Feats
Feats have been reworked a lot. There are a lot of changed feats, and several new feats. I put a lot of work, thought, and number crunching into these.
New Feats
Advanced Shield Training [Fighter Bonus Feat, General]
Prerequisite: Proficiency with shields
Benefit: Light and heavy shields add their shield bonus to your reflex save. Heavy and tower shields also grant you evasion. As an immediate action, you may block an incoming attack with your shield. Roll a d20 roll modified by your highest base attack bonus and any other attack modifiers you have. Use that result for your AC and touch AC against that single, specific attack from your opponent.
Special: Shields you do not have proficiency with do not gain any benefits from this feat.
Elven Archery [General]
Prerequisite: Dead Eye, Elf, Base attack bonus +6
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls made with ranged weapons. In addition, increase the bonus damage from the Dead Eye feat to 1.5 times your Dexterity modifier.
Incredible Resistance [General]
Prerequisite: Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, or Iron Will
Benefit: When you take this feat select one of your saves you are receiving bonuses on from Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, or Iron Will. You gain a +2 bonus to that save and once per day may reroll that save.
Shield Tactics [Fighter Bonus Feat, Tactical]
Prerequisite: Advanced Shield Training, Combat Expertise, Base attack bonus +6
Benefit: This feat allows the use of three special maneuvers you can use with a shield:
Shield Ally: As an immediate action, you may grant any adjacent ally a shield bonus to AC equal to that provided by your shield, including its enhancement bonus. While using this ability you do not benefit from your shield's shield bonus. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn or until you and your ally are no longer adjacent.
Shielded Interception: When an ally is charged and the charge path is within 5 feet of you, you may take a 5 foot step as an immediate action if you are wielding a Heavy or Tower shield. The charging enemy now counts as charging you and you take a -2 penalty to AC until the beginning of your next turn.
Shielded Defense: When using the Combat Expertise feat, any bonus you add to your Armor Class from Combat Expertise is also added to your Reflex saves.
Stunning Shield Bash [Fighter Bonus Feat, General]
Prerequisite: Advanced Shield Training, Str 13
Benefit: Your shield bashes are so powerful they cause some opponents to become disoriented. As a standard action you may perform a special shield bash with any shield you have proficiency with. When you shield bash the target must make a fort save DC 10 + your base attack bonus + your shield bonus or become dazed for one round.
Supreme Shield Bash [Fighter Bonus Feat, General]
Prerequisite: Stunning Shield Bash, Two-weapon Fighting, Base attack bonus +3
Benefit: You may use the stunning shield bash feat with the full attack action. Also you treat shields as light weapons for the purposes of two-weapon fighting.
Edited Feats
Acrobatic [General]
Prerequisite: A total of two ranks in Jump and Tumble.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Jump checks and Tumble checks and those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
You may treat falls as though they were ten feet shorter per two ranks you have in Tumble for purposes of taking damage.
When jumping, you do not double the DC if you don't have a 20' running start. If you*do*take a running start, increase the distance of the jump by 50%. For example, normally, with a running start, a DC 20 horizontal jump clears 20'. With this feat, it would clear 30'.
When you have 8 ranks in Jump, you gain a flight with a speed equal to your base speed at average maneuverability for one round. You must start your flight from a surface capable of supporting your weight. You may use this ability as many times as you want, but only one round at a time, starting from a proper surface. For every two ranks beyond your 8th, you increase the duration of your flight by one round.
If you have 8 ranks in Tumble, you may gain the benefits of the Air Walk spell as an extraordinary ability for one round, providing you start your movement from a surface that can support your weight. For every two ranks you have in Tumble beyond the 8th, you may increase this duration by one round. You may use this ability as many times as you want, but only one round at a time, starting from a proper surface.
If you have at least 18 ranks in both Jump and Tumble, you gain a fly speed equal to your land speed with good maneuverability.
If you have at least 23 ranks in both Jump and Tumble, you gain a fly speed equal to your land speed with perfect maneuverability.
Active Shield Defense [Fighter Bonus Feat, General]
Prerequisite: Shield Specialization
Benefit: When using the total defense action and wielding a shield, you still threaten the area around you as normal and may make attacks of opportunity with a -4 penalty. Also you apply your shield bonus on checks or rolls to resist bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, or trip attempts against you. This bonus applies even when not using the total defense action.
Agile [General]
Prerequisite: A total of two ranks in Balance and Escape Artist.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Balance checks and Escape Artist checks and those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
As a standard action, you may gain the benefits of Freedom of Movement until the end of your turn. In order to move through any impediment, you must succeed on a Balance or Escape Artist check with a DC set at the highest level effect you're attempting to move through. For example, if you are both in a Web and Black Tentacles spell, use the DC of the Black Tentacles spell to see if you can escape. For effects that do not have a set DC (such as water), assume the DC is 15. The DM can modify this DC based on if he thinks the effect is easier or harder to escape or move through, although they should typically be between 10 and 20.
Alertness [General]
Prerequisite: A total of two ranks in Listen and Spot.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Listen checks and Spot checks and those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
You gain blindsense with a five-foot radius for every two ranks you have between the total of Listen and Spot.
Special: The master of a familiar gains the benefit of the Alertness feat whenever the familiar is within arm’s reach.
Animal Affinity [General]
Prerequisite: A total of two ranks in Handle Animal and Ride.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Handle Animal checks and Ride checks and those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
You may speak with animals and magical beasts as if you shared a language. This does not modify the creature’s initial attitude toward you, but friendly and helpful creatures will generally answer questions to the best of their knowledge and intelligence.
You may attempt to improve the attitude of animals and magical beasts to "friendly" as an extraordinary ability if you make a Handle Animal check opposed by either the creature's Sense Motive or d20 + the creature's Hit Dice + its Wisdom modifier. Any creature that wins the check cannot be affected again for 24 hours and its attitude shifts one step closer to hostile. You may only affect a creature if its Intelligence score is lower than three.
Athletic [General]
Prerequisite: A total of two ranks in Climb and Swim.
Benef*: You get a +2 bonus on all Climb checks and Swim checks and those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
* * You gain a climb speed and a swim speed equal to half your base land speed. You may use the run option while swimming.*
* * If you have at least 8 ranks in Climb, your climb speed increases to your base land speed.
* * If you have at least 8 ranks in Swim, your swim speed increases to your base land speed, and you can breath under water.
* * If you already have a climb or swim speed, that speed increases by ten feet.
* * Your base land speed increases by five feet for every five ranks you have in total between Climb and Swim. This speed boost is used when calculating your climb and swim speed from your base land speed in this feat.
Celestial Sorcerer Heritage [Heritage]

Diehard [Fighter Bonus Feat]
Prerequisite: Con 13

Also, you may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming*fatigued.
When reduced to between -1 and -9 hit points, you automatically become*stable. You don’t have to roll*d%*to see if you lose 1 hit point each round.
When reduced to negative hit points, you may choose to act as if you were*disabled, rather than*dying. You must make this decision as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points (even if it isn’t your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you immediately fall*unconscious.
When using this feat, you can take either a single move or*standard action*each turn, but not both, and you cannot take a full round action. You can take a*move action*without further injuring yourself, but if you perform any standard action (or any other action deemed as strenuous, including some*free actions,*swift actions, or*immediate actions, such as casting a*quickened spell) you take 1 point of damage after completing the act. If you reach -10 hit points, you immediately die.
Diligent [General]
Prerequisite:*A total of two ranks in Appraise and Knowledge.
Benefit:*You get a +2 bonus on all Appraise checks and one Knowledge check of your choice. Those skills are considered class skills for you each level.
* * If you study an item for at least a minute, you can determine if it is magical. If it is, you may also learn the properties it as though you cast Identify. This is an extraordinary ability.
* * Any time you sense an illusion (see, hear, touch, etc), you make an Appraise check as a free action to disbelieve the illusion. The DC is the normal DC of the effect plus the spell level of the effect. For example, a Major Image (3rd level spell) cast by a 6th level caster with an Int of 18 would have a DC of 20 (10 + 3 + 3 + 4). This is in addition to the save you get for interacting with it. This includes illusions that normally hide things from your senses, such as Invisibility. This will likely happen before the player is aware of the illusion, so the DM may have to make the check or ask the player to make it.
Dodge [General]
Benefit: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC. You gain an additional +1 to AC for each 20 feet you move during your turn until the start of your next turn. You also get a +4 dodge bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity when you move out of or within a threatened area.

If the person succeeds on their Will save, they cannot be affected by this ability again for 24 hours, and their attitude shifts one step closer to hostile.
* * If you have at least 8 ranks in Gather Information, you can attempt to detect hostile intent (not necessarily against you). You may either look for intent in a single person within 60' or in all people within 60'. To succeed, you must succeed at a Gather Information check opposed by the person's Bluff check. If checking against a group, use the lowest Bluff score among all hostile creatures in the area. Success indicates whether or not there is hostile intent, but not at whom the intent is directed, or even who has the intent if checking more than one person. For purposes of this ability, hostile intent includes any deliberate attempts or desires to bring harm to someone (physically, financially, politically, etc), but does not include things like grudges or animosity if the person doesn't plan to act on those feelings. If your check exceeds theirs by ten or more points, you learn the specifics about who has the hostile intent, to whom they are hostile, and what they are planning to do.
* * If you have at least 13 ranks in Gather Information, you can attempt to detect alignments as the Detect Chaos/Evil/Good/Law spells at will, as an extraordinary ability.
