Background- The Fighter. A glorious concept of a class the archetypal warrior...that just gets bonus feats. People have tried to retool the Fighter over and over and over, with not everyone being satisfied. However, few have thought of changing the feats a fighter gets. As such, I've decided to make some new Fighter feats, with a few from a previous thread reposted, and some existing ones retooled. Please enjoy.

Shield Warrior[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Proficiency with Shields, Fighter level 2nd
Benefits: You may reduce the penalty for attacks made while fighting defensively while wielding a shield by 1 + 1 for each two Fighter feats you have. You also gain an additional +1 bonus to AC while fighting defensively wielding a shield.
Improved Shield Warrior[Fighter]

Benefits: You now know how to fight better while protecting yourself. While wielding a shield and fighting defensively, you gain a bonus to attacks equal to 1 + 1/6 the number of Fighter feats you have. Also, you may attack once every two turns while taking the Total Defense action, and may apply half the bonus to AC that Shield Warrior gives when fighting defensively with a shield.
Meat Shield[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Fighter level 1st
Benefit: You gain an additional 2 hit points per Fighter feat you have, including this one and ones you take in the future.
Superior Fist[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Fighter level 1st
Benefit: You are treated as being armed even when wielding no weapons. Your unarmed attacks may now deal lethal or nonlethal damage at your option, and now deals 1d6 damage.
Special: This feat counts as Improved Unarmed Strike for the purpose of meeting feat and prestige class prerequisites.
Grand Strike[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Fighter Level 2, one Fighter Bonus Feat
Benefit: You learn to use your expertise in arms to further benefit your attacks. When making a non-magical melee attack, you add a number of dice to the weapon equal to 1/2 the number of fighter bonus feats you have. This may, at no time, add more additional dice than 1/2 your level. (ex1. A Fighter 2 has 2 Fighter Bonus feats and attacks with a Longspear(1d8), so he adds 2 Fighter Bonus feats/2 = 1 dice to his attack, making the attack deal 2d8 damage. ex2. A Fighter 6 with 4 Fighter Bonus feats attacks with a dagger(1d4), so he adds 4 Fighter Bonus feats/2 = 2 dice to the attack, dealing 3d4 damage with the attack). This feat's benefit applies only to your primary weapon.
Grand Twin Strike[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Grand Strike, Two Weapon Fighting, 4th level
Benefit: When wielding two weapons, you may grant your off-hand weapon an additional amount of dice to attacks equal to 1/2 the dice it would be entitled to if it were being used as a primary weapon.
Grand Shot[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Fighter Level 2, one Fighter Bonus Feat
Benefit: You learn to use your expertise in arms to further benefit your attacks. When making a non-magical ranged melee attack, you add a number of dice to the weapon equal to 1/2 the number of fighter bonus feats you have. This may, at no time, add more additional dice than 1/2 your level.
Favored Weapon Strike[Fighter]
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Grand Strike(if melee) or Grand Shot(if ranged), 12th level
Benefit: Choose one weapon that you have the Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, and Greater Weapon Focus for. When using the effects of Grand Shot or Grand Strike(as appropriate for weapon type), you may add an additional amount of dice equal to your Strength modifier, regardless of whether this would exceed Grand Shot or Grand Strike's limit of dice that could be added. If you also have or later gain Greater Weapon Specialization for this weapon, you may add an additional die of damage.
Special: This may be selected multiple times, selecting a new weapon each time, provided you somehow have the appropriate feats for that type of weapon.
Note: For the purpose of counting [Fighter] feats, any feat that may be selected as a Fighter Bonus feat is considered to be a [Fighter] feat
Note: Martial Study and Stance are now changed to be able to be selected a number of times equal to 3 + 1/4 the number of Fighter feats you have.
I would also recommend giving the Fighter Fighter feats at every level, or giving them this class feature:
Fighting Spirit: You treat your Fighter level as the number of [Fighter] feats you have. However, you do not count Fighter feats selected through this class as Fighter feats for the purpose of counting the number of Fighter feats you have, only counting [Fighter] feats gained from other classes or gained from normal feat selection.
That will be all for now. Please PEACH and comment.
