Feats

Prerequisites

Some feats have prerequisites. A character must have the indicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus, or other quality designated in order to select or use that feat. A character can gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite.

A character can’t use a feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite.

Types of Feats

Some feats are general, meaning that no special rules govern them as a group. Others are item creation feats, which allow spellcasters to create magic items of all sorts. A metamagic feat lets a spellcaster prepare and cast a spell with greater effect, albeit as if the spell were a higher spell level than it actually is.

Divine Feats

These feats all require the ability to turn or rebuke undead. The ability to turn other creatures does not qualify a character to select a divine feat.

Each use of a divine feat costs the character one turn/rebuke attempt; if he doesn't have any turn/rebuke attempts left, he can't use the feat. Since turning or rebuking is a standard action, activating any of these feats is also a standard action unless otherwise noted.

Fighter Bonus Feats

Any feat designated as a fighter feat can be selected as a fighter’s bonus feat. This designation does not restrict characters of other classes from selecting these feats, assuming that they meet any prerequisites.

Metamagic Feats

As a spellcaster’s knowledge of magic grows, she can learn to cast spells in ways slightly different from the ways in which the spells were originally designed or learned. Preparing and casting a spell in such a way is harder than normal but, thanks to metamagic feats, at least it is possible. Spells modified by a metamagic feat use a spell slot higher than normal. This does not change the level of the spell, so the DC for saving throws against it does not go up.

Wizards and Divine Spellcasters: Wizards and divine spellcasters must prepare their spells in advance. During preparation, the character chooses which spells to prepare with metamagic feats (and thus which ones take up higher-level spell slots than normal).

Sorcerers and Bards: Sorcerers and bards choose spells as they cast them. They can choose when they cast their spells whether to apply their metamagic feats to improve them. As with other spellcasters, the improved spell uses up a higher-level spell slot. But because the sorcerer or bard has not prepared the spell in a metamagic form in advance, he must apply the metamagic feat on the spot. Therefore, such a character must also take more time to cast a metamagic spell (one enhanced by a metamagic feat) than he does to cast a regular spell. If the spell’s normal casting time is 1 standard action, casting a metamagic version is a full-round action for a sorcerer or bard. (This isn’t the same as a 1-round casting time.)

Spontaneous Casting and Metamagic Feats: A cleric spontaneously casting a domain spell can cast a metamagic version of it instead. As with other spellcasters, the improved spell uses up a higher-level spell slot. Extra time is also required in this case. Casting a 1-action metamagic spell spontaneously is a full-round action, and a spell with a longer casting time takes an extra full-round action to cast.

Effects of Metamagic Feats on a Spell: In all ways, a metamagic spell operates at its original spell level, even though it is prepared and cast as a higher-level spell. Saving throw modifications are not changed unless stated otherwise in the feat description.

The modifications made by these feats only apply to spells cast directly by the feat user. A spellcaster can’t use a metamagic feat to alter a spell being cast from a wand, scroll, or other device.

Metamagic feats that eliminate components of a spell don’t eliminate the attack of opportunity provoked by casting a spell while threatened. However, casting a spell modified by Quicken Spell does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Metamagic feats cannot be used with all spells. See the specific feat descriptions for the spells that a particular feat can’t modify.

Multiple Metamagic Feats on a Spell: A spellcaster can apply multiple metamagic feats (even the same feat multiple times) to a single spell. Changes to its level are cumulative.

Magic Items and Metamagic Spells: With the right item creation feat, the character can store a metamagic version of a spell in a scroll, potion, or wand. Level limits for potions and wands apply to the spell’s higher spell level (after the application of the metamagic feat). A character doesn’t need the metamagic feat to activate an item storing a metamagic version of a spell.

Countering Metamagic Spells: Whether or not a spell has been enhanced by a metamagic feat does not affect its vulnerability to being counterspelled or its ability to counter another spell.

Rage Feats
These feats require the character to have the rage ability.

Each use of a rage feat costs the character one use of his rage ability; if he doesn't have any uses of rage left, he can't use the feat. Since entering a rage is a free action, activating any of these feats is also a free action unless otherwise noted.

Wild Feats

These feats require the character to have the ability to use wild shape.

Note: Since I can't indent text in a table with wikicode, I had to resort to the use of the funky squares (). They just take the place of actual spaces, so ignore them. And no, I don't know why the dashes (—) aren't showing up in the empty cells - apparently it's some odd wikicode thing.

Also, there are nearly 200 feats here, so there are bound to be a few mistakes I didn't catch, even after going over the table five times. In case of conflicts, the text always overrides the table.
