They also don't cover all of the classes.<a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/wiki/index.php/Epic_6/Character_Creation" target="_blank">Epic 6/Character Creation - Myth-Wiki</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/206323-e6-game-inside-d-d.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/206323-e6-game-inside-d-d.html</a>I have been working on creating/modifying the feats to better suit PF, and I'm looking for some feedback, criticism etc. I'm taking the 'lean upward' approach when designing these feats. I have also not created feats for most of the classes available in APG, UC, UM as I am not as familiar with their abilities and what would make a good capstone for them. Please refrain from criticizing E6/P6 versus a full 20 level game, it's not for everyone but I think it would give the feel I am shooting for.Without further preface...Unless otherwise noted, these feats may only be taken once.Ability TrainingYou spend time honing one of your Abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.  Prerequisites: Character level 6  Benefit: Choose on Ability; treat that Ability as having a +2 bonus to that Ability Score whenever you are making an Ability Check. This bonus does not count when making a skill check or for any other use of that ability.  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 AdvancementYour training pays off, and one of your Abilities increases.  Prerequisites: Ability Training  Benefit: Choose one Ability for which you have already taken Ability Training. You gain a permanent +2 bonus to that ability. This bonus overwrites the effects of the Ability Training feat.  Special: You can gain this feat multiple times; its effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat it applies to another ability.Acid BlastYou learn to conjure a powerful acidic blast.  Prerequisites: Ability to cast 3rd level arcane spells, Ability to cast a Conjuration spell with the acid descriptor.  Benefit: By expending a 3rd level spell slot, you may fire an orb of acid as a ranged touch attack. The orb has a range of 25 feet plus 5 feet per two caster levels, and deals 1d6 acid damage per caster level, maximum 10d6. The orb ignores Spell Resistance, and is treated as a 3rd level Conjuration [Acid] spell in all respects.  Special: If you prepare arcane spells, you may prepare Acid Blast as if it was a 3rd level spell.Arcane Armor Experience (Combat)Your ability to cast spells while wearing armor improves.  Prerequisites: Arcane Armor Training, Light Armor Proficiency, Caster level 5th  Benefit: As a swift action, reduce the arcane spell failure chance due to the armor you are wearing by 15% for any spells you cast this round. Additionally, your caster level is considered to be 7th for purposes of qualifying for the Arcane Armor Mastery feat.Barbaric ResilienceYour skin hardens, allowing you to shrug-off minor damage.  Prerequisites: Barbarian 6  Benefit: You gain Damage Reduction 1/- as a 7th level Barbarian.BoonYou receive another benefit from your curse.  Prerequisites: Oracle 6  Benefit: You treat your Oracle level as 10 for purposes of determining the effects of your curse.Caster TrainingYou become a more accomplished spellcaster.  Prerequisites: Character level 6, 1 or more levels in a spellcasting class  Benefit: Your caster level increases by 4, to a maximum of 6. This feat does not give new spells known or more spells per day; it only increases your caster level.Combat Style DepthYour ranger training grants you specialized combat abilities.  Prerequisites: Ranger 6  Benefit: You may take as general feats any feats that your Ranger could take as a 6th level combat style feat, regardless of the prerequisites. Additionally, Two-Weapon Rend is considered a 6th level combat style feat for rangers that selected the Two Weapon Combat style.Cone of ColdYou are able to harness the element of cold.  Prerequisites: Ability to cast 3rd level Evocation spells  Benefit: Cone of Cold is considered to be a 3rd level arcane spell for you in all respects, and can deal up to 10d6 damage.  Special: If you cast spells spontaneously, Cone of Cold is added to your list of spells known.Dedicated TrainingYou begin a grueling training regimen to enhance your abilities.  Prerequisites: Monk 6  Benefit: You may take as general feats any feats that your Monk could take as a 6th level bonus feat, regardless of the prerequisites.Dirge of DoomYou have learned how to inspire dread in your enemies.  Prerequisites: Bard 6  Benefit: You gain the Dirge of Doom performance as an 8th level Bard.Elemental Wild ShapeYou learn the form of an elemental.  Prerequisites: Druid 6  Benefit: You can use wild shape to change into a Medium elemental; this functions as elemental body II.Energy ResistanceYou are able to tolerate energy that would harm others.  Prerequisites: Character level 6th  Benefit: Choose one type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). You gain resistance 2 to that type of energy, or your existing resistance to that type of energy increases by one category: 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, +10 each additional step. This feat does not stack with energy resistance granted by magical items or nonpermanent magical effects.  Special: You can take this feat multiple times.Epic SpellYou are able to cast much more potent spells than other casters of your level.  Prerequisites: Ability to cast 3rd level spells, Caster level 6  Benefit: Choose one 4th level spell from your class, bloodline, domain, mystery, etc spell list. You are able to cast this spell once per day.  Special: This feat may be taken more than once, each time it either applies to a new spell or lets you cast an already known spell one more time per day.EvasionWhile not as nimble as some, you’re more nimble than most.  Prerequisites: Character level 6th, Dex 17, Lightning Reflexes  Benefit: You gain Evasion. If you already have Evasion from another source, you instead gain Improved Evasion.[Normally I wouldn't advocate making this a feat, but without it the Rogue and Monk would never get Improved Evasion, and the Ranger would never get Evasion. I figure the Dex 17 requirement will exclude most of the heavily armored types.]Excelling FlurryYou are able to strike more proficiently when using flurry of blows.  Prerequisites: Monk 6  Benefit: Your Flurry of Blows is calculated as though you are Monk 7.Expanded Caster StaminaYou gain the ability to cast more spells per day.  Prerequisites: Character level 6  Benefit: You gain 1 or more new spell slots, with spells levels totaling to half of your caster level. Treat 0th level spells as ½. Thus, a sixth level Wizard could gain one 3rd level slot, one 1st and one 2nd level slot, three 1st level slots, or 6 0th level slots. This feat cannot provide spell slots higher than you can already cast. If using Elements of Magic then you gain a number of spell points equal to your caster level.  Special: You may take this feat multiple times; each time you take it, it provides more spell slots.Extra Favored TerrainThrough exploration of the world you feel at home in a second type of terrain.  Prerequisites: Ranger 6  Benefit: You gain a second favored terrain.  Special: You must choose a terrain you have spent a significant amount of time in.Flurry MasterYour flurry of blows reaches a pinnacle of technique.  Prerequisites: Monk 6, Excelling Flurry  Benefit: Your Flurry of Blows is calculated as though you are Monk 8.Uncanny PrescienceBackstabbing others has taught you how to avoid the same fate.  Prerequisites: Rogue 6  Benefit: You gain Uncanny Dodge.

This feat has no effect on attacks from opponents other than the one target specified. This cover cannot be used to make Stealth checks.  Special: “Movement towards” is considered to be any movement that ends closer to the target than it began, even if part of the move is away or parallel.Skill Beyond Your YearsYour proficiency in a skill becomes more apparent.  Prerequisites: Character level 6  Benefit: Pick a skill; the maximum number of ranks you can invest in the skill increases by 3.  Special: You may take this feat multiple times; each time it applies to a new skill.Skill Under PressureYour talent is such that you can perform even under the most pressing situations.  Prerequisites: Rogue 6  Benefit: Select one skill.
