Epic Feats

In Alphabetical Order

ACQUIRING EPIC FEATS

Characters gain epic feats in the following ways:

At 21st level, and every three levels thereafter, the character may select an epic feat in place of a nonepic feat.

Each character class gains bonus epic feats according to the class description. These feats must be selected from the list of bonus epic feats for that class.

PREREQUISITES

Most epic feats have prerequisites. A character must have the listed ability score, feat, skill, class feature, or base attack modifier in order to select or use that feat. A character can gain an epic feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite, just as with regular feats. A prerequisite expressed as a numerical value is a minimum; any value higher than the one given also meets the prerequisite. A character can’t use an epic feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite.

TYPES OF EPIC FEATS

Most epic feats are general, meaning that no special rules govern them as a group. Others may be item creation feats or metamagic feats, which follow all the normal rules for such feats, except as specified in the feat’s description. In addition, some feats are defined as divine feats or as wild feats. Such feats are described below.

DIVINE FEATS

The feats in this category share a few characteristics. First, they all have as a prerequisite the ability to turn (or, in most cases, rebuke) undead. Thus, they are open to clerics, paladins of 4th level or higher, and any prestige class that has that ability. (An ability to turn other creatures does not qualify a character to select one of these feats.) Second, the force that powers a divine feat is the ability to channel positive or negative energy to turn or rebuke undead. Each use of a divine feat costs the character one turn/rebuke attempt from his or her number of attempts each day. If a character doesn’t have any turn/rebuke attempts left, he or she can’t use the feat. Since turning or rebuking is a standard action, activating any of these feats is also a standard action.

WILD FEATS

The feats in this category share the characteristic of relating to the ability to use wild shape as a druid. These feats require the character to have the ability to use wild shape before acquiring the feat.

EPIC PSIONIC FEATS

Psionic characters can acquire epic “psionically flavored” feats.  Some feats require so much translation that converted feats are provided. Whenever a feat concerns conferring or altering a spell in some fashion, some translation must be done to use it with psionics. Sometimes this translation is as straightforward as changing a few names. Translating epic metamagic feats to epic metapsionic feats requires that Spellcraft prerequisites be replaced with Psicraft. It also requires a little math-instead of casting a spell at a higher level, a psionic character pays more power points. For every spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level the metamagic feat requires, the metapsionic feat requires a character to pay a power point cost equal to its standard cost +2. Likewise, when a feat allows a spellcaster to “pay” one less level to use a metamagic feat, the psionic version allows a character to pay 2 power points less for a given metapsionic feat.

If the item or substance doesn’t deal damage and doesn’t have a specific listed duration (or has an instantaneous duration), double all dimensions of its area.

A character without any spell slots of a level can’t receive any bonus spells of that level, even if the appropriate ability score is high enough to award them.

While singing, the bard can fight but cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by command word (such as wands). Each ally to be inspired gains a +4 competence bonus to the same ability score, which the character must choose before he or she begins inspiring. Inspire excellence is a supernatural, mind-affecting ability. Use of this feat counts as one of the character’s bardic music uses for the day.

Special: This feat is treated as a bardic music inspiration ability for purposes of feats that affect such abilities.

INSTANT RELOAD [EPIC]

Benefit: The character may fire the selected type of crossbow at his or her full normal attack rate. Reloading the crossbow does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time a character takes the feat, it applies to a different type of crossbow.

INTENSIFY SPELL [METAMAGIC][EPIC]

Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of an intensified spell are maximized, then doubled. An intensified spell deals twice maximum damage, cures twice the maximum number of hit points, affects twice the maximum number of targets, and so forth, as appropriate. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected. An intensified spell uses up a spell slot seven levels higher than the spell’s actual level. A character can’t combine the effects of this feat with any other feat that affects the variable, numeric effects of a spell.

KEEN STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s unarmed strike has a critical threat range of 18-20 and deals slashing damage (at the character’s option any attack can deal bludgeoning damage, but cannot then take advantage of the enhanced threat range). This ability doesn’t stack with other abilities that expand that character’s unarmed strike’s threat range.

LASTING INSPIRATION [EPIC]

Benefit: The effects of the character’s bardic music inspiration abilities last for ten times as long as normal after he or she stops singing. This feat has no effect on inspiration abilities that have no duration after the character stops singing.

LEGENDARY CLIMBER [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can ignore any check penalties applied for accelerated climbing or rapid climbing.

Normal: Without this feat, a character takes a -5 penalty on Climb checks when attempting to cover his or her full speed in climbing distance in a round, or a -20 penalty when attempting to cover twice his or her speed in climbing distance in a round.

LEGENDARY COMMANDER [EPIC]

Benefit: Multiply the number of followers of each level that the character can lead by 10. This has no effect on cohorts.

LEGENDARY LEAPER [EPIC]

Benefit: The character need only move 5 feet in a straight line to make a running jump.

Normal: Without this feat, a character must move at least 20 feet in a straight line before attempting a running jump.

LEGENDARY RIDER [EPIC]

Benefit: The character doesn’t take a penalty on Ride checks when riding a mount without a saddle (bareback).  The character never needs to make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and even controlling a mount not trained for combat doesn’t require an action).

Normal: Without this feat, a character takes a -5 penalty on Ride checks without a saddle, and must make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and controlling a mount not trained for combat requires a move action).

LEGENDARY TRACKER [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can track creatures across water, under-water, or through the air. This adds the surfaces of water, underwater, and air to the list of surfaces found under the Track feat:

LEGENDARY WRESTLER [EPIC]

Benefit: The character gains a +10 bonus on all grapple checks.

LINGERING DAMAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: Any time the character deals damage with a sneak attack, that target takes damage equal to the character’s sneak attack bonus damage on the character’s next turn as well.

MAGICAL BEAST COMPANION [WILD][EPIC]

Benefit: The following magical beasts are added to the lists of animal companions from which you can select.

Special: Creatures marked with an asterisk are available only in an aquatic environment.

MAGICAL BEAST WILD SHAPE [WILD][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use his or her normal wild shape ability to take the form of a magical beast. The size limitation is the same as the character’s limitation on animal size. The character gains all supernatural abilities of the magical beast whose form he or she takes.

MASTER STAFF [EPIC]

Benefit: When the character activates a staff, he or she can substitute a spell slot instead of using a charge. The spell slot must be one the character has not used for the day, though the character may lose a prepared spell to emulate a wand charge (the character may not lose prepared spells from his or her school of specialty, if any). The spell slot lost must be equal to or higher in level than the specific spell stored in the staff, including any level-increasing metamagic enhancements. A character cannot emulate a charge for a staff function that does not match a specific spell.

MASTER WAND [EPIC]

Benefit: When the character activates a wand, he or she can substitute a spell slot instead of using a charge. The spell slot must be one the character has not used for the day, though he or she may lose a prepared spell to emulate a wand charge (the character may not lose prepared spells from his or her school of specialty, if any). The spell slot lost must be equal to or higher in level than the spell stored in the wand, including any level-increasing metamagic enhancements.

MIGHTY RAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: When the character rages, he or she gains a +8 bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +4 morale bonus on Will saves. (These bonuses replace the normal rage bonuses.)

MOBILE DEFENSE [EPIC]

Benefit: While in a defensive stance, the character may take one 5-foot adjustment each round without losing the benefits of the stance.

Normal: Without this feat, a character can’t move while in a defensive stance.

MULTISPELL [EPIC]

Benefit: The character may cast one additional quickened spell in a round.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

MULTIWEAPON REND [EPIC]

Benefit: If the character hits an opponent with two or more weapons (wielded in different hands) in the same round, he or she may automatically rend the opponent. This rending deals additional damage equal to the base damage of the smallest weapon that hit plus 1 1/2 times the character’s Strength modifier. The character can only rend once per round, regardless of how many successful attacks he or she makes.

Special: This feat replaces the Two-Weapon Rend feat for creatures with more than two arms.

MUSIC OF THE GODS [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s bardic music can affect even those normally immune to mind-affecting effects. However, such creatures gain a +10 bonus on their Will saves to resist such effects.

NEGATIVE ENERGY BURST [DIVINE][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use one rebuke or command undead attempt to unleash a wave of negative energy in a 60-foot-burst. Roll a normal rebuke (or command) check, except that the negative energy burst affects living creatures rather than undead. Any creature that would be rebuked by this result gains one negative level. Any creature that would be commanded by this check gains two negative levels. The Fortitude save DC to remove these levels one day later is equal to 10 + 1/2 the character’s effective turning level + the character’s Charisma modifier.

OVERWHELMING CRITICAL [EPIC]

Benefit: When using the weapon the character has selected, he or she deals an extra 1d6 points of bonus damage on a successful critical hit. If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x3, add +2d6 points of bonus damage instead, and if the multiplier is x4, add +3d6 points of bonus damage instead. Creatures immune to critical hits can’t be affected by this feat.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time a character takes the feat, it applies to a different type of weapon.

PENETRATE DAMAGE REDUCTION [EPIC]

Benefit: The character melee weapons (including natural weapons) are treated as being crafted from the chosen special material for the purposes of bypassing the damage reduction of any creature the character strikes. None of the other special properties of special materials are gained by the character’s melee weapons.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times.  Each time the feat is selected the character selects a different special material.  The character’s melee attacks are treated as being crafted of all chosen materials for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction.

PERFECT HEALTH [EPIC]

Benefit: The character is immune to all nonmagical diseases, as well as to all poisons whose Fortitude save DC is 25 or less.

PERFECT MULTIWEAPON FIGHTING [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can make as many attacks with each extra weapon as with his or her primary weapon, using the same base attack bonus. The character still takes the normal penalties for fighting with two weapons.

Normal: A creature without this feat can make only one attack per round with each extra weapon (or two attacks per round with each weapon if it has Multiweapon Fighting, or three attacks per round with each extra weapon if it has Greater Multiweapon Fighting). Each attack after the first extra attack has a cumulative -5 penalty.

Special: This feat replaces the Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.

PERFECT TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can make as many attacks with his or her off-hand weapon as with his or her primary weapon, using the same base attack bonus. The character still takes the normal penalties for fighting with two weapons.

Normal: Without this feat, a character can only get a single attack with an off-hand weapon (or two attacks with an off-hand weapon if he or she has Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, or three attacks with an off-hand weapon if he or she has Greater Two-Weapon Fighting).

PERMANENT EMANATION [EPIC]

Benefit: Designate any one of the character’s spells whose area is an emanation from the character. This spell’s effect is permanent (though the character can dismiss or restart it as a free action). Effects that would normally dispel this spell instead suppress it for 2d4 rounds.

Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Each time, select a different spell to become permanent.

PLANAR TURNING [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can turn or rebuke outsiders as if they were undead. An outsider has effective turn resistance equal to half its spell resistance (round down). If the character can turn undead, he or she turns (or destroys) all evil outsiders and rebukes (or commands) all nonevil outsiders. If the character can rebuke undead, he or she rebukes (or commands) all evil outsiders and turns (or destroys) all nonevil outsiders.

PLANT WILD SHAPE [WILD][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use his or her normal wild shape ability to take the form of a plant. The size limitation is the same as the character’s limitation on animal size.

POLYGLOT [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can speak all languages. If the character is literate, he or she can also read and write all languages (not including magical script).

POSITIVE ENERGY AURA [EPIC]

Benefit: Every undead creature that comes within 15 feet of the character is automatically affected as if the character had turned it. This doesn’t cost a turning attempt, and the character doesn’t have to roll turning damage (it automatically affects all undead in a 15-foot burst), but it only turns undead with Hit Dice equal to or less than the character’s effective cleric level minus 10 (and automatically destroys undead with Hit Dice equal to or less than the character’s effective cleric level minus 20). Just as with normal turning, the character can’t affect undead that have total cover relative to him or her.

POWER KNOWLEDGE [EPIC, PSIONIC]

Prerequisites: Character level 21st, ability to manifest powers of the normal maximum power level in at least one psionic class.

Benefit: You learn two new powers of any level up to the highest level of power you can manifest. The powers you select must be on your class list or the list for your discipline.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time, you learn two new powers at any level up to the highest level of power you can manifest.

PSICRYSTAL POWER [EPIC, PSIONIC]

Prerequisites: Character level 21st, Intelligence 25 or Charisma 25 (depending on which is your key ability score for manifesting).

Benefit: Choose one power you know of 8th level or lower. Your psicrystal can now manifest this power once per day at your manifester level (the psicrystal gains sufficient power points to manifest the power once). You cannot bestow a power upon your psicrystal if the power normally has any experience point cost.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, you can give your psicrystal knowledge of a new power (and it gains sufficient power points to manifest that power once).
All power points gained by a psicrystal from multiple applications of this feat go into its reserve and can be used to manifest the powers it knows as you desire.

RANGED INSPIRATION [EPIC]

Benefit: Double the range of any bardic music ability that has a range. (If the creature must hear the bard to be affected by the ability, that requirement doesn’t change regardless of any extended range the bard’s ability may have.)

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack. Remember that two doublings equals a tripling, and so forth.

RAPID INSPIRATION [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use any of his or her bardic music inspiration abilities as a standard action. The inspiration takes effect immediately after the character concludes the action.

REACTIVE COUNTERSONG [EPIC]

Benefit: The character can begin a countersong at any time, even when it isn’t his or her turn (much like a wizard who has readied a counterspell action), though the character doesn’t have to ready an action to do so. The character can’t use Reactive Countersong at the same time he or she isusing another bardic music ability (though the character could stop the other bardic music ability to begin Reactive Countersong if so desired).

Normal: Without this feat, a character can only use counter-song on his or her turn.

REFLECT ARROWS [EPIC]

Benefit: When the character deflects an arrow or other ranged attack, the attack is reflected back upon the attacker at the character’s base ranged attack bonus.

RIGHTEOUS STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s unarmed strike is treated as an axiomatic weapon (it is lawfully aligned and deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against creatures of chaotic alignment). This ability doesn’t stack with similar abilities.

RUINOUS RAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: While in a rage, the character ignores the hardness of any object he or she strikes. Also, double the character’s Strength bonus for the purposes of any Strength check made to break an object with sudden force rather than by dealing normal damage (including bursting bindings, such as ropes or manacles).

SCRIBE EPIC SCROLL [ITEM CREATION][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can scribe scrolls that exceed the normal limits for such items. Even this feat does not allow the character to scribe a scroll with an epic spell.

SELF-CONCEALMENT [EPIC]

Benefit: Attacks against the character have a 10% miss chance, similar to the effect of concealment. The character loses this benefit whenever he or she would lose his or her Dexterity bonus to AC.

Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, the miss chance increases by 10% to a maximum of 50% after it has been taken five times.

SHATTERING STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: When using an unarmed strike to attempt to break an object with sudden force (rather than by dealing normal damage), make a Concentration check rather than a Strength check. The break DC remains the same. Using Shattering Strike is a full-round action that incurs attacks of opportunity. The character can’t use Shattering Strike to escape bonds (unless he or she is so bound as to allow the character to make an unarmed strike against his or her bindings).

SNEAK ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY [EPIC]

Benefit: Any attack of opportunity the character makes is considered a sneak attack.

SPECTRAL STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s attacks deal damage normally against incorporeal creatures.

Normal: Without this feat, even attacks that can damage an incorporeal creature have a 50% chance to deal no damage.

SPELL KNOWLEDGE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character learns two new arcane spells of any level up to the maximum level he or she can cast. This feat does not grant any additional spell slots.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times.

SPELL OPPORTUNITY [EPIC]

Benefit: Whenever the character is allowed an attack of opportunity, he or she may cast (and attack with) a touch spell as the character’s attack of opportunity. This incurs attacks of opportunity just as if the character had cast the spell normally.

Normal: Without this feat, a character can only make a melee attack as an attack of opportunity.

SPELL STOWAWAY [EPIC]

Benefit: Choose a spell-like ability the character knows, or a spell the character cam cast.  The character is attuned to the magic he or she chooses. If another spellcaster within 300 feet of the character uses this magic, the character also immediately gains the magic’s effect as if it had been used on the character by the same caster. The character must have direct line of effect to the spellcaster in order to gain the benefit of the attuned magic (though the character does not have to know the spellcaster is present, and he or she can be flat-footed). The magic’s duration, effect, and other specifics are determined by its original caster’s level.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time a character takes the feat, it applies to a different spell or spell-like ability.

SPELLCASTING HARRIER [EPIC]

Benefit: Any spellcaster the character threatens in melee provokes an attack of opportunity if he or she tries to cast defensively.  The character gets a +4 bonus on this attack roll.

SPONTANEOUS DOMAIN ACCESS [EPIC]

Benefit: Select a domain the character has access to. The character may spontaneously convert any prepared cleric spell (except a domain spell) into a domain spell of the same level in the selected domain, just as a cleric channels energy to convert spells into cure spells.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time a character takes the feat, it applies to a different domain.

SPONTANEOUS SPELL [EPIC]

Benefit: Select a spell the character can cast. The character may spontaneously convert any prepared spell of the selected spell’s level into the selected spell, just as a cleric channels energy to convert spells into cure spells.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time he or she takes the feat, it applies to a different spell.

STORM OF THROWS [EPIC]

Benefit: As a full-round action, the character may throw a light weapon at his or her full base attack bonus at each opponent within 30 feet. All light weapons thrown need not be the same type.

SUPERIOR INITIATIVE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character gets a +8 bonus on initiative checks. This bonus overlaps (does not stack with) the bonus from Improved Initiative.

SWARM OF ARROWS [EPIC]

Benefit: As a full-round action, the character may fire an arrow at his or her full base attack bonus at each opponent within 30 feet.

TERRIFYING RAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: While you are raging, any enemy that views you must make a Will save opposed by your Intimidate check of become panicked (if it have HD less than your character level) or shaken (if it has HD equal to or up to twice your character level) for 4d6 rounds.  An enemy with Hit Dice greater than twice your character level is not affected by this feat.

TENACIOUS MAGIC [EPIC]

Benefit: Choose one spell the character knows or spell-like ability the character possesses. Whenever the chosen form of magic would otherwise end due to a dispel effect, the magic is instead only suppressed for 1d4 rounds. The magic still ends when its duration expires, but the suppressed rounds do not count against its duration. The character can dismiss his or her own spell or spell-like ability (if dismissible) or dispel his or her own tenacious magic normally.

Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time he or she takes the feat, it applies to a different spell or spell-like ability.

THUNDERING RAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: Any weapon the character wields while in a rage is treated as a thundering weapon. The DC of the Fortitude save to resist deafness is equal to 10 + 1/2 the character’s level. This ability does not stack with similar abilities.

TRAP SENSE [EPIC]

Benefit: If the character passes within 5 feet of a trap, he or she is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if the character was actively looking for it.

TWO-WEAPON REND [EPIC]

Benefit: If the character hits an opponent with a weapon in each hand in the same round, he or she may automatically rend the opponent. This deals additional damage equal to the base damage of the smaller weapon plus 1 1/2 times the character’s Strength modifier. Base weapon damage includes an enhancement bonus on damage, if any. The character can only rend once per round, regardless of how many successful attacks he or she makes.

UNCANNY ACCURACY [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s ranged attacks ignore the miss chance granted to targets by total concealment.  The character must aim his or her attacks at the correct square to gain advantage of this feat.

Normal: Without this feat, characters suffer a 50% miss chance when making a ranged attack against a target with total concealment.

Special: A character with at least 11 levels of ranger can qualify for this feat even if he or she does not have the prerequisites for it, but can only use it when wearing light or no armor.

UNDEAD MASTERY [DIVINE][EPIC]

Benefit: The character may command up to ten times his or her level in HD of undead.

UNHOLY STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: Any weapon the character wields is treated as an unholy weapon (it is evil-aligned and deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against creatures of good alignment). This ability doesn’t stack with similar abilities. If the weapon already has an alignment, this feat has no effect on the weapon.

VERMIN WILD SHAPE [WILD][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use his or her normal wild shape ability to take the form of a vermin. The size limitation is the same as the character’s limitation on animal size.

VORPAL STRIKE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s unarmed strike is considered to be a slashing vorpal weapon. (At the character’s option, any unarmed strike can do bludgeoning damage instead, but it loses the vorpal quality.) This ability doesn’t stack with similar abilities

WIDEN AURA OF COURAGE [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s aura of courage extends to all allies within 100 feet of the character.

WIDEN AURA OF DESPAIR [EPIC]

Benefit: The character’s aura of despair extends to all allies within 100 feet of the character.

ZONE OF ANIMATION [DIVINE][EPIC]

Benefit: The character can use a rebuke or command undead attempt to animate corpses within range of his or her rebuke or command attempt. The character animates a total number of HD of undead equal to the number of undead that would be commanded by the character’s result (though the character can’t animate more undead than there are available corpses within range). The character can’t animate more undead with any single attempt than the maximum number he or she can command (including any undead already under his or her command). These undead are automatically under the character’s command, though his or her normal limit of commanded undead still applies. If the corpses are relatively fresh, the animated undead are zombies. Otherwise, they are skeletons.

GREATER MULTIWEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]

Benefit: The creature may make up to three extra attacks with each extra offhand weapon it wields, albeit at a -10 penalty on the third attack with each weapon.

Special: This feat replaces the Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.

IMPROVED FLYBY ATTACK [GENERAL]

Benefit: If the standard action taken by a creature during a round in which it uses Flyby Attack is a melee attack, the creature provokes no attacks of opportunity from moving out of squares threatened by its target.

Normal: Without this feat, a creature making an attack as part of a Flyby Attack maneuver provokes attacks of opportunity as normal from moving out of squares threatened by its target.

IMPROVED MULTIATTACK [GENERAL]

Benefit: The creature’s secondary attacks with natural weapons have no penalty. They still add only one-half the creature’s Strength bonus, if any, to damage dealt.

Normal: Without this feat, the creature’s secondary natural attacks have a -5 penalty (or a -2 penalty if it has the Multiattack feat).

IMPROVED MULTIWEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]

Benefit: In addition to the single extra attack a creature gets with each extra weapon from Multiweapon Fighting, it gets a second attack with each extra weapon, albeit at a -5 penalty.

Normal: With only Multiweapon Fighting, a creater can only get a single attack with each extra weapon.

Special: This feat replaces the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.
