Benefit: Select a number of spells you know equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier (minimum one) that are able to be kept in the chracter’s mind at the same time, also called a “spell-suite.” Each day, you pick a number of spells with a total spell level equal to that number from your spellbooks and you may replace any spells chosen before with those. You may select the same spell multiple times. From now on, you are considered to have those spells in your “spell-suite,” meaning they can be cast once per encounter by expending a Harmony point, as either move or full-round actions, rather than taking the minutes or hours spells typically do. A spell in your spell-suite does not require you to have the book or scroll you learned it from, but you must have all the required components or other conditions required to cast it, including being able to make the appropriate gestures or incantations. Once the spell is cast, you have used it up for the duration of the encounter, unless you select the same spell multiple times.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, it adds 1 + your Wisdom modifier spells (minimum 1) to your spells at hand.

Improved Magic Defense (Su) [Element/Racial]:

Your ability to avoid the effects of some spells increases.

Prerequisites: Magic Defense.

Benefit: You have spell defense equal to 15 + the highest Grade known to the character, in addition to your normal defenses. It never interferes with your own spells or incantations, and you can voluntarily lower your spell defense at any time. This replaces the spell defense granted by Magic Defense, it does not augment it.

Higher Knowledge (Ex) [Element/Racial]:

Prerequisites: Apprentice Spell Knowledge talent.

Benefit: You learn a number of additional spells from the spell list of any known Grade equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). These spells are not considered in your “spell-suite,” you just have them in a book, on a scroll, or otherwise in your possession.

Magic Defense (Su) [Element/Racial]:

Some spells cast against you simply fail to work.

Prerequisite: The ability to cast spells.

Benefit: You gain spell defense equal to 10 + the highest Grade known to the character, in addition to your normal defenses. It never interferes with your own spells or incantations, and you can voluntarily lower your spell resistance at any time.

Magical Savant (Ex) [Element/Racial]:

Prerequisite: Spell Mastery.

Benefit: Whenever you roll a natural 20 on a Spellcraft check to activate a spell you have mastered, as a swift action, you may return a use of any spell to your spell suite without spending a Harmony point.

Signature Spell (Ex) [Element/Racial]:

You are so familiar with a mastered spell that you can spontaneously cast it off, converting other prepared spells into that spell.

Prerequisite: Spell Mastery.

Benefit: Each time you take this feat, choose a spell that you have mastered with Spell Mastery. You may now convert prepared arcane spells of that spell’s level or higher into this signature spell.

Special: You may gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new spell that meets the prerequisites.

Spell Mastery (Ex) [Element/Racial]:

Prerequisite: Apprentice Spell Knowledge talent.

Benefit: Each time you take this feat, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier that you already know. From that point on, you can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook or scroll.

Normal: Without this feat, you must use a spellbook or scroll to prepare all your spells.

Racial Feats

Earth Pony Feats

Able Acrobat (Ex) [Racial]

Prerequisite: Advanced Acrobatic Training:

Benefit: Once per encounter the character can execute a single acrobatic maneuver from his training-suite without paying Fatigue.

Bucking Bronco (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: Str 13+

Benefit: The pony counts as one size category larger for the purpose of resisting/breaking grapple.

Crystal Pony (Su) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: The Character must be born in the Chrystal Kingdom (Only available at character creation)

Benefit: You can spend a Harmony Point as a reaction to aid another ally within 6 squares, using normal aid another rules. Whenever you aid an ally, that ally gets an additional +1 bonus from your aid another action. You get a -1 racial penalty to your Will Defense.

Plant Empathy (Ex) [Racial]:

Benefit: Some Earth Ponys can really get into harmony with plants. The character can improve the attitude of a plant-creature. This ability functions just like a Social check made to improve the attitude of a person. To use plant empathy, the character and the plant creature must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing a plant in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

Powerful Bucking (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: Bucking Bronco

Benefit: The Earth Pony's attack gains double strength bonus to attacks. Normally two-hooved attacks are resolved as [W]+1.5xSTR and 1 hoof attacks are resolved as [W]+STR. This quirk increases that to [W]+3xSTR and [W]+2xSTR for two and one-hooved attacks respectively.

Crystal Pony (Ex) [Racial, Template]:

Prerequisites: only available during Character Creation.

Benefit: You are one of the Crystal Ponies from the Crystal Empire. A Crystal Pony starts with only 3 Harmony Points because of their dark past. As long as a Crystal Pony has less then 5 Harmony Points there Charisma drops by -2 Points and there receive a -2 racial penalty on Cunning and Will Defense. If they reach 5 Harmony Points or more they change their status dramatically. The Charisma get a Boost to Charisma Base Rating +2 and the Cunning and Will Defense are back to normal. In addition, they gain a +2 bonus on skill checks to impress someone with their look. Every Bonus or Penalty is racial and stacks withs all other Bonies and Penalty.

Pegasus Pony Feats

Able Flier (Ex) [Racial]

Prerequisite: Advanced Flight Training:

Benefit: Once per encounter the character can execute a single flight maneuver from his training-suite without paying Fatigue.

Advanced Aerial Combat You have become so effective in combat that you have learned to control a greater area in the battlefield.

Prerequisite: Aerial Combat

Benefit: Your effective attack area is double that of normal.

Aerial Combat (Ex) [Racial]

You are trained to fight while in flight.

Prerequisite: Str 15, Dex 15

Benefit: When attacking in flight you gain +2 to attack rolls.

Incredible Flier (Ex) [Racial]:

Benefit: You improve your maneuverability class by one step when using any ability to fly. For example, a creature rated as a good flier becomes a perfect one. A perfect flier ignores the first increment of reduction in maneuverability due to adverse effects. You increase your base flying speed by 2 squares.

Weak Flier (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: (Only available at character creation)

Benefit: Your maneuverability class is reduced by one step. For example an average flier becomes a poor one. You decrease your base flying speed by 2 squares. You may select any one Earth pony feat instead for which you meet the requirements. You are no longer eligible for the following feats: Able Flier, Aerial Combat, Incredible Flier.

Weather Shaper (Su) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: Cloud Bender and Weather Master talents.

Benefit: So long as the Pegasus is within 50 feet of a cloud, they can use any other Profession [weather working] actions or Weather Working talents on it.

Normal: Profession [weather working] actions or Weather Working talents can only be used if the character touches its target.

Wing Buffet (Ex) [Racial]:

Benefit: You may make an attack with your wings at your highest base attack bonus with a -2 penalty. This attack deals no damage, but allows you to initiate a trip or disarm attempt. Your wings are treated as a two-handed weapon for these purposes. The attack may be made as a part of a full attack action or by itself as a standard action.

Wingwielder (Ex) [Racial]:

You have learned to use your wings as defensive weapons in combat. They are almost like another pair of arms.

Benefit: You can attach a specially-designed shield to each of your wings. You cannot fly while using a shield in this manner. Furthermore, sunder attacks risk damaging your wings. Any sunder attack that causes more damage than necessary to destroy either of your wing shields inflicts the excess damage on you and also injures your wings. Your flight speed drops by 20 ft. and your maneuverability class is reduced by one. Every 20 ft. of lost flight speed takes 8 days to heal naturally. Each day spent with no flying or use of your wings whatsoever counts as 2 days, as does each day in which you are tended by someone who makes a Heal check (DC 20). Minimum healing time is 4 days.

Unicorn Pony Feats

Befriend Magical Item (Su) [Racial]:

Benefit: A unicorn may spend 6 hours studying a magical item, during which time they must make a use magic device check. If they succeed in using the device during this time, the item is becomes their friend. Later uses of the item require no further Use Magic checks. Should the item be lost or stolen, however, the unicorn will suffer a -2 saddness penalty to all skill checks for 24 hours.

Effortless Telekinesis (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: Concentration as a trained skill.

Benefit: The unicorn may now uphold their telekinesis ability without concentration. The duration can be indefinite, although most unicorns don't see a pressing need to levitate objects near them at all times.

Friendship is Magic (Ex) [Racial]:

Benefit: Allies may assist a unicorn (via the assist other action) in casting a spell, regardless of whether or not the ponies assisting know how to use magic - the unicorn simply benefits from their cheerleading. The assisted spell is cast with a +1 harmonic bonus to the caster's Use Magic roll level per assisting ally, maximum bonus of character level/3, miniumum 1, rounded down.

Pragmatic Magic (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites: no Low-Magic Talent.

Benefit: Some Unicorns find esoteric and highly specialized uses for their less developed magic ability. +1/2 character levels arcane bonus to all profession and crafting skills.

The Horn Points the Way (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisites:

Benefit: +2 competence bonus on skill rolls made with spells and spell-like abilities.

Sea Pony Feats

Breathing Link [General]

You can allow a person adjacent to you to breathe water.

Prerequisite: Aquatic elf or water genasi, base Will save +2,

Benefit: As a free action on your turn, you can select one creature within 5 feet of you and give that creature the ability to breathe water as easily as you do. This supernatural ability renews automatically for that creature until you direct the ability to another creature or withdraw your power from it (a free action). The creature's ability to breathe water ends immediately if you are separated by more than 5 feet or if you die, at which point the creature begins to drown if it is still underwater. This ability does not hamper the creature's ability to breathe air, nor does it change the creature's ability (or inability) to swim.

Special: You can select this feat more than once. Each time you take this feat, you can affect an additional creature with this ability. All such creatures need to remain within 5 feet of you (not each other). If one creature exceeds the range of this power, its subsequent distress has no effect on the other creatures you are helping.

Rapid Swimming [General]

You are one with the water.

Prerequisite: base Fortitude save +2, Natural swim speed

Benefit: Your swim speed increases by 20 feet.

Resist Ocean’s Fury (Ex)

Prerequisite: 4th level

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against spells of the water type or the exceptional or supernatural abilities of creatures with the aquatic or water subtype.

Tail Walking (Ex) [Racial]:

You have learned to use your tail while out of water somewhat more gracefully than most of your kind.

Prerequisite: Sea Pony only

Benefit: Your base land speed increases to 10 feet.

Buffalo Feats

Battering Ram (Ex) [Combat, Racial]:

Prerequisites: Power Attack.

Benefit: With this feat, the Buffalo may use its charge attack against a door, wall, or other stationary object. The Buffalo deals 3d8 plus its Strength Bonus in damage to the object per round of the assault. It also adds any other bonuses derived from attacking an immobile object.

Call Stampede (Su) [Combat, Racial]:

You can call on your fellow beasts to flatten everything in sight.

Prerequisites: 5th level; Charisma 13+.

Benefit: You can let out a thundering below once a week that calls the nearest herd of any herd animals to stampede through your location, nearly destroying everything in sight. The herd arrives in 3d10 minutes. Roll a d4 to determine from which direction the stampede arrives. The ground will begin to shake and the rumble will be heard for several turns before the stampede arrives. The herd cuts a swath of destruction starting from the edge of the map and continuing to the opposite edge. This tide of destruction is 20 feet wide plus an additional 5 feet for each 3 of your character levels, centered on your location at the time you made the call. The front edge of the wave moves 160 feet per turn until it leaves the map, with the tail edge following 6d6 feet behind. For each turn a creature, character, or object is within the area of the stampede, they must make a Reflex and a Fortitude save versus a DC of 15. For each save failed, the target takes 2d6 damage, with a successful save reducing this by half. All movement within the stampede area (except flying) is restricted; no run or charge actions can be taken unless the target is under freedom of movement or a similar spell. This ability can only be used above ground in a climate or region similar to your home territory.

Massive Blow (Ex) [Combat, Racial]:

Prerequisites: Improved Charge

Benefit: By hurling its entire body upon its attacker, the quadruped character is able to knock its opponent off guard, pushing the target back with incredible force as per a Bull Rush. This attack does not require a charge but does count as a Full Attack Action. When the character performs a Massive Blow, it does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity from the defender, and it may push the target back 1O feet rather than 5.

Camelid Feats

Camel’s Endurance (Ex) [Racial]:

Prerequisite: Camelid or Dromedan

Benefit: Heroes with this feat can survive on only half as much water as a normal person needs.

Water-Finding (Su) [Racial]:

Prerequisite: Camelid or Dromedan

Benefit: Camels have an instinctive ability to find water, even if it is beneath rocks or other natural barriers. A camel with this Feat can be given a command to find water and will then proceed to the nearest source of freshwater (within one day’s travel).

Animal Feats

Scent (Ex) [Racial]

This feat allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.

Benefit: The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the creature comes within 5 feet of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location.

Special: A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility. Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily. False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.
