Class Feats(NeXT)

Class Feats

Class feats play a significant role in determining what your character is good at. Perhaps your character is a swordsman? Or a mage? Or a craftsman? The following sets of feats will help separate your character from the rest of the pack in these particular professions!

Class feats are taken as follows:

You may take up to THREE classes. These are taken outside of your feat list. These class bonuses can overlap, but the total bonus stacked may not exceed +5. So, for example, if you take both Knight and Mageknight, then your total sword bonus will still be +5, rather than +8. However, if you took Samurai and Mageknight, the +3s add to +6. The only time your combined classes can break the +5 bonus cap is with Onion Knight.

Upon character creation, you can take up to three classes. These are listed separate from the feat list. They serve as enablers, allowing you to take the feats within those classes. You can take 1 feat within each class every 1000 XP.

Please note that this is a ROLL BONUS, not a bonus to Skill Level.

Additionally, you may take ONE class feat for each class every 1000 XP.

Let's look at an example:

In this instance, in the first 1000 XP, 3 class feats are taken, 1 from each class. From 1100-2000 XP, another class feat is taken from each class, and so forth. Additionally, notice that there is a total of +5 bonus to sword proficiency here even though Fighter and Paladin stack to +8. In this instance, the total bonus is +5.

Without further ado...the class feats!

Martial Class Feats

The martial classes are those heavily trained or invested in physical, melee combat. These powerful front-line soldiers are powerhouses of pain, and while their styles and forms will differ greatly from class-to-class, there are unifying standards that keep them aligned. They grow rapidly and reach power quickly, with which they use to destroy their enemies and protect their allies.
__________________________________________________________________________

Effect: On a divine attack roll, a fighter may strike an additional target once as if it were a regular melee attack, sans crit. This attack uses your divined roll.

Quick Attack
Associated Class: Fighter
Description: Fighters are masters of opportunity. When an enemy trips or falls, their blade is ready to strike the target at a moment’s notice, giving them an edge in combat.

Improved Combo
Associated Class: Fighter
Description: Fighters know how to squeeze the most out of a single attack action, and can land one extra regular hit when performing a regular attack.
Effect: Fighters engaging with weapons that support combo strikes may add a +1 to their number of possible hits(1d2 becomes 1d3, etc). This does not apply to dual wielding.

The Best Defense
Associated Class: Fighter
Description: Fighters work best when they are on the offensive, and once they have the upper hand in a battle, it can be difficult to overturn them.
Effect: For every successful melee attack, gain a +3 dodge/block bonus up to a maximum of +15. This bonus is reset should you miss an attack, or should anything ‘reset’ the tide of battle (the opponent spends a turn fleeing to a better position, gets knocked down, etc).

Damage Control
Associated Class: Fighter
Pre-Requisite: The Best Defense
Description: Fighters often find themselves thrown into the thick of combat, in melee with opponents as dangerous or more dangerous than they are. In these instances, fighters can use their adrenaline.

Class - Knight
Associated Statistic:
Description: Knights, while considered somewhat archaic by some civilizations, still maintain a heavy presence across states, countries, and even worlds.

Improved Defender
Pre-Requisite: Defender
Associated Class: Knight
Description: A shield bearing knight may use their shield to intercept damage for a defended person before their turn. In melee, this will knock a person off guard and offer a strike of opportunity to the knight.
Effect: On a successful cover (the block must succeed), this feat grants a +200 to damage in addition to the Defender feat, and extends the duration to 1d5 rounds.

Courageous Hero
Associated Class: Knight
Description: The knight is not easily intimidated by beasts. Their years of training to be heroes allow them to resist intimidation from their opponents.
Description: +10 to Speechcraft defense rolls.

Honorable Strike
Associated Class: Knight
Description: The honorable knight will not strike an opponent while he is down, but instead allow them to stand. This can be a show of great inner strength, and give a revitalized feeling of valor during the battle that you do not need to resort to dishonor to win.
Effect: Triggers when the character opts out of striking an opponent in knockdown, and instead holds his/her action. For 5 rounds, gain a +5 to attack and dodge, and a +200 damage bonus on your normal attacks. Only triggers if turn is held until opponent can get back up.

Well Met
Associated Class: Knight
Description: A knight knows how to avoid killing their opponent unnecessarily. After years of training, they are masters of their chosen weapon with enough proficiency to leave an enemy at exactly the brink of losing without killing them.
Effect: On a blow that would otherwise knock unconscious or kill, a knight may opt to leave a target at 1 hp. There is no guarantee they will not continue to fight anyway however. If an enemy is spared in battle, at GM discretion, the knight may receive 1 'Honor Point'. Each Honor Point grants a +2 bonus to Diplomacy-related Speechcraft checks, capping at +20. A Knight with 5 Honor Points gains the 'Clean Reputation' trait. 10 grants the 'Famous' trait and the 'Hunted' (???) trait. You can only gain 1 honor point per mission.

Class - Monk
Associated Statistic:
Description: While the term 'monk' originated from old monastic faiths that trained the body to hone the soul, it is not always so with every practitioner. Monks are, however, very spiritual fighters, whether it's based in a higher power, the self, or simply spiritual energy.
Effect: +5 to Martial Arts, Athletics, +3 to Perception, Acrobatics

Class - Ninja
Associated Statistic:
Description: Highly-trained, secretive warriors of classical civilizations, the ninja are cult-like sects of assassin-like warriors that meld with the darkness and strike at opportune moments. Their arsenal of small, concealable weaponry makes them lethal in any situation.
Effect: +3 Weapon Proficiency: Daggers/Knives, +3 Weapon Proficiency: Throwing Weapons, +5 Stealth, +3 to Speechcraft, Perception

Ninja Arts

Description: Ninja have access to ninjitsu skills that the average person does not. Through their training, they can develop advanced custom techniques that make use of smoke and mirrors to intimidate and silently dispatch their opponents.

Ninja Vanish
Associated Class: Ninja

Effect: Ninja sneak attack damages are increased by +250 provided the enemy is not alert of a possible intruder.

Ninja Reflexes
Associated Class: Ninja
Description: Ninja are capable of pushing their bodies through rigorous training, able to perform acts of precision acrobatics with ease. It is unwise to attempt to challenge a ninja with a gun… if at all.
Effect: Ninja gain a +5 to Athletics, Acrobatics, and reaction checks.

Ninja Assassinate
Associated Class: Ninja
Description: Without the same rigorous training as a Ninja, many lesser opponents find themselves unprepared for combat with a much more skilled opponent. Thus, they leave themselves more open to the deadly skills they possess.
Effect: When dealing with unalerted mooks, a Ninja’s sneak attack gains a % chance for instant KO equal to current Stealth level * 5.

Ninja Master
Associated Class: Ninja
Pre-Requisite: At least 2 of the other Ninja Class Feats
Description: A suitably trained Ninja can reach the level of master upon significant experience. A ninja master is a deadly opponent who is dangerous in open combat, or even more so in stealth combat.
Effect: Ninja Masters may roll reaction vs a botched ranged attack provided the enemy is within 1 area. On a success, the ninja is granted a 1-hit counterattack, closing the gap to the enemy. Also doubles bonus from Ninja Vanish to +500.

Class - Berserker
Associated Statistic:
Description: Berserkers are classical warriors of the wilds, powerful and unstoppable fighters with their massive weapons and bad tempers. Berserkers only get more powerful and more dangerous the more they get hurt or angry.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Axes/Hammers, +5 Athletics, +3 Survival, +3 Speechcraft

Class - Dark Knight
Associated Statistic:
Description: "Fell" Knights as they're generally called, are normally considered the antithesis of Paladins, or Holy Knights. Their power comes from dark, corrupting sources, and while this of course doesn't dictate their personalities, most Dark Knights acknowledge that their fates have been decided by the evil blades they wield.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Swords, Weapon Proficiency: Shields, Speechcraft

Class - Dragoon
Associated Statistic:
Description: Dragoons in classical civilizations were heavily-armored anti-cavalry soldiers. That generally holds true across all nations -- however, the most powerful Dragoons are those that work with the strongest cavalry beasts: Dragons. Their abilities are honed to a razor's edge in order to take on, command, defeat, subjugate, or simply emulate these grand, destructive creatures.
Effect: +5 Acrobatics, Weapon Proficiency: Polearms, Athletics

Dismount
Associated Class: Dragoon
Description: A dragoon, in conjunction with a lance or appropriate weapon, is capable of attacking directly the pilot of a vehicle that is not colossal (IE: A one or 2 person vehicle like a mech, fighter jet, car, jeep, etc, but not a starship).
Effect: Dragoon may make a single-hit regular attack or advanced skill vs a pilot in a vehicle with a pilot risk of 40% or greater (this must be a called shot unless the pilot risk is at least 75%). If it hits, the pilot is forcibly removed from the vehicle. Does not apply to space combat. Will not necessarily work on 'covered' craft; GM discretion will apply.

Dragoon Jump
Associated Class: Dragoon
Description: A dragoon, with sufficient training, can learn to jump to extreme heights that make attacking with bows and arrows, or melee weapons impossible. When they land, they may use their inertia to make a powerful (if difficult) strike against a single target.
Effect: While jumping, a dragoon can only be targeted by ranged weapons/magic attacks. When the jump starts, roll a 1d3. This is how many rounds that you will remain in the air. When landing, make an attack at -5*roll to get a +200 bonus to damage.

Dragoon Defense
Associated Class: Dragoon
Description: By holding their lance or pole arm properly, a dragoon is capable of creating a powerful defense simply by pointing their weapon. Enemies in melee range must use caution to avoid being impaled while attacking.
Effect: When covering/defending against any melee attacker, should the melee attacker fail to beat the dragoon's defense roll, they take one normal attack's worth of damage and are stopped. Should they fail to beat the defense roll by 25, their attack lands, but they still take the defender's normal attack's damage. Must have a polearm equipped to use.

Cavalry Charge
Associated Class: Dragoon
Description: A dragoon is at their best when mounted with their weapon upon the back of a beast, either modern or mechanical. Using their weapon in such a way grants them the strength of the vehicle to aid in their attack
Effect: This feat allows you to add your vehicle skill level to a mounted melee attack or dodge.[REVISION]

Improved Cavalry Charge
Associated Class: Dragoon
Prerequisite: Cavalry Charge
Description: By further refining their art, a dragoon can be a fearsome opponent upon a mount, enough to fell regimens of larger size or strength.
Effect: This feat allows you to add your vehicle skill level to the bonus of mounted attack & dodge checks, and apply vehicle advanced skills where applicable.

Class - Samurai
Associated Statistic:
Description: Samurai are equivalent to Knights of other civilizations; they serve a higher power, whether it's religious, political, economic, or otherwise, and pledge to it with their lives.

Effect: +5 to Weapon Proficiency: Swords, +3 to Weapon Proficiency: Bows, Speechcraft, Reaction, and one Artisan skill.

Class - Sentinel
Associated Statistic:
Description: Sentinels are powerful, trained defenders of others. They're excellent escorts, bodyguards, and front-line shock troopers, and generally use their protection as weapons as well. Charging head-first into a Sentinel isn't advised.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Shields, +5 Athletics, +3 Perception & Reaction

Class - Pugilist
Associated Statistic:
Description: Fierce hand-to-hand, brawler-type combatants, pugilists aren't the intense-concentration, pure-mind-and-body fighters that monks or spiritualists are, but instead fight dirty, ruthlessly, and generally with a disregard for honorable combat.
Effect: +5 Martial Arts, +3 Stealth, Artisan: Medicine, Athletics, Reaction

Class - Nightblade
Associated Statistic:
Description: Nightblades are talented close-combat specialists much like ninja or assassins, utilizing stealth and light steps combined with a powerful surprise attack to end foes before they're even known to exist.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Swords OR Weapon Proficiency: Throwing Weapons OR Weapon Proficiency: Knives/Daggers, +5 Stealth, +3 Acrobatics & Perception

Shadow Dance
Associated Class: Nightblade
Description: As much as skill, a Nightblade must be a master of theatrics. By deceiving their opponent into thinking they possess superhuman abilities, they become the subject of legends.
Effect: By making a dramatic dodge (superhuman or otherwise remarkable for its acrobatics or methodology), a Nightblade gains a +10 to their next attack roll. This is post dependant and –must be declared- during the dodge.

The Blade Hungers
Associated Class: Nightblade
Description: Nightblades are practitioners of sometimes odd or obscure rituals. One of the most obscure of these rituals involves an almost voodoo where some belonging of a target is rubbed against a weapon or blade.
Effect: At the very least, this grants a +10 roll to any tracking roll (spot/search/gather info), and can grant insight to specific movements similar to scrying in rare instances.

From the Shadows, I Strike
Associated Class: Nightblade
Description: Part of the theatricality and drama of the Nightblade is that they are rarely seen. An enemy who walks into the shadow in their presence will be hard pressed to emerge from it again.
Effect: If an enemy is in the dark, a Nightblade may use their athletic ability to retain the element of surprise continually while attacking them in melee, forcing the enemy to dodge flatfoot. Enemies that can see in the dark or sense supernaturally are exempt from this.

No Second Glances
Associated Class: Nightblade
Description: The reflexes of a Nightblade are honed well beyond that of normal humans. They think quicker, move faster, and react more rapidly than an average human. This can catch the uninitiated off guard.
Effect: Two effects: +5 to reaction checks, and against a poorly trained enemy (low level mook, rent-a-cop security and so on), a Nightblade may make a flatfoot attack even if spotted. This only works if the enemy would not otherwise be expecting you to attack (those familiar with you, well trained enemies, already alerted guards won’t fall for this).

One More For My Score
Associated Class: Nightblade
Description: While traditionally a Nightblade does not brag about ones skills, some do consider their work a matter of pride. The best even keep track of the number they have slain and the methods they have slain them… if for no other reason than to convince others not to trifle in their affairs.
Effect: For every enemy stealthily assassinated, gain an extra +100 damage. For every enemy that sees you or you fail to assassinate, -100 damage. This caps at +500 or -500.

Class - Viking
Associated Statistic:
Description: The term "Viking" is assigned to many classical or pre-classical civilizations' seafarers -- or the barbarians they fought against -- who would pillage and raid coastal areas with impunity. They were talented ship-to-ship combatants and fearsome raiders. Modern Vikings use high-powered watercraft to achieve the same ends.
Effect: +3 Weapon Proficiency: Axes/Hammers, Weapon Proficiency: Shields, +5 Survival, +3 Heavy Sea Vehicle Operation, Perception

Tales of Honor
Associated Class: Viking
Description: The Vikings held no fear of the paranormal. Beasts of any shape or sort were the stuff of legends. What would Beowulf be without his Grendel? Instead, this courage is a source of strength for Vikings, and building a repertoire of tales to tell only increases this well.
Effect: For any boss that a Viking has performed a valorous deed against (IE: Was the most important in defeating, landed the final blow, etc, determined by GM discretion), the GM will tell the character a strength based on something that boss. Before a mission, regale the party with your exploits regarding that fight (only one, any more and you bore them), and gain that strength as your own.

Hearty Feast
Associated Class: Viking
Description: The Vikings predominantly hailed from the harsh northern area’s of Europe. In Viking society, banquets were often thrown in honor, or tribute, or to fight on a full stomach.
Effect: Eating a full meal before battle grants a deployable +2000 Max HP for one fight. This must be a full course meal prepared ahead of time, not simply a granola bar or MRE on the move.

Feat of Endurance
Associated Class: Viking
Description: In their harsh climate, Vikings are forced to endure conditions that would kill modern man. Those that manage to live are made strong, and can make even some superhuman challenges of endurance seem meager in comparison, especially if it will become the subject of legend.
Effect: A Viking with this feat is capable of enduring great pain or physical exhaustion, exertion or duress. This grants a +25 to strength rolls in such circumstances should the conditions be bad enough to merit legend, or +10 in other circumstances. This only applies to rolls where a character is attempting to endure against the natural elements, not in combat or unnatural situations (you can not out endure an ion cannon discharge)

Who Needs Science?
Associated Class: Viking
Description: While Vikings might be lost in the computer age, they are still capable of figuring out applications of weapons. This is particularly true of modern explosives. One great Viking once said “I hate technology… but I love a good explosion”
Effect: Vikings are strong enough to wield missiles and rocket launcher ammo as short range projectile weapons. Be wary of using these however, as you will certainly be "danger close". You may substitute a strength roll for the explosive's DC.

Einherjar
Associated Class: Viking
Prerequisite: Spirit of at least 100, and positive, heroic karma.
Description: One of the few truly spiritual tenants of Viking mythology is the great honor of dying a hero and becoming Einherjar, the army of the gods. The qualifications for this divine transformation are strict, but the legacy of a successful transubstantiation is eternal.
Effect: Taker of this feat stats an Alternate Form as per the standard Feat. The form cannot be manually triggered however, and instead occurs automatically based on the following criteria; The Viking fails a strength check to stay alive, the deathblow inflicted by straight combat (not by natural causes, lingering status effects, malnutrition, anything unmanly to die of), and spends a Fate Point. The form, however it is statted, is considered Undead for all intents and purposes, a spirit free of form but all too tangible to his or her enemies, and at full HP. This prevents revival if the now-Einherjar dies again... The form can be undone by dropping a Revival effect on the original body of the Viking, and the Einherjar reinhabiting it.

Ranged Combat Class Feats

The ranged combat classes are somewhat sparse compared to the martial classes. However, they are diverse and inclusive, allowing for a great range of distance fighters to represent themselves and their abilities well. From the classical archer to the long-distance sniper, the ranged classes are excellent supporters and standalone fighters able to hold their own against the masses.
__________________________________________________________________________

Class - Archer
Associated Statistic:
Description: Well-trained Archers are generally from classical civilizations -- though modern ones use them for civilian hunting/sport and military operations -- and are lithe, strong, talented shots. They're also renowned for being great at arm wrestling.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Bows, Perception, +3 Stealth, Athletics

Class - Juggler
Associated Statistic:
Description: Juggling is an art -- really. The ability to handle multiple items between the hands with equal utility is something many attempt but few master, and those that do can be unpredictable in a fight -- or in a performance. They are, either way, fun to watch.
Effect: +5 to Weapon Proficiency: Throwing Weapons, +3 Athletics, Subterfuge, Acrobatics, Reaction

Class - Scout
Associated Statistic:
Description: Scouts, whether classical or modern, are masters of stealth and precision. They are used to survey areas ahead of others, to lay traps, or to simply move in and out of areas where others can't go. They pick their fights strategically and prefer keeping themselves hidden over direct combat.
Effect: +5 to Weapon Proficiency: Bows & Crossbows OR Sniper Rifles, +3 to Stealth, Perception, Search, Survival

Class - Commando
Associated Statistic:
Description: The modern civilizations' Commando units are among some of the most highly trained and versatile soldiers of the new war. They're well-educated and precise, and while trained in each other's work, each generally specialize in one role to support a group rather than stand alone.
Effect: +5 to [Weapon Proficiency: Pistols OR Weapon Proficiency: Sub-Machine Gun OR Weapon Proficiency: Shotgun OR Weapon Proficiency: Assault Rifles OR Weapon Proficiency: Sniper Rifles OR Weapon Proficiency: Heavy Weapons], +3 Athletics, Reaction, Artisan: Engineering, Survival

Class - Ravager
Associated Statistic:
Description: "Ravager" originated as a pejorative term for a reckless soldier in the Terminus Systems, but it eventually became a term of endearment for them instead, as their akimbo wielding of small weapons (or single wielding a single larger weapon with abandon) made them rather reliably dangerous -- especially in small, enclosed spaces.
Effect: +5 to [Weapon Proficiency: Pistols OR Weapon Proficiency: Sub-Machine Gun OR Weapon Proficiency: Assault Rifles], +5 to Athletics, +3 to Reaction, Acrobatics

Class - Gunslinger
Associated Statistic:
Description: Gunslingers, whose inception dates back to the grey area between classical and modern civilization, are talented showmen and pistoliers, whose wide array of flashy tricks make them a unique and challenging adversary to face -- it's hard to tell where the next bullet will come from; something some people just can't take the pressure of.
Effect: +5 to Weapon Proficiency: Pistols, +3 to Acrobatics, Subterfuge, Reaction, Speechcraft

--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------

Utility Class Feats

The "Utility" classes are those that don't necessarily fit into other categories. They are extremely diverse and varied, and generally provide social benefits or those not directly related to combat. These help define a character beyond his/her combat presence or style, and allow for great diveristy and ingenuity in character interactions, whether it's with other characters, NPCs, or the environment.
__________________________________________________________________________

Class - Athlete
Associated Statistic:
Description: At the peak of physical development, athletes are among the strongest, fastest, or hardiest of their peers. Often involved in competitions, athletes can be either quiet professionals or boisterous superstars.
Effect: +5 Athletics, Acrobatics, +3 to Reaction, Swimming

Parkour
Associated Class: Athlete
Description: Parkour, also known as "free running," is an athletic technique developed to create fluid movement across any type of landscape. While difficult to perfect, once a parkour specialist has momentum, the rest all falls into place.
Effect: When performing a series of "Athletics" checks, the character may choose to have a roll "carry over" to complete more checks, up to (Athletics Skill) times. For example, if the first roll is 100 with a skill of 20, the character can parkour over up to 4 more checks if the roll beats the checks' DC. If a check is over 100, the character must roll again or automatically fail.

Power Parkour
Associated Class: Athlete
Description: A parkour artist can also be a deadly opponent in combat, thanks to the fluid nature of their movements and their ability to gain momentum. A parkour artist's foot can easily transmit momentum to a face as it can to a wall.
Effect: Grants the ability to "charge" an opponent using parkour. If performing a running start (requires at least 1 Area of distance to close to target, check not required), character gains bonus damage on first melee or martial arts-based attack equal to +250 per Area of charge.

Can't Touch This
Associated Class: Athlete
Description: Even in the heat of the moment or unusually tight, enclosed spaces, the athlete is able to use his/her physical training to its utmost, becoming more agile and fleet enough of foot to avoid damage in unusual and creative ways.
Effect: Allows an Athlete to substitute Athletics or Acrobatics to perform a dodge check, even when otherwise inapplicable (a tight hallway, from a standing start). Some areas may still not be applicable.

Distance Counter
Associated Class: Athlete
Description: By using his/her physical prowess in creative and acrobatic ways, the athlete is able to return damage more confidently than others against targets usually immune to counterattacking.
Effect: This feat allows an Athlete to use Reaction-skill Counterattack Advanced Skills on targets at a range, even without critical rolls. (You're still rolling dodge for use of this feat.)

Title Match
Associated Class: Athlete
Description: Athletes, especially professional ones, are gifted in competition; so much so that people will go out of their way to spectate their performances. Scheduled matches can bring in countless credits, and even surprise confrontations can sometimes spawn rewards.
Effect: If an Athlete participates in a competition or tournament of any kind, in addition to standard compensation he/she receives (Luck Roll result x 20) gil from royalties and merch sales. In addition, Athlete accepts "Hunted" trait, as a rival or group of rivals emerges to prove themselves better ... over and over again, if necessary.

Class - Diplomat
Associated Statistic:
Description: A mediator or negotiator whose purpose involves peaceful bargaining with second or third parties, the diplomat is generally an educated person with a great penchant for dealbreaking.
Effect: +5 Speechcraft, Artisan: Writing, +3 Gather Information, Decrypt Code/Language

Ambassador
Associated Class: Diplomat
Description: An ambassador is a step above a standard diplomat, with great legal precedence and respect in their home representation. In most civilizations with any sort of trade or negotiating procedure, ambassadors are granted great leeway in their practices.
Effect: Character is far less likely to be attacked by NPC's while attempting formal diplomatic missions, provided they do not attempt a provocative action (espionage, attack, etc). Attacking a diplomat unprovoked has severe repercussions.

Brilliant Negotiator
Associated Class: Diplomat
Description: One out of every several dozen diplomats has the uncanny ability to bargain from even a generally unintelligible side, the one generally regarded as mad or unreasonable. This insight into irregular psychology can help talk down serial murderers, cut deals between thousand-year religious rivals, or create the ultimate corporate merger.
Effect: A diplomat with this feat can negotiate otherwise impossible outcomes (GM driven, warranty void if attempted on Hands of Giygas), giving them a great edge in diplomacy and cutting down to the bottom line with entities who would otherwise be very unwilling to cut any kind of bargain.

Name Your Price
Associated Class: Diplomat
Description: A shrewd negotiator -- even an "official" one -- knows that oftentimes there are fiscal or material goods and items that can be more powerful bargaining tools than simply a truce or a deal.
Effect: Diplomats can roll Speechcraft to determine if the enemy (mooks generally, though sometimes more potent ranks) has a specific term or price with which they would cooperate or defect.

Diplomatic Immunity
Associated Class: Diplomat
Description: As an envoy of another entity, officially-recognized diplomats are generally considered "immune" to most local laws due to their lofty position within both their home and envoy countries. It's considered a necessity in some, to ensure that a diplomat's duties are properly completed even in trying times. Of course, heinous crimes will result in this status being waived by the home country...
Effect: Requires 1 other Diplomat feat. Due to diplomatic ties, this character is immune to most laws in a country (provided they recognize the diplomatic status). Serious crimes, however, may cause the issuing party to waive immunity or risk their reputation.

Karmic Strike
Associated Class: Diplomat
Description: A diplomat with a good, honest reputation will often be recognized in the communities in which they represent their home entity, and any attack on their person from any others within the community will often result in a rapid, shrewd response from the other members.
Effect: Attacking this Diplomat is considered a breach of law and practice, and will result in a shock through the community. Others may not be so quick to support the attacking party, and those who would otherwise trust this person instinctively know they are dangerous. Any diplomatic action they take is done at half roll until some grand action is performed in the future to make amends.

Class - Beastmaster
Associated Statistic:
Description: Tamers of all things wild, whether it's a simple animal or a magical monster, Beastmasters are experts in animal psychology and well-studied in related fields, such as ancient history and creature mythos. They're always on the hunt for the next great pet.
Effect: +5 Weapon Proficiency: Whip, Monster Training, +3 Stealth, Survival

Class - Onion Knight
Associated Statistic:
Description: The fabled Onion Knight is a talented, multi-speciality warrior said in legends to be master at whatever it attempts to do. It requires time, dedication, and patience, but in the end the Onion Knight always surpasses expectations.
Effect: +5 to all skills that are level 8 or higher and supported by another class. These bonuses may push the Onion Knight past the +5 total cap (no other class can do this).

Class - Sage
Associated Statistic:
Description: Sages are classical soothsayers who spend their lives in the pursuit of knowledge, artifacts, and ultimately the truth behind whatever issue they chase. Sages are mystically inclined, and can always be relied upon to share thought on magical occurrences.

Class - Agent

Class - Medic
Associated Statistic:
