Pre-Requisites Spellcaster level 3rd+.
Benefit
The character can create a potion of any spell of 3rd level or lower that the character knows and that targets a creature or creatures. Brewing a potion takes 1 day.

The base price of a potion is its spell level multiplied by its caster level multiplied by 50 gp. To brew a potion, the character must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half this base price.
When the character creates a potion, the character makes any choices that the character would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
Any potion that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, the character must expend the material component or pay the XP when creating the potion.

Number of Followers by Level: The character can lead up to the indicated number of characters of each level.
Table: Leadership Modifiers

Special power +1
Failure -1

Follower-Only Leadership Modifiers
The Leader Leadership Modifier
---------- -------------------

Moves around a lot -1
Caused the death of other followers -1
Special Cohorts: With the DM's permission, a leader may seek out a special cohort who is not a member of the standard PC races (the common races).
Followers: A leader attracts followers whose alignments are within one step of his own. These characters have gear appropriate to NPCs of their level. As the leader's Leadership rises, he can attract more followers. If his Leadership goes down, followers may desert.
Replacing Cohorts and Followers: If a leader loses a cohort or followers, he can generally replace them, according to his current Leadership score. It takes time (1d4 months) to recruit replacements. If the leader is to blame for the deaths of the cohort or followers, it takes extra time to replace them, up to a full
year. Note that the leader also picks up a reputation of failure, which decreases his Leadership score.

Pre-Requisites Dex 13+, Dodge, Mobility, base attack bonus +4 or higher.
Benefit
When using the attack action with a melee weapon, the character can move both before and after the attack, provided that the character's total distance moved is not greater than the character's speed. Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender the character attacks. The character can't use this feat if the character is in heavy armor.

Stunning Fist
 
Type: [General]
Pre-Requisites Dex 13+, Improved Unarmed Strike, Wis 13+, base attack bonus +8
or higher.
Benefit
Declare that the character is using the feat before making an attack roll (thus, a missed attack roll ruins the attempt). It forces a foe damaged by the character's unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + one-half the character's level + Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. If the defender fails his saving throw, he is stunned for 1 round (until just before the character's next action). A stunned character can't act and loses any Dexterity bonus to Armor Class. Attackers get a +2 bonus on attack rolls against a stunned opponent. The character may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels attained, and no more than once per round.

A character may gain this feat multiple times.



Track
 
Type: [General]
Pre-Requisites
Benefit
To find tracks or to follow them for one mile requires a Wilderness Lore check. The character must make another Wilderness Lore check every time the tracks become difficult to follow, such as when other tracks cross them or when the tracks backtrack and diverge.
The character moves at half normal speed (or at normal speed with a -5 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions:
Surface DC
------- --
Very soft 5
Soft 10
Firm 15
Hard 20
Very Soft Ground: Any surface (fresh snow, thick dust, wet mud) that holds deep, clear impressions of footprints.
Soft Ground: Any surface soft enough to yield to pressure, but firmer than wet mud or fresh snow, in which the creature leaves frequent but shallow footprints.

Firm Ground: Most normal outdoor surfaces (such as lawns, fields, woods, and the like) or exceptionally soft or dirty indoor surfaces (thick rugs, very dirty or
dusty floors). The creature might leave some traces (broken branches, tufts of hair) but leaves only occasional or partial footprints.
Hard Ground: Any surface that doesn't hold footprints at all, such as bare rock or indoor floors. Most streambeds fall into this category, since any footprints
left behind are obscured or washed away. The creature leaves only traces (scuff marks, displaced pebbles).
Condition DC Modifier
--------- -----------
Every three creatures in the group being tracked -1
Size of creature or creatures being tracked:*
Fine +8

Moonlight +3
Fog or precipitation +3
Tracked party hides trail (and moves at half speed) +5
*For a group of mixed sizes, apply only the modifier for the largest
size category.
**Apply only the largest modifier from this category.

If the character fails a Wilderness Lore check, the character can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.
Normal
A character without this feat can use the Search skill to find tracks, but can only follow tracks if the DC is 10 or less.

Benefit
