Prerequisite: Multilingual.

Benefit: Whenever you encounter a new language, either spoken or written, you can make an Intelligence check (for spoken) or Decipher Script check (for written) to determine if you can understand it. The DC for the check depends on the situation: DC 5 if the language is in the same group as a language you have as a Read/Write Language or Speak Language skill; DC 20 if the language is unrelated to any other language you know; and DC 25 if the language is ancient or unique (Antelopian Hieroglyphs, or the Buffaloes Voice of Thunder). With this feat, you can glean enough meaning from a conversation or document to ascertain the basic message, but this feat in no way simulates actually being able to converse or fluently read and write a given language.

Species Feats

Unicorn Pony Feats

• Befriend Magical Item () []:

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.

• Friendship is Magic () []:

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 +1 effective caster level per assisting ally, maximum bonus of character level / 3, miniumum 1, rounded down.

Buffalo Feats

• Battering Ram () [Combat, Species]:

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 () [Combat, Species]:

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 () [Combat]:

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.

Griffon Feats

• Snatch () [Flight]:

Prerequisite: Flight, Strength 17+

Benefit: The steed has the ability to snatch flightless opponents off the ground and carry them into the sky. When attacking from the air, the animal makes a normal attack with its natural weapon. This attack must enable the steed to carry off the opponent. Thus, it must be a bite, a claw, or some other attack that would enable the steed to get ahold of its opponent. If the attack is successful, the steed may immediately make a Grapple check as a Free Action and without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If the Grapple is also successful, the steed snatches the target off the ground and may carry it away. The target of this attack must be at least one size smaller than the creature making the Snatch.

Camelid Feats

• Camel’s Endurance () [Species]:

Prerequisite: Camelid or Dromedan

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

• Water-Finding () [Species]:

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).
