MEGA-FEATS MEGA-FEA TS VOL. II Welcome to our second volume of Mega-Feats! Included in this book are over 90 new feats, as well as a section of new Flaws to add flavor to your game, in addition to several new spells and other items. Lets dive right into the new Feats. But first, a few notes of clarification:  The term “bonded creature” is used to collectively refer to a familiar, animal companion, special mount, fiendish servant, or psicrystal. Feats with the “fighter” tag may be taken as bonus feats by fighters. Optional Rule: Any creature with the Extraplanar subtype (such as fiendish servants and some improved familiars), when it becomes a bonded creature, treats its master’s home plane as being its home plane also. The bonded creature’s native plane is effectively a foreign plane until it is no longer a bonded creature.

Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: See text Target: One suit of armor  Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance:  No This spell summons a single suit of armor of your choice, making it appear on your body instantly without having to be donned. The armor must have your arcane mark  on  on it, otherwise the spell fails automatically.. If you are already wearing armor when automatically you cast this spell, then the armor you are wearing automatically falls off you, landing at your feet in your space, as the summoned armor appears on you.

If you do not have a free hand when you cast this spell, the holy symbol instead appears on a small chain around your neck. This spell cannot call a specific holy symbol; rather, a servant of your deity automatically answers the spell, sending a generic holy symbol to you.

SIDEBAR Rather than specializing in a particular school or sub-school of magic, it’s possible for a wizard to specialize in a particular spell descriptor, such as evil, fire, or mind-affecting. These “descriptor specialist” wizards gain the same bonuses as other

specialists (they may prepare one extra spell of the chosen descriptor at each spell level, and gain a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks check s to learn spells of that descriptor), and in exchange must give up a single other descriptor of spells, forsaking spells of that descriptor forever. At the GM’s option, certain descriptors will automatically determine which descriptor is thusly forsaken. Specializing in Good spells, for example, may require that Evil spells be given up. Also at the GM’ GM’ss option, this type of specialization may be open to other kinds of spellcasters besides wizards. Bear in mind that this may benefit certain other spellcasting classes disproportionally,, however. A neutral good cleric that disproportionally specialized in Good spells, for example, would not be giving anything up, since good clerics cannot cast Evil spells anyway.

METASPELLS For some spellcasters, metamagic feats are an impractical option. Whether because they need to conserve feat slots, or because increased casting times are too disadvantageous, metamagic feats remain nonviable for spellcasters who’d otherwise enjoy their effects. That’ss where metaspells come in. That’ Metaspells are spells that have one or more metamagic effects built into them, instead of being applied separately as a feat. For example, instead of taking the Chain Spell feat and then applying it to your lightning bolt , you could just use the metaspell chain lightning . By building a metamagic effect into the spell itself, the need for a particular feat is eliminated at the cost of versatility,, since by itself that effect can’t be applied to versatility any others spells the character has. Metaspells always have a spell level equal to the base spell plus the level increase that the metamagic metamag ic feat would cause; all other aspects of the metaspell are the same as the base spell, save for the metamagic effect. Because metaspells are considered to be unmodified spells of their own, spontaneous spellcasters do not have an increased casting time for using them. Likewise, they cannot be counterspelled using the  base spell (though, at the GM’s GM’s option, someone

using the base spell modified by the same metamagic feats that are built into the metaspell might be able to counterspell it). You You may add metamagic feats to a metaspell as you would any other spell; the exception is a metamagic feat whose effect is already built into a metaspell. A metaspell that functions as a Widened  fireball  may  may not then have the Widen Spell feat applied to it. Introducing metaspells into your game is as easy as adding a metamagic effect onto an existing spell, raising the spell level by the appropriate amount, and changing the name. A fourth-level metaspell that functions as a Maximized magic missile could missile could  be named heavy missiles, missiles, for example. exa mple. You You could even remove metamagic feats entirely, having all such effects be present only in the form of v arious metaspells. Characters may create their own metaspells, the same way they would create any other new spells. Doing so requires that they be of high enough level (and have a high enough requisite ability score) to cast spells of the level they want to create, as well as have access to a well-stocked library. Researching the process to create the new spell is lengthy, requiring one week  per the new spell’s spell’s level, at a cost of 1,000 gp per week; this cost is halved if the PC has access to all of the metamagic feats she wants to build into the new metaspell (such as by having taken the feats herself, or with a metamagic rod , but not from someone else who has taken those metamagic feats). Finally, Finally, she must then make a Spellcraft check (DC + the new spell’ss level). Success means spell’ me ans that the character c haracter has created the new spell. Failure means the spell was not created, and the character must start over from scratch.  Note that creating a spell does not automatically add it to a character’s spells known list, nor mean it is automatically inscribed in a character’s character ’s spellbook. spellbook. Finally,, a character cannot create a metaspell that has Finally an epic metamagic effect built into it (though if such metaspells exist, she may cast it normally) unless she is herself an epic level spellcaster. Metapowers are the psionic version of metaspells, and follow all of the same rules. Researching a new  psionic power requires uninterrupted meditation for one week per level of the power on the part of the  psionic characer, and an expenditure of 200 XP per week. At the end of that time, the character makes

a Psicraft check (DC 10 + the power’s level) with success meaning the power is created, and failure meaning it is not; the character may try again from the beginning if the check fails. As with with new spells, creating a new psionic power does not automatically add it to a character’s character ’s powers known. When creating a metapower from an existing psionic  power, every 2 point increase to the metapower’s  power point cost increases the power’s level by one (for example, chain energy ray, ray, a metapower of Chain Power and energy ray, ray, would cost a base 7 power  points, and would be a 4th-level psion/wilder power). Since metapowers are considered to be unmodified  psionic powers, they do not require a character to expend psionic focus to use them. -END-
