Having lots of options are fun but optimization rewards specialization. So I thought of a way to let you vary your options with sucking.
Tactician
Prerequisite: Any two feats that grant or augment different actions of the same action category and are not prerequisites of each other. The action categories are full round action, standard action, move action, swift action, immediate action and attack. For the purpose of this feat a full round action also matches a standard action, move action or attack. Standard action also matches attack. Immediate action also matches swift action. Other actions such as free actions or non-actions are not a valid categories for this feat.
For example improved trip augments an attack, so it counts as an attack feat for Tactician. Spring attack is a standard action, so it counts as a standard action feat for Tactician. Combat expertise augments an attack, so it also counts as an attack feat for Tactician. But it may not be used together with improved trip to qualify for Tactician because it is a prerequisite of improved trip. Likewise it could not be used together with weapon focus to qualify for Tactician because both could be applied to the same attack. Improved trip and improved disarm however could work together as prerequisites because they match and cannot be applied to the same action.
Benefit: Gain two more feats that grant or augment different actions of the same action category which are not prerequisites of each other, not including Tactician. You must still meet their prerequisites. Each of the four feats must match the other 3 using the above criteria for action type. So you could not have full round action, standard action and move action because even though all the actions match full round action, the standard action and move action to not match each other. Likewise no two may be usable simultaneously on the same action.
Special: A fighter may select Tactician as a bonus feat.
You may take this feat multiple times. You may apply it independently to a new set of 4 feats (2 prerequisite plus 2 gained) that are not part of another Tactician feat. Or you may increase the size of an existing set provided that all feats involved still match each other. The first time you increase the size of the set you add 3 more feats, then 5 more, then 9 more. Then 9 more each time after that.
The instant the words "dark chaos" leave your mouth or get written down by you, you take damage from a flying DMG.
