Akasha Expanded: Akashic Feats (Patreon)

New Feats

Akashic Aura (Akashic)

You have learned to invest your essence into the auras caused by your faith, further empowering them and improving their radius.

Prerequisites: Any aura granted as a paladin or antipaladin class feature.

Benefits: You may invest essence in this feat. For each point of essence invested, the radius of your auras granted by paladin or antipaladin class features increase by 5 feet.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Akashic Fury (Akashic, Combat)

Your essence burns so brightly within you that when your anger flares it bursts forth in a burning light that envelopes you.

Prerequisites: Bloodrage or rage class features.

Benefits: You can invest essence in this feat. While you are raging, creatures who end their turns adjacent to you take 1d10 points of akashic damage per point of essence invested in this feat. A successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ your character level + your Constitution modifier + the essence invested in this feat) halves this damage. This damage comes from a pulse of akashic power, ignoring any of the creature's hardness, damage reduction, or resistances.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Duelist’s Bind (Akashic, Combat)

Empowering yourself with essence allows you to further hone the skills brought to from extensive training.

Prerequisites: Weapon Training class feature

Benefits: You can invest essence in this feat. For each point of essence invested, increase the bonuses provided by your weapon training feature by 1.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Chakra Focus

You have further focused the power of one of your chakras, allowing any veil shaped within it to be further empowered.

Prerequisites: Ability to bind veils to a chakra slot, veilweaving modifier +3.

Benefits: When you select this feat, choose one of your chakra slots with which you can bind veils to. All veils you shape that could be shaped to that chakra (even if they are shaped in another chakra) gain a +1 bonus to their saving throw DCs. This does not stack with similar feats, such as Ability Focus, Focused Veil or Set Focus.

Special: This feat can be selected multiple times, once for each chakra slot you can bind veils to. A single veil can benefit from this feat multiple times, assuming it can be shaped to multiple chakras which are being enhanced using this feat.

Essence-bound Channel (Akashic)

Infusing your channelled divinity with the powers of akasha amplifies your connection to your deity and empowers the energies you call forth.

Prerequisites: Ability to channel energy.

Benefits: You can invest essence in this feat. Whenever you channel positive or negative energy, increase the number of dice of healed or damage dealt by +1d6 per point of essence invested in this feat.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Essence Forged Armaments (Akashic)

Your essence can be used to further empower your special armaments, increasing the damage you deal with them.

Prerequisites: Monk’s unarmed strike class feature, or warpriest’s sacred weapon class feature, or similar ability.

Benefits: You can invest essence into this feat. When you select this feat, choose a single class feature that scales with class level and replaces the damage dice of a type of attack (such as the monk’s unarmed strike, or the warpriest’s sacred weapon). For each point of essence invested in this feat, treat your level in that class as 1 higher when determining the damage of that class feature.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Focused Veil

You have learned to further focus your akashic powers into a single veil, hardening its essence and empowering its effects.

Prerequisites: Ability to shape at least 1 veil, veilweaving modifier +3.

Benefits: When you shape your veils for the day, choose a single veil you shape. Double that veils hardness, and the saving throw DC of any of its effects are increased by +2. This does not stack with similar feats, such as Ability Focus, Chakra Focus or Set Focus.

Special: This feat can be selected multiple times. You cannot apply its effects to a single veil more than once.

Registered Foe (Akashic, Combat)

You have learned to tap into your memories stored within the akashic record and temporarily alter them, allowing you to change your favored foe for a brief period of time.

Prerequisites: Favored Enemy class feature

Benefits: As a swift action you may bind a point of essence to this feat, allowing you to change one of your favored enemies to a new creature type for 10 minutes per ranger level. If the chosen creature type is already one of your favored enemies, you may swap it with the favored enemy type you wish to replace for the duration, allowing you to utilize your higher bonuses on the selected type and your lower bonuses with the other. You may only bind a maximum number of essence to this feat equal to your essence capacity.

You gain 1 point of essence.

Set Focus

You have attuned your essence to a specific subset of veils, empowering their abilities.

Prerequisites: Ability to shape at least 1 veil, veilweaving modifier +3.

Benefits: When you select this feat, choose a single veil set (such as the Angelic Armaments set, or the Dryad’s Verdancy set). The saving throw DC of all veils you shape from that set are increased by +1. When you shape a veil from your chosen set, it gains a +3 bonus to its hardness for each other veil shaped from the set. For example: If you have three veils shaped from the Dryad’s Verdancy set, each would have their hardness increased by 6. This feat does not stack with similar feats, such as Ability Focus, Chakra Focus, or Focused Veil.

Special: This feat can be selected multiple times, choosing a new veil set each time it is selected. If a veil you shape belongs to multiple sets you have selected using this veil, it only gains a +1 bonus to its DC, but the hardness increases stack.

Studied Veilweaving

Your studies have allowed you to improve your veilweaving to make up for your training in another profession.

Prerequisites: Veilweaving level 1, veilweaving modifier of +3.

Benefits: Add +4 to your veilweaving level, to a maximum of your hit dice. This grants you no other benefits related to veilweaving, such as veils shaped, chakra binds, essence, or essence capacity.

Veil-bound Detection (Akashic)

Using your essence you can better manipulate your senses, allowing you to prenaturally sense danger to detect hidden traps and foes.

Prerequisites: Con 13 or veilweaving level 1, Wisdom 13 or veilweaving modifier +1.

Benefits: This feat can be invested with essence. As long as it is invested with at least 1 point of essence, you can disable magical traps using the Disable Device skill. For each point of essence invested in this feat, gain a +1 insight bonus on Perception check to spot hidden creatures and to find traps, on Disable Device attempts, and to AC and Reflex saves against traps.

You gain 1 point of essence.

New Traits

Apprentice Veilweaver (Magic Trait)

You were raised amongst veilweavers, taught the arts and sciences of akasha from a young age, allowing you to better manipulate their powers despite your choice of profession.

Benefit: Add +2 to your veilweaving level, to a maximum of your hit dice. This grants you no other benefits related to veilweaving, such as veils shaped, chakra binds, essence, or essence capacity.
