Feats represent the extraordinary abilities of a legendary hero. A warrior who can strike down all the foes around him at once, a wizard who can cast his spells without making a sound, or a rogue whose reflexes are just fast enough to give him an unbeatable edge -- all of these characters benefit from feats.
Choosing a combination of feats that make for an effective character is essential in Incursion. Some feats merely give a singular perk to the character that chooses them, while others are the prerequisites to more advanced feats that will become available only when the character has mastered the basics. A series of feats linked to each other by shared prerequisites, is called a feat tree. Warriors receive more bonus feats than any other character type in the game, and thus will have the opportunity to master several feat trees over the course of play. Any character, however, should choose feats with an eye not only to what they give him now, but what doors they will open later.
The feats in Incursion, and the prerequisites needed to obtain them, are listed below.

* Karmic Strike (Wis 21+, BAB 12+, 6+ Intuitive feats)
THE 'COMMANDING FIGHTER' TREE
=============================
Some warlords and heroes of legend have a force of personality so great that it draws allies to their side even as it strikes fear into their enemies -- they are the commanding fighters. This feat tree will contain feats that allow a character to improve the combat potential of NPC allies in a fight, frighten weak or craven adversaries, drive opponents backward physically through a combination of brutal strikes and intimidation and even to strike creatures with weapons that could not normally affect them, inflicting pure psychic trauma.

* Point Blank Shot
Defensive Shot
Precise Shot
* Rapid Shot (Far Shot -or- Point Blank Shot)
* Aimed Shot (Far Shot -or- Point Blank Shot)
THE 'UNARMED FIGHTER' TREE
==========================
Most of these feats are designed with the Monk in mind, though a Warrior can certainly also make an effective martial artist character. Note that the class ability of Monks, Unarmed Strike, is superior to the Martial Mastery feat, and thus supercedes it. Monks cannot take Martial Mastery, and do not need to have it in order to advance further in the unarmed fighter tree.
* Martial Mastery
Fists of Iron (Brawl BAB +2)
Lightning Fists (Dex 13+)
Chi Strike (Unarmed Strike, Find Weakness +7, Brawl BAB +8

THE 'WEAPON EXPERT' TREE
========================
These feats govern skill with a specific weapon, chosen when the feat is selected. They can all be bought multiple times, each time being to govern a different weapon. Weapon Focus is available to anyone, but after this the feats have a special prerequisite of the Weapon Skill class feature, effectively limiting them to characters with a certain number of levels in the Warrior class.
* Weapon Focus
Weapon Specialist (Warrior Level 4+)
Weapon Mastery (Warrior Level 7+)

The number of potion formulas a character knows is equal to the sum of her Knowledge (Magic) and Alchemy skills. Additionally, knowing a given spell grants the ability to brew potions that have a very similar effect to it -- for example, being able to cast cure light wounds would allow a character to brew Potions of Healing, and knowing scorcher would allow a character to brew Potions of Fire Breath. These formulas are in addition to any the character may have because of her skill ratings.
Broad Counterspell
Prerequisite: Spellcraft >= +8, Caster Level >= 1.

OR: Martial Mastery, Master Grapple, Brawl BAB >= 5.
Benefit: For every turn a character with this feat maintains a grapple on a living humanoid with less than half their hit points, that creature must make a Fortitude save against the grappler's stunning fist DC or be rendered unconscious for an extended period.

Combat Casting {CO}
Prerequisite: Caster Level >= 1.
Benefit: When you fail the percentile chance to cast a spell, or your spell is disrupted due to damage in combat, the spellcasting attempt costs you only 15 phases, as opposed to the 30 phases it would cost any other character.

Benefit: You have mastered the Dance of Tukima, an exotic style of fighting that blends swordplay with dancing to beguile and disorient foes.

While dancing, you add your Charisma bonus to attack rolls, and half of your Perform skill rating to damage, provided that you are wielding a Light piercing or slashing weapon (or weapons).

Deflect Arrows [Warrior]
Prerequisite: DEX >= 13, WIS >= 13, Blind Fight.

Benefit: You are especially adept at making attacks of opportunity, and recieve a +4 bonus to the attack roll on all such attacks.

The Noble Aegis ability protects against the effects of this feat.
