You have finely tuned senses.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Listen and Spot checks.
Special: The master of a familiar gains the Alertness feat whenever the familiar is within arm's reach.
You are equally adept at using either hand.
Prerequisite: Dex 15+
Benefit: You ignore all penalties for using an off hand. You are neither left-handed nor right-handed.
Normal: Without this feat, a character who uses his or her off hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks, and skill checks. For example, a right-handed character wielding a weapon with her left hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls with that weapon.
Special: This feat helps offset the penalty for fighting with two weapons.
You are proficient with heavy armor.
Prerequisite: Armor Prof. (Medium)
Benefit: When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble checks.
Normal: A character who is wearing armor with which she is not proficient suffers its armor check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: Fighters, paladins, and clerics have this feat for free.
You are proficient with light armor.
Benefit: When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble checks.
Normal: A character who is wearing armor with which she is not proficient suffers its armor check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: All classes except wizards, sorcerers, and monks have this feat for free.
You are proficient with medium armor.
Prerequisite: Armor Prof. (Light)
Benefit: When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble checks.
Normal: A character who is wearing armor with which she is not proficient suffers its armor check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: Fighters, barbarians, paladins, rangers, clerics, druids, and bards have this feat for free. Wizards, sorcerers, rogues, and monks do not.
You can parry aside incoming arrows, as well as crossbow bolts, spears, and other shot or thrown weapons.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Weapon Focus (Chosen Weapon), Expertise
Benefit: When you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may use a AoO, if you have one available, to make a Reflex save against a DC of 20 (If the ranged weapon has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount). If you succeed, you deflect the weapon. You must be aware of the attack and not flat footed. Exceptionally large ranged weapons can't be deflected. Example: Large Boulder.
You can, with arrow in hand, strike out and hit opponents adjacent to you.
Prerequisites: Dex 15+, Quick Draw, Martial Weapon: Bow
Benefit: During your turn you can use one of your attacks to make a melee attack with an arrow (1d4, x2 crit, tiny, piercing). This arrow is jabbed into your opponent, not fired from your bow, and draws no attacks of opportunity. With this feat you threaten a 5' space around you as with normal melee weapons, and can make attacks of opportunity with an arrow. You are considered proficient with the arrow as a melee weapon, and the arrow is always wielded in the dominant hand with the bow in the off-hand. You can not fight with an arrow in both hands without incurring the normal two-weapon penalties.
Normal: A character using a ranged weapon does not threaten space therefore can not make attacks of opportunity. Characters who use an arrow as a melee weapon normally incur a -4 penalty to their attack roll for being non-proficient.
Special: This feat also applies to crossbow bolts.
Your sneak attacks target large blood vessels, leaving wounds that cause massive blood loss.
Prerequisite: BAB +4, sneak attack ability
Benefit: If you hit with a sneak attack, you may choose to forgo +1d6 points of your sneak attack damage to deliver a wound that won't stop bleeding. Each wound so inflicted does an additional 1 point of damage per round. Wounds from multiple arterial strikes result in cumulative blood loss. That is, two successful arterial strikes do an additional 2 points of damage per round. Blood loss, whether from one wound or several, stops when the victim receives one successful Heal check or any form of magical healing. Creatures not subject to sneak attack are immune to this effect.
You know how to fight in melee without being able to see your foes.
Benefit: In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit. An invisible attacker gets no bonus to hit you in melee. That is, you don't lose your positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker does't get the usual +2 bonus. The invisible attacker's bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however. You suffer only half the usual penalty to speed for being unable to see. Darkness and poor visibility in general reduces your speed to three-quarters of normal, instead of one-half.
Normal: Regular attack roll modifiers for invisible attackers trying to hit you apply, as does the speed reduction for darkness and poor visibility.
Special: The Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who is the subject of a blink spell.
You sense opponents in the darkness.
Prerequisite: Wis 19+, BAB +4, Blind-fight
Benefit: Using senses such as acute hearing and sensitivity to vibrations, you detect the location of opponents who are no more than 5 feet away from you. Invisibility and darkness are irrelevant, though you cannot discern noncorporeal beings. You can't hide from someone with blindsight (at least not without a barrier between you and the viewer).
You are skilled at using ranged weapons from a chariot.
Prerequisite: Chariot Combat
Benefit: The penalty you suffer when using a ranged weapon from the chariot is halved: -2 instead of -4 if your chariot is taking a double move, and -4 instead of -8 if your mounts are running.
You are skilled at charging with a chariot.
Prerequisite: Chariot Sideswipe
Benefit: When aboard a chariot and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple with a lance or longspear).
You are skilled in chariot combat.
Prerequisite: Handle Animal 1+
Benefit: Once per round when either of your steeds is hit, you may make a Handle Animal check to negate the hit. The hit is negated if your Handle Animal check is greater than the attack roll (essentially the Handle Animal check becomes the steed's regular AC).
You are trained in using your chariot to knock down opponents.
Prerequisite: Chariot Combat
Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent with your chariot, the target may not choose to avoid you. If you knock down the target, your steeds may each make one hoof attack against the opponent, gaining the standard +4 bonus on attack rolls against prone targets. The wheels of the chariot do a additional 2d6 points of damage automatically, but you must succeed in a Handle Animal check (DC varies by the size of opponent: Small 10, Medium 15, Large 20) or upend the chariot.
You are skilled at using your chariot's scythe blades against foes.
Prerequisite: Chariot Combat
Benefit: With a charge action, you can maneuver your chariot close to your foe, attack, sideswipe with the chariot's scythes (assuming it has any), and move away again (continuing the straight line of the charge). Your total movement for the round can't exceed double your chariot's speed. Neither you, nor your steeds, provoke attacks of opportunity from the opponent that you sideswipe.
You are an expert at slipping a weapon between armor plates or into seams.
Prerequisite: Expertise
Benefit: If you take a standard action to study an opponent, you can ignore half of his or her armor bonus (rounded down) during your next single attack. Only bonuses from actual armor (including natural armor) are halved, not those from shields, enhancement bonuses to armor, spells, or magic items that provide an armor bonus.
Kick multiple opponents with same attack action.
Prereq: Dex 15+, BAB +3, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: The first successful unarmed kick attack roll during your action allows you to make a second attack roll against a different opponent within the area that you threaten. This feat may only be used as part of a full-attack action and can be used as one of the attacks in multiple attacks or flurry of blows. The attack bonus used for the free strike is the same as the attack which triggered it.
Note: Note that only the first successful kick attack prompts the circle kick.
You can follow through with powerful blows.
Prerequisite: Str 13+, Power Attack
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points, killing it, etc.), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature in the immediate vicinity. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this ability once per round.
Note: You may not use this feat as part of a AoO.
You are skilled at close-quarter combat and resisting grappling.
Prerequisite: BAB +3
Benefit: When an enemy attempts to grapple you, any damage you inflict with a successful attack of opportunity provoked by the grapple attempt is added to your ensuing grapple check to avoid being grappled. Further, you are entitled to make an attack of oppurtunity even if the attacking creature has the improved grab ability. This feat does not give any additional attacks of oppurtunity beyond the usual.
You have a knack for dodging non-melee attacks made by adjacent foes.
Prerequisite: Dodge, Lightning Reflexes
Benefit: Whenever an opponent within 5 feet makes an attack, casts a spell, or uses an ability that requires you to make a Reflex save (such as a breath weapon or lightning bolt spell), you gain a +4 competence bonus to your Reflex save. If an adjacent opponent within 5 feet of your tries to hit you with a ranged attack or ranged touch attack, you gain a +4 dodge bonus to your AC. Regular touch attacks are not affected by this feat, and you must be able to see your foe for the feat to be effective.
You can respond quickly and repeatedly to opponents who let their defenses down.
Benefit: When foes leave themselves open, you may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your dexterity modifier. For example, a character with a Dexterity of 15 can make a total of three attacks of opportunity in a round: the one attack of opportunity any character is entitled to, plus two more attacks because of his +2 Dexterity bonus. If four goblins move through the character's threatened area, he can make attacks of opportunity against three of the four. You still only make one attack of opportunity per enemy. You may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Normal: A character not capable of this feat can make only one attack of opportunity per round and can't make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Special: A rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat still can still only apply his opportunist ability, if he has it, to one attack of oppurtunity per round.
You move faster than normal for your race.
Prereq: Run
Benefit: If you are wearing light armor or no armor and are carrying a light load, your speed is 5 feet faster than it normally would be.
You waste no time dealing with downed foes.
Prereq: BAB +2, Improved Initiative
Benefit: You can perform a coup de grace as a standard action instead of a full action.
You can deflect incoming arrows, as well as crossbow bolts, spears, and other shot or thrown weapons.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. When you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may use a AoO, if you have one available, to make a Reflex save against a DC of 20 (If the ranged weapon has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount). If you succeed, you deflect the weapon. You must be aware of the attack and not flat footed. Exceptionally large ranged weapons can't be deflected. Example: Large Boulder.
You are skilled at the brutal and effective fighting tactics of the streets and back alleys.
Prerequisite: BAB +2
Benefit: The first successful melee attack you make against each opponent in a fight inflicts an additional +1d4 points of damage. This feat may only be used as part of a full attack action.
Special: This extra damage follows the same guidelines as sneak attack and ranger favored enemy damage in that certain types of creatures (constructs, undead, etc.) are immune to it. This benefit may only be gained if the character makes a Knowledge (Monster Lore) (DC 15 + creature rarity) in order to know the creatures weakness. The creatures own race is automatic.
You are adept at dodging blows.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+
Benefit: Durring your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. You can select a new opponent on any action.
Note: A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Also, dodge bonuses (such as this one and a dwarf's racial bonus to dodge giants) stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.
You can contort your body in ways other people cannot.
Benefit: You receive a +3 to your escape bonds checks. You may also perform feats of contortions and can fit in smaller spaces than other people.
Your combat teamwork makes you a more dangerous opponent.
Prerequisite: BAB +3, Combat Reflexes
Benefit: If you and an ally of yours both have this feat and are flanking an opponent you both get a +4 flanking bonus (instead of the standard +2 flanking bonus).
Your unarmed attacks shatters objects, including your opponent's shield and weapons.
Prerequisite: Dex 15+, BAB +2, Improved Unarmed Strike, Sunder
Benefit: You can strike a opponent's weapon or shield with a unarmed strike.
You are capable of amazing feats of stamina.
Benefit: Whenever you make a check for performing a physical action that extends over a period of time (running, swimming, holding your breath, and so on), you get a +4 bonus to the check.
You have mastered your chosen weapon.
Prerequisites: Epic Level, Weapon Focus.
Benefit: You gain an additional +1 to all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon. This benefits stack with the bonus gained from the Weapon Focus feat.
You have the capacity to do extraordinary damage with your chosen weapon.
Prerequisites: Epic Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization.
Benefit: You gain a additional +2 to all damage rolls you make using the selected weapon. These benefits stack with the bonuses gained from Weapon Specialization feat. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, the target must be within 30 feet to apply the damage bonus.
Your skill with the weapon has reached legendary status.
Prerequisites: Epic Weapon Specilization, Overwhelming Critical, Expertise.Benefit: In your skilled hands (and your hands alone), the selected weapon deals damage as if it were one size larger. This higher damage-rating only applies when performing a full attack action. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, the target must be within 1 range category to apply the higher damage rating. This bonus stacks with all other mastery bonuses.
Your skill with the weapon is unmatched.
Prerequisites: Str 27, Epic Weapon High Mastery, Devastating Critical
Benefit: If you take a full attack action, you gain one extra attack at your highest attack bonus, in addition to all other attacks. Furthermore, you gain an additional +4 deflection bonus to your armour class when facing an opponent who wields the same weapon as you have weapon grand mastery in, regardless if you are currently wielding your mastered weapon.
Choose a type of exotic weapon, such as dire flail or shuriken. You understand how to use that type of exotic weapon in combat.
Prerequisite: BAB +1, Weapon Prof. in weapon category
Benefit: You make attack rolls with the weapon normally.
Normal: A character who uses a weapon without being proficient with it suffers a -4 penalty on attack rolls.
Special: You can gain this feet multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new weapon. Proficiency with the bastard sword or the dwarven waraxe has a prerequisite of Str 13+.
Note: You must have profiency in the category that the weapon belongs to before taking this feat. Thus, if it is a variation of a flail, then the character must be proficient in flails.
You are trained at using your combat skill for defense as well as offense.
Prerequisite: Int 13+
Benefit: When you use the attack action or full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as -5 on your attack and add the same number (up to +5) to your Armor Class. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action. The bonus to your Armor Class is a dodge bonus.
Normal: A character not capable of the Expertise feat can fight defensively while using the attack or full attack action to take a -4 penalty on attacks and gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class.
Note: You don’t have to attack, but you do have to choose the attack or full attack action. That is, you can declare an attack or full attack, claim the AC bonus, and then not make the attacks to which you are entitled. You cannot use Expertise with the total defense action (or any other action except attack or full attack). The use of this feat is not stackable with the bonus from fighting defensively.
You are trained in a advance parrying technique.
Prerequisite: BAB +4, Expertise, Light-Footed
Benefits: Once per round, you may attempt to parry a known attacker with your full attack bonus. This attempt counts as a AoO.
Your tactical skill works to your advantage.
Prerequisite: BAB +3, Dex 13+, Combat Reflexes
Benefit: When opponent is denied his Dexterity modifier to his AC (such as flat-footed), you are allowed an extra attack (or something that can be done as a partial action that is considered a attack: such as a spell, melee attack, such as disarm or grapple). The attack must be against the opponent who is denied his Dex modifier. You gain only one additional attack regardless of how many opponents lose their Dexterity modifiers.
You gain additional stunning attacks when fighting unarmed.
Prerequisite: BAB +2, Stunning Fist
Benefit: You gain the ability to make three extra stunning attacks per day. Can be taken multiple times and is stackable.
Your superior battle sense helps minimize the threat of flanking attacks.
Prerequisite: Wis 19+, BAB +3
Benefit: Your opponents don't get +2 to hit when flanking.
You can get greater distance out of a ranged weapon.
Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot
Benefit: When you use a projectile weapon, such as a bow, its range increments increases by one-half (multiply by 1.5). When you use a thrown weapon, its range increment is doubled.
You get in and out of armor with amazing grace and alacrity.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+.
Benefit: A character with this feat can don or remove any sort of armor in 5 rounds, and neither requires assistance nor gains any benefit if another character assists her. A character using the Fast Armor feat cannot "don hastily", she's already donning it plenty fast!
Prerequisite: Track feat gained as a virtual feat.
Benefit: The character no longer suffers a -5 penalty to Wilderness Lore checks for tracking when moving at normal speed.
Prerequisite: At least one favored enemy.
Benefit: Inflict an additional 1d6 damage each time you hit a selected favored enemy. Do not multiply this damage in critical hits. Stacks with Sneak Attack.
Special: You may gain this feat multiple times. Each time, you select another of your favored enemies that the feat may be used on.
You capitalize on your foe's perceptions of your unarmed status.
Prerequisite: BAB +2, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: When you make a unarmed attack, a successful Bluff check versus opponents Sense Motive check lures your foe into attempting a AoO because he thinks your unarmed. This allows you to make your unarmed attack against your drawn out foe, who is considered flat-footed, before they get to make a AoO. Your foe does not get to take his AoO. Using a tiny weapon incurs a -2 penalty on your Bluff check, a small weapon a -6 penalty on your Bluff check. Disguised weapons such as a war fan give no penalty.
Bluffing in this way against a non-humanoid is difficult because its harder to read a strange creature's body language, you suffer a -4 penalty. Against a creature of animal intelligence (1 or 2) it's even harder; you suffer a -8 penalty. Against a non-intelligent creature, it's impossible.
When opposing a Feign Weakness attempt, the target's base attack bonus (modified by Wisdom) replaces the Sense Motive skill roll if it is more favorable. For example, a 3rd-level fighter with a 14 wisdom would roll 1d20+5 in resisting a Feign Weakness (the base attack bonus of 3 plus the wisdom bonus of 2).
You have learned the secrets of imbuing your unarmed attacks with extra force.
Prerequisite: BAB +2, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: Declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a miss ruins the attempt). You deal a extra 1d4 damage when making a successful unarmed attack. You may use this feat a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Special: You may gain this feat multiple times. The number of times per day stacks.
You run so niumbly that you can turn corners without losing momentum.
Prereq: Run
Benefit: When running or charging, you can make a single direction change of 90 degrees or less. You can't use this feat while wearing medium or heavy armor, or if you're carrying a load heavier than light.
Normal: Without this feat, you can run or charge only in a straight line.
With a single motion, you can draw a light weapon and make a devastating attack.
Prereq: Dex 17+, Quick Draw
Benefit: If you draw a light weapon and make a melee attack with it in the same round, you catch your opponent flat-footed (for the purpose of this attack only). This feat works only once per combat.
Note: A possible combination with Expert Tactician might be the following:
You are sensitive to the web of magic that flows through all things. Though you are not neccessarily a sorcerer or wizard, you are capable of using this network of energy to perform amazing abilities.
Benefit: You gain the following benefits:
Normal: Without this feat, you cannot gain any ranks in Force skills or select any other Force-based feats. Also, your maximum allowed total of hero points is 5.
Special: Not everyone who takes this feat beleives in the webwork of magical energy. A character can gain the benefit of this feat and its associated skills without understanding that he or she is drawing on this energy. Such characters instead attribute their success to luck, a special knack, or some other reason when they take advantage of this feat.
You confuse your foes by leaping around in combat, seemingly never touching the ground or standing still.
Prerequisite: Halfling, Flurry of blows ability, BAB +4, Spring Attack, Tumble 5+, Jump 5+
Benefit: You can take 10 on Jump and Tumble checks, even in the heat of combat, allowing you to jump as part of your move without making a roll.
You can wield a melee weapon with such power that you strike multiple times as you fell your foes.
Prerequisite: Str 13+, Power Attack, Cleave, BAB +4.
Benefit: As Cleave, except that you have no limit to the number of times you can use it per round.
Note: You may not use this feat as part of a AoO.
You are tougher than normal.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus to all Fortitude saving throws.
You are skilled with using the haft of a polearm or spear to strike at foes too close to use the weapon properly.
Prerequisite: Weapon Prof.
Benefit: When using any rigid weapon with reach (spears or polearms, but not whips or spiked chains) you may attack adjacent enemies with the haft of the weapon instead of your normal attack. This does 1d6 damage, x2 crit on a 20. The shaft of a weapon cannot be enchanted, and the haft of an enchanted weapon has no special properties.
You are trained in a unarmed fighting style that emphasizes a two-handed strike.
Prerequisite: Dwarf, Flurry of blows ability, Str 13+
Benefit: You add one and a half your Str bonus to your damage when you hit with a unarmed strike. This extra damage does not apply if you make a flurry of blows attack or if you are holding anything in either hand. You must use both hands to make the unarmed attack.
You can wound an opponents' legs, hampering his or her movement.
Prerequisite: BAB +4, sneak attack ability
Benefit: If you hit with a sneak attack, you may choose to forgo +2d6 points of your sneak attack damage to reduce your opponent's land speed by half. Other forms of movement (fly, burrow, and so forth) aren't affected. The speed reduction ends when the target receives healing (whether a successful Heal check or any magical healing) or after 24 hours, whichever comes first. A hamstring attack does not slow creatures that are immune to sneak attack damage or those that have either no legs at all or more than four legs. It takes two successful hamstring attacks to affect a quadruped.
You are trained in defensive techniques against charging opponents.
Prereq: BAB +2, Combat Reflexes
Benefit: Grants a AoO vs. charging opponents before they get their charge attack. This does not grant additional AoO beyond the usual.
Prerequisite: Ambidexterity
Benefit: You may use your full strength modifier for damage with weapons in each hand.
Normal: You may use only one half your full strength modifier for damage with a weapon in your off-hand.
You know how to push opponents back.
Prerequisite: Str 13+, Power Attack
Benefit: When you perform a bull rush, you do not draw an attack of opportunity from the defender.
You know how to hit where it hurts with a specific chosen weapon.
Prerequisite: Weapon Focus, BAB +8 or higher.
Benefit: When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is doubled. For example, a longsword usually threatens a critical on a 19 or 20 (two numbers). If a character using a longsword has Improved Critical (longsword), the threat range becomes 17 through 20 (four numbers).
Note: "Keen" magic weapons also double their normal non-magical threat range. As with all doubled doublings, the result is triple. A magic longsword with a doubled threat range in the hands of a character with Improved Critical (longsword) would have a threat range of 15 through 20 (six numbers: 2 for being a longsword, +2 for being doubled once and +2 for being doubled a second time).
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new weapon.
You know how to effectively disarm opponents in melee.
Prerequisite: Int 13+, Expertise.
Benefit: You do not suffer an attack of opportunity when you attempt to disarm an opponent, nor does the opponent have a chance to disarm you.
Prerequisite: Haft Fighting, Two-Weapon Fighting.
Benefit: Weapons which may be used by the Haft Fighting feat (spears and polearms) may also be used as double weapons, where the primary weapon is the standard weapon head (same statistics as the original weapon) and the off-hand weapon is the haft (statistics listed in the Haft Fighting feat). When used this way, the weapon has its reach reduced by 5'. The normal penalties for two-weapon fighting apply.
You can react quickly.
Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.
You are especially good at using the Low Blow feat.
Prerequisite: Low Blow
Benefit: Using the Low Blow feat does not provoke an attack of oppurtunity when you move into an opponent's square to perform the attack.
You are agile and use greater mobility to help you control the battlefield.
Prerequisite: Mobility
Benefit: When taking this feat you can add 5 feet to your base speed in combat.
Special: This feat does not stack with the Dash feat. This feat can not be used when wearing armor heavier than light, nor when encumbered.
You are trained in knocking over opponents that are smaller than you.
Prerequisite: Improved Bull Rush, Improved Trip
Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent who is at least one size category smaller than you, the target cannot avoid you. If you knock down your opponent, you immediately get a AoO against your opponent with the normal +4 modifier for a prone target. This feat does not grant additional AoO beyond the usual.
Note: When forcing a opponent to move with a bull rush, the two of you do not provoke AoO from each other.
A definitely working tactic with a reach weapon, Monkey Grip feat, and a shield, would be to wait for your attacker to close to an ajunct square then attack him. The bull rush would drive him 5 feet back, you can then take your 5 feet move straight back and he would provoke an AoO if he wanted to close with you again. Great defensive style (though tumbling opponents could defeat it).
You are adept at knowing how to attack your enemies weapons.
Prerequisite: BAB +2, Sunder
Benefit: When you strike a opponent's weapon, you inflict double damage.
You are trained in following up with attack when you trip an opponent in melee.
Prerequisite: Int 13+, Expertise
Benefit: If you trip an opponent in melee combat, you immediately get a AoO against that opponent with the same attack bonus as the attack that tripped him. For example, at 11th level, Tordeck gets three attacks at base attack bonuses of +11, +6, and +1. In the current round, he attempts to trip his opponent. His first attempt fails (using up his first attack). His second attempt succeeds, and he immediately makes a AoO against his opponent with a base attack of +6. Finally, he takes his last attack at +1.
You are an expert in fighting with two weapons.
Prerequisite: Two-Weapon fighting, Ambidexterity, BAB +9
Benefit: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with the off-hand weapon at your best attack bonus, albeit at a -5 penalty (this does not count the penalty for using two weapons).
Normal: Without this feat, you can only get a single extra attack with an off-hand weapon.
You are very skilled at fighting unarmed.
Benefit: You are considered to be armed even when unarmed; that is, armed opponents do not get AoO when you attack them while unarmed. However, you still get an AoO against any opponent who makes an unarmed attack on you.
Special: A monk fighting unarmed automatically gains the benefit of this feat.
The character can get to his feet as a free action
Requirements: Balance 4+, Tumble 4+
Benefit: If the character makes a successful tumble check against DC 20 he may get to his feet from a prone position as a free action.
You have hardened your skin to resist attacks.
Requirements: Purity of body ability, Con 15+, BAB +4
Benefit: You have a natural armour bonus of +1. This is cumulative with any natural armour you may already have. This feat can only be taken once.
You have a stronger will than most.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus to all Will saving throws.
You've picked up a smattering of even the most obscure skills.
Prerequisite: Character Level 8+
Benefit: You can use any skill untrained, even those that normally require training and those that are exclusive to classes you don't have. You must, however, still follow the rules for gaining ranks in a skill as per your class.
Your mighty blows can knock opponents off their feat.
Prerequisite: Str 15+, BAB +2, Improved Trip
Benefit: Whenever you deal 10 or more points of damage with a single blow, you may follow up by making a trip attack attempt as a free action against the same target. You may not take a free attack of oppurtunity if you successfully trip the opponent.
You are a capable and charismatic leader of people.
Benefit: You gain the ability to have a cohort.
Note: If you want multiple cohorts, you take this feat multiple times.
Your skill and agility allow you to attempt a series of blindingly fast blows.
Prerequisite: Dex 15+, BAB +3, Flurry of blow ability
Benefit: You can make two extra attacks in a round as a full attack option. All attacks made this round suffer a -5 attack penalty.
Note: This feat is not stackable with flurry of blows.
You have faster than normal reflexes.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus to all Reflex saving throws.
A person with this feat is especially light on her feet, especially in a fight. For those fighters who can "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee," this is the butterfly part.
Prerequisite: Dex 15+, Mobility
Benefit: Any time you are allowed to take a 5 ft. step, such as when you take the full-attack option, you can take an additional 5 ft. step. You do not provoke an opportunity of attack when you do this.
Normal: A character is usually only allowed a single 5 ft. step.
Prerequisite: Alertness
Benefit: This character will awaken at a disturbance, a significant advantage to a small party on the trail where companions would quickly fatigue from alternating watch duty through the night. This provides an automatic listen check when asleep, where others may not get one.
You can get underfoot and attack creatures larger than you.
Prerequisite: Dodge, Mobility, BAB +4
Benefit: As a full round action, you can enter an area occupied by an opponent who is at least one size category larger than you. You can then make a single melee attack at your highest attack modifier against this creature, who is considered flat-footed against the attack. After your attack, you return to the 5 foot square from which you entered the opponent's square. Using this feat provokes attacks of oppurtunity normally.
You deliver a powerful attack after making a jump.
Prerequisite: Leap of the Clouds ability, Jump 5+
Benefit: Choose a opponent who is within the maximum distance you can reach with a successful Jump check. Make a normal Jump check; if you are successful, you can make a normal charge attack as part of the same action. If it is successful, you inflict normal damage plus your Str modifier multiplied by 2.

You can draw weapons with startling speed
Prerequisite: BAB +1, Weapon Prof.
Benefit: You can draw a weapon as a free action instead of as a move-equivalent action.

Your hands can move so quickly that observers don't see what you've done.
Prerequisite: Dex 19+, Lightning Reflexes
Benefit: While under direct observation, you can make a Bluff check as a move-equivalent action, opposed by the Spot checks of any observers. If you succeed, your misdirection makes them look elsewhere while you take a partial action. If your partial action is an attack against someone who failed the opposed check, that opponent is denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (unless he has Uncanny Dodge).
Note: Quicker than the Eye does not give you an extra partial action. A successful bluff with this feat just means that certain foes may or may not see what you do the rest of the round. When used in conjunction with Expert Tactician, these are the order of actions.

A favorite with snipers, steady hand allows the character to better aim a missile weapon.
Requirements: BAB +6, Far Shot
Benefit: Aiming a missile weapon takes one full round. For every attack the character can normally make a round, he may eliminate a range increment penalty to his next shot. This does not give the character a bonus, it simply eliminates range penalties. So a 20th level fighter with an attack bonus +20/+15/+10/+5, could aim a bow to get no penalty for the first five range increments (the automatic first one and the next four). If he was trying to fire a bow at a target 6 range increments away, he would have one range increment that wasn't eliminated, giving him a -2 range increment penalty total. If the character uses a crossbow, it must be loaded before he can aim. When using this feat, the character gets a single shot in the round with the penalty reduction indicated.
You know how to strike your opponents with stunning blows when fighting unarmed.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Improved Unarmed Strike, Wis 13+, BAB +8

If the defender fails his saving throw, he is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next action). A stunned character can’t act and loses any Dexterity bonus to Armor Class. Attackers get a +2 bonus on attack rolls against a stunned opponent. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained, and no more than once per round.

Note: The bonus hit points from this feat is set each time the feat is gained. Thus, if a character was to gain it when his Fort save was +3, he would gain a total of 4 hit points from this purchase of the feat (no matter what his Fort save might be later). If he was to gain the feat again at a later time, he would gain hit points for that purchase of the feat based on his Fort save then.
Special: A character may gain this feat multiple times.
You can find and follow the trails of other creatures across most types of terrain.
Benefit: To find tracks or to follow them for one mile requires a Wilderness Lore check.
