So, PF actually has a lot of obscure little feats that are fun and had so much potential, but some stupid rule or something made them useless. Or maybe they just never caught the eye of the community. I'm going to be going through the PFSRD's feat sections to see what catches my eye. Feel free to share your opinions on some feats that could be included.
Ancestral Scorn (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/ancestral-scorn): Ruined by being Tiefling only, as well as the target restriction
Arcane School Spirit (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/arcane-school-spirit-general): Again, why does Paizo feel the need to race restrict everything? This one is so cool, but the racial restriction, along with the action cost, absolutely murder it in a back alley.
Battle Singer (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/battle-singer-goblin):If this wasn't Goblin only, it would literally be like the best bard feat ever written. I'm not even sure I'm exaggerating there.
Big Game Hunter (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/local-feats/big-game-hunter-local): Free Weapon Focus and Weapon Spec vs Large+ enemies? For a Giantslayer or monster hunter game where you just want bigger numbers, this is pretty handy.
Bloatmage Initiate (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/bloodmage-initiate): Hey guys, look, another broken toy for casters.
Blood Ties (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/blood-ties-general): WHY IS THIS GNOME ONLY?
Branded for Retribution (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/branded-for-retribution): So, this is expensive to use, costing 3 rounds of Bane. But if you have a volley heavy group (Say an archer paladin and an unchained monk), they can rack up some serious damage in that one round. And burst IS the name of the game in PF.
Charnel Soldiers (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/charnel-soldiers): This is bad, but so cool. Especially since you can give them to mindless undead. Now you have skeletons doing the teamwork thing.
Companion Figurine (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/companion-figurine): Again, not very good, but this feels like a feat you could build a character around.
Coordinated Blast (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/coordinated-blast-teamwork): My big thing here is that it requires racial SLAs. Humans and Elves can never get the hang of not frying their friends.
Deadly Dealer (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/deadly-dealer): Another one for the list of "cool idea, absolutely garbage execution"
Deceptive Exchange (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/deceptive-exchange): Need to get the McGuffin away from the BadGuy? Here you go. The Special section basically lets you Exploding Pants people.
Didn't see much in E and F, but maybe other people have opinions there. I'll continue this on later days.
