other Sneak Attack-granting classes for purposes of determining how many dice of extra damage you do with a successful Sneak Attack. You may add no more than four levels (equating to 2d6 damage) in this way.

Lord of ShadowsThe Alyshaar becomes more awake inside you, granting you additional benefits and drawbacks.

Prerequisites: Alyshaar, Character level 12

The dormant soul of Ulrezaj is awakened even more inside of you, his power over shadows empowers your control over darkness. Shadows twist and bow in front of the reincarnation of the Last Prince of Darkness wherever he goes. All powers over shadows that require total darkness to work now may be used in places with shadowy illumination.

Becoming a Lord of Shadows and revealing your true nature as the reincarnation of Ulrezaj makes the gods of light mark you as an enemy. Exposure to sunlight deals damage equal to 1 point of nonlethal damage per hour of exposure. This damage only heals when the Alyshaar is not being touched by the rays of the sun. A daylight effect does not cause this damage, only true sunlight does.

Spliced BindingYou can bind one extra vestige.

Prerequisites: Favored Vestige (both vestiges to be spliced).

You may choose to incorporate a second vestige in with a normal vestige binding ritual. At least one of the two vestiges involved in a spliced binding must be a favored vestige. A spliced binding ritual involves making separate pacts and binding checks with each vestige. Thus the greater complexity and continued strain of the ritual imparts a -5 penalty on each binding check involved in the splice, and upon all subsequent binding checks that day. If the binder makes a bad pact with both spliced vestiges, the binder suffers the influences of both vestiges. Where those influences are opposed, the vestige with the higher binding DC holds sway, with a random die roll mediating a tie.

Additionally, the spliced vestiges cannot both grant powers at the same time. With a standard action to focus (which provokes attacks of opportunity), a binder may switch between which of the two spliced vestiges is active.
