|Req=None
|Specifics=The character uses one attack from a flurry. If the attack hits, the target's weakness is exposed: Every round for 5 rounds the target takes damage equal to the character's [[Dexterity]] bonus (minimum of 1). This damage ignores all damage reductions and immunities. During this time, the target's [[AC]] is also reduced by 3. This ability has a cooldown of 6 seconds.
|Use=Automatic
}}
== Note ==
August 2017: Expose Weakness has been reworked so that an on-hit property is added to the weapon. This fixes the auto-hit bug used by vanilla Expose Weakness. Everything else about the custom feat works as the original.

{{FeatInfo|type=General

|Prereq=[[Intelligence|Int]] 13+, [[Combat Expertise]]

|Req=Class:[[Invisible Blade]]

|Specifics= The Feint feat can be used to deny your opponent their [[Dexterity|DEX]] bonus to [[AC]] for a combat round. In order for it to succeed you make a [[Bluff]] check with a target DC of the target's [[Base Attack Bonus]] plus their [[Spot]] skill. Regardless of whether their DEX bonus is removed, you only get a single attack that round (but Haste does stack with it). This feat is especially useful for rogues who can Sneak Attack with it. Any non-humanoid gets a +4 bonus to its DC. And against anything with a 1 or 2 intelligence it gets a +8 bonus to its DC. You can't feint against a non-intelligent creature.

|Use=Selected}}

== Gameplay Notes ==

To lay out the check and DC, they are:

Feint User: [[d20]] + Total [[Bluff]] skill
Target [[Difficulty_class|DC]]: [[d20]] + [[Base Attack Bonus]] + Total [[Spot]] skill + Other bonuses
Other bonuses:
+4 for non-humanoid
+8 if unintelligent (1 or 2 intelligence)
or Impossible if 0 intelligence.

If the check passes, the target loses their dexterity bonus and any dodge AC they might have for 6 seconds. If the targets dexterity bonus is 0 or less and they have no dodge AC, then there is little point in using this, unless the feinter is a rogue, as the target would meet the conditions necessary for a [[Sneak Attack]]. Note that the above formula for the target's DC is an educated guess, though it seems to be consistent with the results of this feat. There is a stochastic component to the target DC and it is modified by spot and BAB, it is unknown as to whether the "other bonuses" are added or not. This formula is consistent with the PnP target DC except that spot has been substituted for sense motive.

Contrary to the feat description, you do not lose any attacks using this ability other than the attack you sacrifice to make the feint attempt. Any of your allies attacking the feinted target will also benefit from the reduced AC and sneak attack susceptibility. You cannot feint with a ranged weapon.

Spellcasting Prodigy

2017-09-22T03:23:03Z

J3456789:

{{FeatInfo|type=Background
|Prereq=1st level background trait
|Req=None
|Specifics=For the purpose of determining bonus spells and the saving throw DCs of spells you cast, treat your primary spellcasting ability score (Charisma for bards and sorcerers, Wisdom for divine spellcasters, Intelligence for wizards) as 2 points higher than its actual value. If you have more than one spellcasting class, the bonus applies to all of those classes.
|Use=Automatic
}}

== Gameplay Notes ==
This is easily the most powerful first level feat a dedicated spellcaster can take, and is even better than many epic feats. It adds +1 to all [[save]] [[Difficulty_class|DC]]'s, making it like a Spell Focus: All. This would already make a very powerful feat, but Spellcasting Prodigy also grants bonus spells as if the character's spellcasting [[ability modifier]] were 2 higher. This will yield one additional spell at an ability score of 10-17 and at least two at 18+. Where it would grant an extra level 9 spell, it grants a total of three additional spells.

It is of note that it has a full impact on MAD (Multiple Ability Dependancy) Favored Souls and Spirit Shamans. This means Spellcasting Prodigy will boost Wisdom as well as Charisma on those classes, thus both improving spell slots and spellcasting DC.

Taking it means giving up another feat. However, because of how powerful this is, the decision isn't a hard one. Unless a character build absolutely requires the first-level feat be used some other way, all dedicated wizards and sorcerers should take this feat. Most clerics, druids, and spirit shaman should also take it, and spellcasting-focused favored souls and bards will also find it useful. Paladins and rangers will get basically no use from this feat and can ignore it. Warlocks can take this feat, but because they already have infinite spells per day, it basically acts like a spell focus:all feat for them, which is still rather powerful for warlocks focusing on improving their DCs.

'''Note:'''

Although this feat works perfectly for all classes in the single-player campaigns, it can fail to function in some online servers. Typically recreating the character anew with the feat will repair it.

This feat only ''simulates'' an increase in your ability scores - it does not actually increase them. A cleric with 14 Wisdom taking this feat will receive bonuses to spells and DC but will still be unable to cast level 5 or higher spells, for example.

This also allows a character to take advantage of an ability score of 52, even though such a physical score is disallowed by the game. This is convenient, as a score of 52 grants 4 bonus 9th-level spells, while a score of 50 can only grant 3. It is, however, unlikely (or impossible) for a character to naturally have a spell-casting ability score that high.
