City of Splendors: Waterdeep Feats

Dungeoneer's Intuition
(  City of Splendors: Waterdeep, p. 144)

[ General]

You can sense when things don't feel right, and you have a knack for avoiding deadly traps and sudden ambushes.

Prerequisite
trap sense class feature, Wisdom 13,

Benefit
You add your Wisdom bonus to your trap sense bonus. In addition, you can apply your trap sense bonus to your AC during a surprise round (although you still might be fl atfooted if you were not aware of your foes before they struck).

Hand of Tyr
( City of Splendors: Waterdeep, p. 145)

[General]

You have sacrificed your right hand to Tyr, the Maimed God, proving your resilience and strength of spirit. Most who take this feat wrap their right hands in white gauze, voluntarily refraining from using the hand. Others have lost their hand in battle, and a few fanatical followers of the Maimed God choose to cut off their hand to demonstrate their zeal and devotion to Tyr's faith.

Prerequisite
ability to turn undead, alignment lawful good, Patron Tyr,

Benefit
As long as you refrain from using your right hand, you receive a +1 sacred bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and Will saves. Since you are using only one hand, you cannot fi ght with two weapons, wield a two-handed weapon, or fight with a one-handed weapon and a heavy shield. You can fight with a one-handed weapon and a light shield, but you cannot use your shield hand to hold other objects such as a holy symbol, spell components, or a light source. (This means you must use your weapon hand to cast spells, so you might have to drop or sheathe a weapon when you wish to cast a spell requiring your holy symbol or somatic components.) You take a -4 penalty on Climb, Disable Device, Open Lock, and Tumble checks. You can only gain the benefit of wearing one magic ring. If you previously considered yourself right-handed, you suffer no penalty for using your left hand as your primary hand. Handedness isn't defined in the game; the point of the vow is to restrict yourself to using one hand).

Special
If you violate your oaths and use your right hand for any purpose, you lose the benefi ts of this feat until you perform a rite of purification in a shrine or temple of Tyr, which requires 24 hours of vigil and prayer.

Initiate of Shar
( City of Splendors: Waterdeep, p. 145)

[Initiate]

You have been initiated into the greatest secrets of Shar's church.

Prerequisite
Able to cast 1st-level divine spells, patron deity Shar,

Benefit
You add Bluff and Hide to your list of class skills. In addition, you add the following spells to your divine spellcaster spell list. If you have more than one divine spellcasting class before taking this feat, you must decide which class has the additional spells added to its list. 1st Disguise Self: Changes your appearance. 3rd Crushing Despair: Subject takes -2 on attack rolls, damage rolls, saves, and checks. 4th Armor of Darkness: Creates a shroud of shadow around target that grants darkvision, a bonus to AC, and a bonus on some saving throws. 5th Darkbolt: One beam of darkness/2 levels deals damage and dazes opponents.

Special
The armor of darkness and darkbolt spells also appear on the Darkness domain list. With this feat, you can cast them as regular cleric spells, not just domain spells.

Lunar Magic
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;"> (  City of Splendors: Waterdeep, p. 146)

[ General ]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Your spells and spell-like abilities are tied to the phase of the moon, rising and falling with the strength of SelÅ±ne.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">arcane or divine spellcaster level 1st, Patron deity SelÅ±ne or Mystra,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As shown in the table below, your effective caster level for all spells you cast or spell-like abilities you possess is tied to the phase of the moon. For purposes of this feat, the new moon and full moon are considered to last three successive nights (the night before, the night of, and the night after the true full moon or new moon). Since SelÅ±ne's month is almost exactly as long as the calendar month, the moon is always full right at the beginning of the month, and dark right in the middle of the month, as shown below. Moon Phase Days of the Month Effective Caster Level New Moon 15, 16, 17 -1 Full 30, 1, 2 +1

Veil of Cyric
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;"> (  City of Splendors: Waterdeep, p. 146)

[ General ]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You have reconciled yourself to the unfortunate truth that hard decisions and regrettable actions are necessary in the service of your deity. You intrinsically rationalize any nongood act, believing your actions to be just and pure.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Any evil alignment, cannot worship an evil god, not an outsider,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You do not register as evil to detect evil spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities unless the aura power (see the detect evil spell, Player's Handbook page 218) of the detector exceeds your own. For example, the aura power of a paladin 7/blackguard 1 is moderate, so a good-aligned cleric would need to be 9th level to detect his evil nature. This feat provides no benefi t against attempts to smite evil or spells such as holy smite or holy word. You are evil, you simply do not register as such to most detect evil attempts.
