Complete Scoundrel Feats

Acrobatic Backstab
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 84)

[Movement, Skill Trick]

You dart past your opponent's attacks, ending up perfectly positioned for a devastating counterattack.

Prerequisite
Tumble 12 ranks,

Benefit
If you succeed on a Tumble check to move through an enemy's space, you can treat that enemy as flat-footed against the next melee attack you make against it on your current turn.

Your enemy must be standing on the ground or floor in order for you to use this trick.

Ascetic Stalker
 (  Complete Scoundrel, p. 73)

[ General ]

You have practiced a secret technique that combines your considerable talents in unarmed combat with a greater understanding of your inner ki.

Prerequisite
Ki power, ki strike (magic),

Benefit
Your monk and ninja levels stack for the purpose of determining the size of your ki pool. For example, a 4th-level monk/2nd-level ninja with this feat could use her ki powers a number of times equal to 3 (half the sum of her monk and ninja levels) + her Wisdom bonus (if any).

Your monk and ninja levels also stack for the purpose of determining your unarmed strike damage, as well as your ki strike class feature. For example, a 4th-level monk/6th-level ninja would deal 1d10 points of damage with her unarmed strike, and her unarmed strike would overcome damage reduction as a lawful magic weapon (as if she were a 10th-level monk).

In addition, you can multiclass freely between the monk and ninja classes. You must still remain lawful in order to continue advancing as a monk. You still face the normal XP penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart.

Special
A monk can select Ascetic Stalker as a bonus feat at 1st, 2nd, or 6th level instead of one of the other feats indicated for those levels (PH 41)

The target must be within 30 feet of you and able to hear or see you. Make a Perform check, opposed by the target's Sense Motive check (modified as if you were using Bluff to feint in combat).

At the end of your next turn, you fall from the wall unless you succeed on a Climb check against the normal DC + 5 (made as a move action) or you have succeeded on another Climb check to move up or down the wall as normal.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Example: Ember the monk succeeds on a DC 15 Climb check to scramble up 10 feet (one-quarter of her speed) into a corner formed by two typical dungeon walls. Using Corner Perch, she then braces her legs against the walls and uses her remaining standard action to draw and throw a shuriken at a bugbear on the ground below her. On her next turn, still braced in the corner, she draws her quarterstaff and attacks an ogre that has moved next to her, gaining a +1 bonus on the attack roll for higher ground.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You immediately learn up to two movement skill tricks at no cost, and your limit on skill tricks known increases by one. See page 82 for details on movement skill tricks.

Normal
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You are limited to a maximum number of skill tricks equal to one-half your character level

Good Karma

[Luck]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can use your luck to aid an ally--at the risk of your own neck.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can expend one luck reroll as an immediate action to redirect an attack made against an adjacent ally so that it is made against you instead. You must be within reach of the attacker (if a melee attack) or within range of the attack (if a ranged attack) in order to use this ability. The attack roll result remains the same, but it is against your AC, rather than that of your ally. If the redirected attack hits you, you take an extra 50% damage from it. You gain one luck reroll per day

Group Fake-Out
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 87)

[Interaction, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You lean left, go right, and leave a whole group of enemies holding the bag.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Bluff 8 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can use Bluff to feint in combat (PH 68) against more than one opponent. Make one Bluff check opposed by separate Sense Motive checks for each opponent. For each opponent after the first that you wish to affect, you take a cumulative —2 penalty on your Bluff check.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Example: Lidda wants to feint against a group of three orcs, so she rolls a Bluff check with a —4 penalty. Each orc rolls a separate Sense Motive check opposed by Lidda's adjusted Bluff check result

Head Shot
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 77)

[Ambush]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">By striking at your opponent's head, you can temporarily disrupt his thought processes.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your successful sneak attack with a bludgeoning weapon for which you have selected Weapon Focus leaves your foe confused for 1 round. A successful Will save (DC 10 + the number of extra damage dice normally dealt by your sneak attack + your Dex modifier) negates this effect. If you use this feat a second time on a target before 1 round has elapsed, the effect of the first use expires. Using this feat reduces your sneak attack damage by 5d6.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You must be able to reach your foe's head to use this feat with a melee attack

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">After you have used the Sleight of Hand skill to successfully conceal a weapon (PH 81), you can draw that weapon as a move action instead of a standard action. An opponent that was unaware of the concealed weapon is treated as flat-footed against the first attack you make in that turn

Impeding Attack

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your successful sneak attack imposes a -2 penalty on the target's Strength and Dexterity checks, as well as on any Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks, for 10 rounds.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">When you choose a familiar, the creatures on the table below are also available. You can choose a familiar with an alignment up to one step away on each of the alignment axes (lawful through chaotic,good through evil). For example, a chaotic good spellcaster could acquire a neutral familiar. A lawful neutral spellcaster could acquire a neutral good familiar.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This feat was originally presented on page 200 of the DMG; the description here provides new alternatives for arcane spellcasters who want familiars stealthy and versatile enough to follow them anywhere

Improved Skirmish
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 78)

[General]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">With a few extra steps, you gain even greater benefits from your skirmishing combat style.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Skirmish +2d6/+1 AC,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you move at least 20 feet away from where you were at the start of your turn, your skirmish damage increases by 2d6 and your competence bonus to AC from skirmish improves by 2.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">A scout can select Improved Skirmish as one of her scout bonus feats (Complete Adventurer 13).

Normal
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">A scout's bonus damage and AC bonus apply if she moves at least 10 feet away from where she was at the start of her turn (see the skirmish class feature in the sidebar on page 25).

( Complete Scoundrel, p. 87)

[Movement, Skill Trick]

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Climb 5 ranks, Jump 5 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you begin a climb by making a Jump check as a swift action, you can add the vertical distance of your jump to the distance climbed in that round. Treat the Jump check as being made with a running start even if you didn't move at least 20 feet.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Example: Ember the monk is standing at the base of a craggy cliff and wants to scale the cliff as quickly as possible. She spends a swift action to make a Jump check and gets a result of 24. Thus, she adds 6 feet to the distance she climbs in that round

[Mental, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can perfectly repeat to others what you hear.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This trick is particularly useful if you overhear a conversation but don't understand the language spoken, since it allows you to repeat it verbatim to an ally who might be able to translate

For example, a 5th-level fighter/1st-level ninja with this feat could use his ki powers a number of times equal to 3 (one-half his ninja and fighter levels) + his Wisdom bonus (if any), and would have a +1 bonus to AC (as if he were a 6th-level ninja). Your fighter and ninja levels also stack for the purpose of qualifying for feats that require a minimum fighter level, such as Greater Weapon Focus.

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your spellthief levels stack with levels of other arcane spellcaster classes (that is, levels of any class that grants arcane spellcasting other than the spellthief) for the purpose of determining what level of spell you can steal. For example, a 4th-level spellthief/4th-level wizard could steal spells of up to 4th level, as if he were an 8th-level spellthief. Your spellthief and arcane spellcaster levels also stack when determining your caster level for all arcane spells. The character described above would have a caster level of 8th for both his spellthief spells and his wizard spells. In addition, you do not incur a chance of arcane spell failure for arcane spells cast or stolen from other classes, but only if you are wearing light armor. You incur the normal arcane spell failure chance when wearing medium or heavy armor or when using a shield.

Normal
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">A spellthief does not incur a chance of arcane spell failure when casting spellthief spells in light armor.

Mind Drain
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 79)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your successful sneak attack drains power points from your target equal to its manifester level (minimum 1). If this attack reduces your target to 0 power points, the opponent also loses any psionic focus. A target that has no power points when you make the sneak attack is not affected by this feat. You can't use this feat on the same target more than once per round. Using this feat reduces your sneak attack damage by 1d6

In addition, as long as you still have one luck reroll remaining for the day, items in your possession receive a +5 luck bonus on saving throws.

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you use a light weapon to hit a flat-footed opponent, you can choose to have the opponent not realize that it has been hit until the start of your next turn. Instead, that opponent reacts as if you had attacked and missed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Using this skill trick doesn't require an action on your part.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This trick doesn't allow the opponent to ignore any of the other effects of your attack, such as ability damage from poison on your blade or falling unconscious when reduced to fewer than 0 hit points

Each enemy rolls a separate modified level check to oppose your Intimidate check, but the skill check otherwise works as normal

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As a swift action, you can make an Open Lock check with a —10 penalty by tapping a lock with a hard, blunt object such as the pommel of a weapon. You don't take any additional penalty for making the check without thieves' tools.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can use this trick any number of times per day until you fail an Open Lock check made in this way. After a failure, you can't use Opening Tap again until after you have rested for 8 hours

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If your sneak attack hits, your first attack against that creature on your next turn is also considered a sneak attack even if it wouldn't normally qualify. Using this feat reduces your first sneak attack's damage by 4d6. The resulting second sneak attack deals its full extra damage.

Your ally must be within 30 feet of you and able to see or hear you to benefit from this effect

Poison Expert
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

[General]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Your skill at crafting and delivering toxins has made you a more deadly poisoner.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Craft (poisonmaking) 4 ranks, Poison use,

Required for
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Poison Master(CS) ,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Choose a type of poison (contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury). The DC to resist both the initial and secondary damage of poisons of this type that you create and use increases by 1.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This feat has no effect on poisons used by other creatures, even if you craft those poisons. It also has no effect on natural poisons (those exuded from a creature's body).

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effect does not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of poison

Poison Master
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

[General]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">The toxins you create and use are particularly virulent.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Poison Expert(CS) , Craft (poisonmaking) 8 ranks, Poison use,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Choose a type of poison (contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury) for which you have selected the Poison Expert feat. The initial and secondary damage dealt by poisons of this type that you create and use increases by 1 point per die of damage (or by 1 point, if it deals a fixed amount of damage). For example, lich dust used by a character with Poison Master (ingested) would deal initial damage of 2d6+2 Str and secondary damage of 1d6+1 Con plus 1d6+1 Str. If a poison doesn't deal damage, this feat has no effect.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This feat has no effect on poisons used by other creatures, even if you craft those poisons. It also has no effect on natural poisons (those exuded from a creature's body).

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effect does not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different type of poison for which you have selected Poison Expert

Psithief
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

[General]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can drain psychic energy and use it against others.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can use your steal spell ability to siphon psionic energy instead of spell energy. Instead of stealing a spell, you can choose to steal a number of power points equal twice to the maximum level of spell you can steal minus 1 (up to a maximum value equal to the manifester level of the creature struck). For example, a 4th-level spellthief/1st-level psychic warrior could steal up to 3 power points; if he used this ability against a 2nd-level psion he could steal only 2 power points, since that is the target's manifester level. You can use the stolen power points only to manifest a psionic power you already know. You must use these power points within 1 hour of stealing them; otherwise, the extra psionic energy fades harmlessly away. This feat otherwise follows the rules for the steal spell class feature (Complete Adventurer 16). In addition, Knowledge (psionics) and Psicraft are spellthief class skills for you. These skills appear on page 38 of Expanded Psionics Handbook

Psychic Luck
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can expend one luck reroll as a swift action to reroll the damage dealt by a psionic power you have just manifested. You can expend two luck rerolls as a swift action to reroll a manifester level check. You gain one luck reroll per day

Quick Escape

[Manipulation, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">In the blink of an eye, you can escape nearly any tight spot.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Escape Artist 12 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This trick has two options, either of which can be used once per encounter.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can make an Escape Artist check to escape from a grapple or pin as a swift action. You can use this trick even if you have already used a standard action on your current turn to attempt the same escape.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Alternatively, you can make any Escape Artist check that would normally require a full-round action as a move action. You can't use this option more than once per day against the same kind of restraint

Quick Swimmer
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 88)

[Movement, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can push yourself to swim faster.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Swim 5 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you succeed on a Swim check to move at least 10 feet, you can move an extra 10 feet as part of that action

Savvy Rogue
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

[General]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You have mastered one or more of your rogue special abilities.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Rogue level 10,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Based on the rogue special abilities you have (PH 50), you gain one or more additional special benefits as described below. You gain the benefits for all the special abilities you have, even those you gain after selecting this feat. Crippling Strike: You can deal Strength damage even to a target that is immune to extra damage from sneak attacks. Defensive Roll: You can use this ability three times per day, rather than once per day. Improved Evasion: You gain a +2 competence bonus on Reflex saves. Opportunist: You can use the opportunist ability as many times per round as you can make attacks of opportunity, but no more than once per creature per round. Each use of the opportunist ability counts as an attack of opportunity. Skill Mastery: When taking 10 with a skill to which you have assigned skill mastery, you can treat the die roll as a 12 instead of as a 10. (In effect, you're "taking 12.") Slippery Mind: You gain a +2 competence bonus on the extra save granted by slippery mind.

Second Impression
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 88)

[Interaction, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can convince someone of your false identity even after your disguise fails.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Bluff 5 ranks, Disguise 5 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If an observer sees through your disguise with a successful Spot check, you can (as an immediate action) attempt a Bluff check to convince him that he's mistaken. Use the observer's Spot check result as the DC for your Bluff check; if you succeed, the observer ignores the evidence of his own senses in favor of what your disguise attempts to show.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You must be aware of the observer's discovery in order to use this trick; for example, you can't use it against someone viewing you secretly, nor can you use it against someone who sees through your disguise but keeps that information secret. When in doubt, the DM should allow a character to use this trick if she has any reason to fear that her cover has been blown.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can use this trick only once per day, but its effect extends to all viewers within 30 feet of you. For example, you could attempt it against an entire patrol of guards confronting you just as effectively as against a single person.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">This trick doesn't let you maintain a disguise that has been defeated by other means; for example, if your disguise self spell is penetrated by a true seeing spell, Second Impression won't help

Shrouded Dance
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

[Manipulation, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can seem to be where you aren't.

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As a move action, you can attempt a DC 20 Hide check. If you succeed, you have concealment until the start of your next turn

Slipping Past
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

[Movement, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can slip through a tight space without breaking stride.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Escape Artist 5 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As a swift action, you can ignore the additional movement movement cost and penalty on attack rolls and to AC when squeezing through a narrow space (PH 148). The benefit lasts until the start of your next turn

[Luck]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Your luck helps you find the right place to move to.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">

Benefit

Social Recovery
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

[Interaction, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can talk your way out of a problem you talked yourself into.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Bluff 8 ranks, Diplomacy 5 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If your Diplomacy check to influence an NPC's attitude fails, you can spend another full round talking to the NPC, then make a Bluff check with a —10 penalty. Use the result of this check in place of the Diplomacy check result, except that it can't improve the NPC's attitude by more than one step.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Once you use this skill trick (successfully or not), you cannot use it against the same target again for 24 hours

Sound of Silence
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 80)

[Bardic]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can channel the power of your bardic music to deafen your foes.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Perform 9 ranks, Bardic music,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As a standard action, you can expend two daily uses of your bardic music ability to deafen a single target for 3 rounds. A successful Will save (using your Perform check result as the DC) negates the effect. The target must be within 30 feet of you and be able to hear you.

Speedy Ascent
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you succeed on a Climb check to move at least 10 feet, you can move an extra 10 feet as part of that action

Spot the Weak Point
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

[Mental, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Your keen eyes allow you to place attacks where they'll do the most good.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Spot 12 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">As a standard action, you can attempt a Spot check to find a weakness in your opponent's defenses. The DC of this check equals the opponent's AC. If the check succeeds, your next attack against that opponent (which must be made no later than your next turn) is treated as a touch attack.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If you use a ranged weapon to deliver the attack, your opponent must be within 30 feet of you in order for you to benefit from the trick.

Sudden Draw
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 89)

[Manipulation, Skill Trick]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">You can quickly draw a hidden weapon to make a deadly strike.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Quick Draw (PH) , Sleight of Hand 8 ranks,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">If an opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from you, you can draw a weapon that you have successfully concealed using Sleight of Hand (PH 81) as an immediate action to deliver the attack of opportunity with that weapon. That opponent is treated as flat-footed against the attack with the concealed weapon

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Skirmish +1d6/+1 AC, Sneak attack +1d6,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your rogue and scout levels stack for the purpose of determining the extra damage and bonus to Armor Class granted when skirmishing. For example, a 4th-level scout/7th-level rogue would deal an extra 3d6 points of damage and gain a +3 competence bonus to AC when skirmishing, as if she were an 11th-level scout. In addition, you can qualify for ambush feats (see page 71) as if your sneak attack bonus damage were the sum of your skirmish damage and sneak attack bonus damage. You cannot sacrifice skirmish extra damage to use those feats, however.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">A scout can select Swift Ambusher as one of her scout bonus feats (Complete Adventurer 13)

For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would deal an extra 2d6 points of damage and gain a +1 competence bonus to AC when skirmishing, as if she were a 5th-level scout. Your ranger and scout levels also stack for the purpose of determining when you select additional favored enemies, as well as the total bonus granted against your favored enemies. For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would have two favored enemies and could allocate an extra +2 bonus against one of those favored enemies, as if she were a 5th-level ranger. In addition, your skirmish extra damage applies against any creature you have selected as a favored enemy, even if it is normally immune to extra damage from critical hits or skirmish attacks.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">A scout can select Swift Hunter as one of her scout bonus feats (Complete Adventurer 13)

In addition, once per day, whenever you have at least 1 hit point remaining and would be dealt enough damage to kill you, you can expend one luck reroll as an immediate action to take only enough damage to reduce you to -9 hit points.

[Luck]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Your deity smiles upon you.

Prerequisite

Throat Punch
( Complete Scoundrel, p. 81)

[Ambush]

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">By making a precise punch to the throat, you can render a target unable to speak effectively.

Prerequisite
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;">Improved Unarmed Strike (PH), sneak attack +3d6,

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">Your successful sneak attack delivered with an unarmed strike temporarily hinders the target's ability to speak. For the next 3 rounds, the target takes a -5 penalty on any skill check requiring speech and has a 50% chance of failure when casting a spell with a verbal component or activating a magic item with a command word. Multiple uses of this feat don't increase the duration beyond 3 rounds. Using this feat reduces your sneak attack damage by 2d6.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You must be able to reach your foe's neck to use this feat
