Chapter 6: Feats

Feat Descriptions


Quick Draw

You're able to draw a weapon a lot faster than an average person.

Benefit: When you draw a weapon, you do not use a move action. If you have the Dual Ranged Weapons Feat, you may draw 2 pistols. If you have the Dual Melee Weapons Feat, you may draw 2 blades.

Normal: Without this feat, a character uses a move action to draw, holster or sheath a weapon.

Note: This feat is similar to the Combat Spell Quick Draw.

Special: Quick Draw may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Ranged Training: Basic

You're decent at using Ranged Weapons.

Benefit: Your Ranged Base Attack Bonus uses the "good" column. You can use Simple and Martial Ranged weapons.
See Determine Base Attack Ability for more information.

Normal: Without this feat, your Ranged Base Attack Bonus uses the "poor" column. You can only use Simple weapons.

Using a Martial weapon without any training means that before attacking, the player rolls percentile. A result of 01-60% means that the character was not able to properly use the weapon, resulting in no attack.

Special: Ranged Training: Basic may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Ranged Training: Advanced

You're real good at using Ranged Weapons.

Benefit: Your Ranged Base Attack Bonus uses the "best" column. You can use Simple and Martial Ranged weapons.

Normal: Without this feat, your Ranged Base Attack Bonus uses either the "poor" or "good" column (see Basic).

Special: Ranged Training: Advanced may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Restore Lost

You're able to correct a Character Creation Option.

Benefit: During character creation, there is an option to remove a couple skills or a spells in exchange for a minor point boost. Using this feat, you restore 1 skill or 1 spell. Any benefits previously gained remain. This feat may only be selected twice total.

See also: increased Skill Points and Magic Points.



Riding Attack

You're able to still attack effectively, even while moving.

Benefit: You do not receive any penalties from firing a weapon from a moving vehicle or mount.

Normal: Without this feat, an attacker suffers a -4 penalty to hit if firing from a moving vehicle or mount.

Note: If a target is moving faster relative to you, they may still be very difficult to hit. (The GM may apply a penalty of -1 to -4 to hit a faster moving target.)

Special: Riding Attack may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Self-Sufficient

You've got the instincts of a survivor.

Benefit: All Navigate skill checks, and Survival and Hunting checks gain a free +1d4 bonus to the roll.

Special: This Feat works with trained and untrained skills.



Shield Systems

You're able to get better results from a vehicle's shield system.

Benefit: Any vehicle that has Shields comes with two main statistics: default Damage Reduction, and Damage Reduction if the shields are monitored and tuned by a proficient user. This Feat allows you to use the better statistic.

The Byron Armoured Vehicle commonly features a Shield System.

Normal: Without this feat, shields use the default (worse) Damage Reduction statistic.

Special: Shield Systems may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Single Grip

You're able to wield most 2 handed weapons in one hand.

Benefit: You are able to wield 2 handed swords, axes and hammers in one hand. You are able to carry and fire a Spellchrome Cannon using one hand.

Normal: Without this feat, all 2 handed weapons require two free hands to be used effectively.

Special: Single Grip may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.



Stealthy

You're good at not drawing attention to yourself.

Benefit: All Hide and Move Silently skill checks gain a free +1d4 bonus to the roll.

Special: This Feat works with trained and untrained skills.



Toughness

You're a bit tougher than average.

Benefit: This Feat adds a one time bonus of +3 Hit Points (HP), which allows you to survive a bit more damage.

Normal: See Determine Hit Points for beginning HP.

Special: This Feat may be selected once per level; it's effects stack. This is in addition to any possible bonus Toughness Feats rolled under Trait Bonuses.



Weapon Accuracy

You tend to be accurate with most ranged attacks.

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to hit with pistols and rifles.

Special: Weapon Accuracy may be used as a Starting Combat Feat.
