Special: You can gain this feat multiple times, its effects do not stack.  Each time you take this feat it applies to another ability.Ability Advancement [General] Your training pays off, and one of your Abilities increases.  Prerequisite: Ability Training in the same ability.Benefit: Choose one Ability.  You gain a permanent +2 bonus to that ability.  This bonus does not stack with the benefit from Ability Training.Special: You can gain this feat multiple times, its effects do not stack.  Each time you take this feat it applies to another ability.Advanced Training [General] Prerequisite: Level 6, any +2/+2 skill feat (such as Alertness)Benefit: Choose a pair of skills you have maximum ranks in (9 for a class skill, 4.5 for cross class) and for which you have taken the appropriate +2/+2 feat (such as Alertness for Spot/Listen).  You gain +2 ranks in each skill.Special: You may select this feat multiple times.  Each time, select a different pair of skills.Barbaric Resilience [General] Prerequisite: Barbarian 6Benefit: You gain DR 1/--  Bardic Inspiration [General] Prerequisite: Bard level 6Benefit: The bonus granted by your inspire courage ability increases to +2.Bardic Greatness [General] Prerequisite: Bard level 6, Perform 12 ranksBenefit: You gain the ability to Inpsire Greatness in a single ally with your bardic music.Special: Inspire Greatness requires 12 perform ranks to use, so you must first obtain Skill Beyond Your Years in a perform skill.Caster Training (General)You become a more accomplished spellcaster.Requirements: Character level 6, at least 2 spellcasting classesBenefit: Your caster level increases by 3 in two of your spellcasting classes, to a maximum of 6.   Note this only affects Caster Level (i.e., more dice on your damage, no new spells or slots).Disciplined Essence [General] Prerequisite: Monk 6Benefit: You gain Ki Strike (lawful) and Wholeness of Body.  You can use Wholeness of Body as an immediate action.Excelling Flurry [General]Prereq: Monk 6Benefit: You use Flurry of Blows with no penalty to your attack bonus.

Add this aura to your list of auras known. In addition, choose one Major or Draconic aura you know (you may choose the aura learned with this feat.) The bonus granted by that aura increases by +1.Extra Domain Access [General] Prerequisities: Wis 18 +, Cleric level 6, Knowledge (religion) 9 ranks, Extra Domain Power, Skill Focus: Knowledge (religion)Benefit: You gain access to the domain spell list of one additional domain assciated with your deity.  This domain must be the same one as that chosen for the Extra Domain Power feat.

This feat may be taken multiple times.Tireless Rage [General]Prerequisites: Barbarian 6Benefit: You are no longer fatigued at the end of your rage.  You may still only rage once in any encounter.Wondrous Rings [General] Prerequisites: 6th level, Craft Wondrous ItemBenefit: You treat rings as wondrous items for the purpose of meeting item creation prerequisites.  You must still meet caster level requirements for any ring you create.[/sblock]I didn't get to actual feats for the non-core classes yet, but had some rough ideas laid out:[sblock]BeguilerA feat to get advanced learning, so they can add one more spell to their list.DuskbladeA feat to use heavy shields without spell failure, and another to gain Quick Cast 1/day.Dragon ShamanAlready have Extra Aura.  Perhaps a feat for +1d6 breath weapon damage.Favored SoulFeat for Weapon Specialization w/ deity's favored weapon?HexbladeFeat for Greater Curse and +1 use/day.  Possibly a feat for Aura of Unluck 1/day.  Not like Hexblade 6 is overpowered.KnightFeat for Fighting Challenge +2.  Could do feats for Call to Battle and Armor Master (heavy).MarshalIn keeping with Bard and Knight, maybe i should get rid of Extra Aura and just make a feat for Major Aura +2.  Could also do a feat for Grant Move Action an extra time per day.Ninja (C.Adv. crappy version, not mine)A single feat to both give Ghost Strike and Ghost Step (ethereal).  Note, in E6, I'm not sure if the ninja could easily get a ghost touch weapon...  Ninja need another capstone feat, but Speed Climb is way too poor to make its own feat.Samurai: ...Why would anyone play this.  Not worth my time. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />ScoutFeat for Camouflage.  I don't think a feat for blindsense 30 ft is too out of line, either.SpellthiefTough call.  Absorb Spell might be worth its own feat.  If not...also increase Spell Grace to +2?  Arcane sight (as the class feature) could also make a decent feat.Spirit Shaman: I'll worry about it if someone makes one.SwashbucklerUmm...some combination of Acrobatic Skill Mastery, Acrobatic Charge, and Improved Flanking condensed into 2 balanced feats.WarlockA feat to gain a second lesser invocation (otherwise impossible).  A feat for Fiendish Resilience 1 that also raises the DR to 2/cold iron.  Possibly a feat for +1d6 EB, though not sure that's necessary.WarmageA feat for Armored Mage (medium) is actually still useful, since you can only take the generic feat to increase the armor rating you can cast in once, so with this you could blast in full plate eventually.  Warmages need something else.  Something cool and unique...Maybe +1/day on all Sudden Metamagic feats they possess.  And toss in Sudden Enlarge in that fat package for good measure. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]EDIT: Oops.  "Extra Aura" is with the fleshed out feats even though it's for non-core classes because my friend asking about a capstone feat like that was what got me started on the whole endeavor.  So first sblock is 99% core.</blockquote>
