Acupuncture (Int)
The character is familiar with certain points of the body that can be considered pleasure and/or pain centers, and through the use of specially prepared needles or other tools can use these to harm or heal living people. The subject being treated with acupuncture must be willing or restrained. The skill cannot be used untrained and the acupuncturist must use his tools when trying the skill.
Check: By working for 1d8+2 minutes, the character with this skill may heal or inflict 1 damage point per skill rank on him- or herself or other characters on a successful skill check (DC10). The skill can be used once per day on any given living humanoid..
Special: Characters with 5 or more ranks in this skill can also use accupunture to increase the rate at which attribute points lost to temporary drain are recovered. Successful use of the skill allows the subject to regain 1 extra point per day. Characters with 10 or more ranks can use acupuncture to paralyze the target with a successful skill check (DC 24) and an attack action. This can even be done with unwilling targets, if the acupuncturists makes a successful melee or ranged attack. (By Steve "The One To Blame" Miller)

Weather Sense (Wis)
The character with this skill has a preternatural ability to predict the weather.
Time to use: 2 rounds.
Limitations: This skill can be used untrained with a -4 penalty to the check.
Check: A successful Weather Sense check allows a character to accurately predict the weather for an upcoming period of time that is determined by the level of success of the check. (The character knows whether storms are coming, whether the rain will clear up, whether the unusual cold snap will continue, and so on.) It is suggested that the GM actually make this skill check, as a character does not necessarily know if he or she is accurately predicting the weather or not. In the case of failed checks, the character thinks the weather is going to remain as it is on the day of the failed check for an additional 2 days.)

Result	Duration of Accurate Prediction
0-9	Failure
10-14	2 days (including the day on which the check is made)
15-19	4 days (including the day on which the check is made)
20-24	6 days (including the day on which the check is made)
25-29	8 days (including the day on which the check is made)
30+	10 days (including the day on which the check is made)

Retry: A character can only make one Weather Sense skill check per day. However, if a character fails a skill check that is covered during the period already included in a successful skill check. the failure has no effect. Successful retries during a period extend the duration of the prediction. (Example: On the first day of a journey, Tita makes a Weather Sense check of 19, accurately being able to predict the weather for the next four days. One the second day of the journey, she only gets a 5 on her check, but the result is ignored because she has already sensed the weather for the next four days. On the third day, she makes another check, this time rolling a 12. Since she is still within the original four day period, with one day to go, this result ends up extending the period by one day.)
Special: Characters with 5 or more ranks in Survival receive a +2 synergy bonus on Weather Sense checks. (By Steve Miller)

Animal Form [Cleric]
The character can assume a form of any one natural animal that he or she chooses.
Prereq: Cleric of the Howler Level 4 or higher
Benefit: The character has the ability to assume the form of a single animal of your choice, but you may only choose one form. The form must be a natural animal, not magical beasts, abominations, or other creatures. In this form the character retains full sentience and may use the animal�s base abilities as well. If the animal�s form permits it, the character may be able to use abilities such as feats and spell casting. This animal form lasts ten minutes per character level. The change may be performed a number of times per day equal to the character's Charisma Modifer, to a mininum of once per day. Unlike a druid's shapechange ability, the character's equipment and clothes do not merge with the animal form. (By Caedrus Covakel)

Apprentice [General]
The character was taught a skill from an early age by a trained professional and this has given you an edge in a particular skill.
Benefit: +2 bonus on any one skill chosen by the player. If it is a cross-classed skill for your class at first level, it becomes a class skill. For example, Dave makes a first level Fighter and wants his background to be he grew up in a church, so he takes the apprentice feat. Dave gives his Fighter the knowledge religion skill, which is a cross-classed skill for the fighter. For Dave�s Fighter, the knowledge religion skill is now considered a class skill.
If the player chooses a skill that is exclusive to another class then you are considered trained in that skill, but have zero ranks in that skill (you still gain the +2 for the bonus and any pluses from ability score). You can not put any more skill points into that skill unless you take a class that allows that skill to be used. For example, Dave makes a first level Fighter and he wants his background that he is from a magic-using family, so he takes the apprentice feat. Dave gives his fighter the use magic device skill. His fighter can now has the skill use magic device and is considered trained, but with zero ranks. Dave�s fighter has +1 Charisma bonus, so his total skill modifier is +3 with zero ranks in use magic device. Because it is an exclusive class skill Dave�s fighter cannot improve use magic device unless he becomes a Bard or Rouge.
Special: A character can only take this feat once and only at the first character level. (By Dave Mendez)

Body of Flame [General]

Prereq: Must be a member of an Elemental Circle.
Benefit: Upon making a successful CON check (DC15), the character transforms himself into a solid mass of flame that is roughly the same size and shape as his body.

Grappled characters must make Reflex saves of DC20 to avoid catching fire. The character must make a Will save (DC15) to return to his normal shape; if the save fails, it can be retried.
Special: The character can maintain the body of flame for one minute per character level obtained. If the character does not revert to his normal shape before the time expires, he must make a Fort save (DC20) or fall unconcious as he is forced to return to his normal body. If the character is submerged in water or in placed in an oxygenless environment while in his firey state, he instantly reverts to his normal physical form. Once again, he must make a Fort save (DC20) or fall unconcious as he is forced to return to his normal body. (By Steve Miller)

Benefit: Upon making a successful Fear or Horror check, the character receives a +2 circumstance bonus to all saving throws and skill checks for the duration of the encounter due to the icy calm with which he or she faces mortal danger; the recognition that everyone dies sometime can sometimes be a source of strength.

Benefit: �The character can heal any living being touched. The maximum number of hit points restored are equal to the character possessing this feat's Charisma Modifier plus level.

The character can use this ability a number of times per day equal to his or her Charisma Modifier. (By Caedrus Covakel)

Special: If the character can address an individual or a crowd for at least five minutes, the character can create an effect similar to the mass charm spell described in the D&D Player�s Handbook. This is considered a special ability for the purposes of resistances. For ease of play, the GM can give PCs and key NPCs listening to the character with the Inspirational feat individual Will saves to avoid the effect, but groups of NPCs should receive a single saving throw. Targets must be able to comprehend what the speaker is saying for the feat to be effective. For every five minutes, the speaker rolls another skill check and influences that many more individuals
The number of characters effected and the difficulty of the saving throw is determined by the level of success of the speaker�s Diplomacy or Oratory skill check.

Shrink Spell [Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard. Metamagic]
You can cast spells that affect a smaller area than normal.
Benefit: A Shrunk spell has a smaller area of effect than normal, although this does not alter the _shape_ of the spell. When the spell is prepared the caster selects the size of the area it will affect. This size must be a multiple of five feet and must be at least 5' smaller than the normal area of effect.
Shrink spell does not affect the range of the spell except for spells such as 'Cone of Cold' where the area of effect is the range.
A shrunk spell uses a spell slot of its normal level.As usual with Metamagic a Sorcerer or Wizard needs a full round action to cast a Shrunk spell.
Example: Hassan's best combat spell is Fireball but he does not dare cast a 20' radius Fireball in the city as it will annoy the neighbors and the guard. Instead Bob prepares his Fireball to be 5' in diameter.
Example 2: Suel is a Druid who wishes to cast Plant Growth to benefit a nearby farm but she want to make sure that the benefits of the spell do not reach nearby farmers who have not paid her to cast the spell. Sue prepares Plant Growth to affect an area 400' in diameter instead of a mile in diameter. (By Peter Newman)

In addition, moving through a space threatened by the opponent does not draw an attack of opportunity from that opponent. (By Gomez)

Ugly [General]
Prerequisite: Charisma modifier of -1 or more
Benefit: A character choosing the ugly feat uses is natural unmodified charisma modifier as an absolute positive number for the Intimidate and Gather Information skills. Thus a character with a -3 Charisma modifier will get a +3 bonus both to Intimidate and Gather Information.
