Insanity Feats
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/506/chiriua9wi8.jpg
Insanity feats can be taken when using the Sanity (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/campaigns/sanity.htm) system. For each feat with the descriptor the character takes, their minds move even closer to the brink of madness, and while the abilities granted by them may be impressive, there's always a risk.
