These are most of the general feats I've created over the years. I've tried to clean out any that are in some way tied to one of my systems. There's also a few that are rebuilds of existing crapping PHB feats.

Feats

Aberrant Transfer [Psionic]
You can gain a supernatural ability of a metamorphed aberration form.
Prerequisites: Manifester level 5th.
Benefit: Each time you change your form, such as through the metamorphosis power, you gain one of the new form's supernatural abilities, if it has any. You gain uses equal to the creature into which you metamorph (You are still subject to other restrictions on the use of the ability.) The save DC to resist a supernatural ability gained through Aberrant Transfer (if it is an attack) is 10 + your Cha modifier + 1/2 your Hit Dice. This supernatural ability must come from an aberration.
Normal: You cannot use the supernatural abilities of creatures whose form you assume.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time, you gain one additional supernatural ability. You cannot choose the same ability twice.

Aberration Hunter [Psionic]
You strike with the knowledge of the peculiar vulnerabilities of aberrations.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Int 13.
Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. For your next attack, your weapon is treated as if it had the aberration bane quality. You must decide whether or not to use this feat prior to making an attack. If your attack misses, you still expend your psionic focus.

Anomalous Voice [Psionic]
Your voice is unnatural, twisted and altered by strange changes within your vocal apparatus. The resulting sound is painful to all who hear it.
Prerequisites: Bardic music ability, Perform (Sing) 9 ranks.
Benefit: By expending a single use of your bardic music ability, you may cause a creature within 30 feet of you to save against a DC of 10 + one half your perform ranks + your Charisma or become nauseated for as long as you continue to sing.

Always At Hand
Prerequisites: None
Benefit: The character always has something around that can help with just such a situation. If he spends one round crafting a tool, he can then gain a +2 untyped bonus on his next skill check. The tool then breaks.

Ancient Materials
Skilled in the use of weapons from the past, you are more accustomed to them than to modern weapons.
Prerequisites: BAB +2.
Benefit: Whenever you use a weapon made of stone, bone, wood, or other early materials, you gain a +1 bonus to your attack roll, and a +3 bonus to damage.

Arachnid Heart
Prerequisites: None
Benefit: You have a long-standing bond with spiders and their ilk. If a spider is about to attack you, you may make a Charisma check (DC 10). If the check succeeds, that spider refuses to attack you for 24 hours, unless you or an ally attack it. You also gain a +4 bonus on climb checks.

Artisanal Creation
Prerequisites: Craft 4
Benefit: When crafting an item, you no longer need to make skill checks for mundane or masterwork items, and any mundane or masterwork item you craft grants the user a +1 competence bonus on any rolls using the item. However, the time needed to craft the item is 1 hour longer.

Axethrower
Prerequisites: None
Benefit: When you make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon (axe, spear, javelin, or the like), you may add your Strength bonus instead of your Dexterity bonus to the attack roll. In addition, on your turn, before making any attack rolls, you can choose to subtract a number from all thrown weapon attack rolls and add the same number to all thrown weapon damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attack rolls and the bonus on damage rolls applies until your next turn.

Blood-Spiked Charger
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Str 13, BAB +3, Proficiency with spiked armor and spiked shields
Benefit: You throw yourself into the fray, using your spiked armor and spiked shield to tear your opponents to pieces.
Spiked Avalanche: When charging while wearing spiked armor and carrying either a spiked shield or nothing in your hands, you can throw yourself into the air, transforming into a deadly, spiked projectile. A successful attack at the end of the charge with either your spiked shield or your spiked armor deals extra damage equal to twice your Strength bonus. You can attack with both your spiked armor and a spiked shield on this charge, each one benefiting from the Strength bonus, but you take a -2 penalty on each attack. This does not incur any penalties for two weapon fighting.
Spiked Rebuke: When you are carrying a spiked shield, you can lash out at your foes with your shield in response to their attacks. Determine what your AC would be without your spiked shield. If an opponent's attack hits against this lower AC but misses against your actual AC, you may make an attack of opportunity against that foe with your spiked shield.
Spiked Slam: As a standard action when you are wielding a spiked shield, you can opt to make only a single attack at your best base attack bonus. You brace yourself behind your spiked shield, drive yourself forward, and slam into your foe. You enter your foe's space, knocking them backwards five feet. Your attack deals extra damage equal to twice your Strength and an additional 1d6 per size category (small is 1d6, medium 2d6, and so on).

Bow and Blade
You shift seamlessly between fighting with a bow and a blade, shooting an arrow one moment and stabbing the next.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, BAB +1.
Benefit: You can wield a bow with a light weapon in your off hand, without incurring any penalty to ranged combat. You may sheathe and draw the bow and light weapon at the same time as a free action.

Clash of Blades
You lock blades with your opponent, challenging him to a test of strength.
Prerequisites: Strength 14, BAB +2.
Benefit: As a standard action, you lock your blade with that of an enemy you threaten, and neither of you can move or attack this turn. At the end of the round, make an opposed Strength check. The loser is knocked back 5' for every 5 points he lost the check by. This can only be used against any given enemy once per encounter.

Cleave
Prerequisites: BAB +1
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. If your BAB is +6 or better, you can take a 5-foot step between each attack.

Cluttered Throat [Metapsionic]
You can shift the origination point of your vocal powers.
Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. When you do so, you may choose the origination point and direction of the power you manifested. It must have the sonic descriptor. The point of origin may be up to 5 feet per manifester level away from you. Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by two. The power's total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

Consumptive Fetish
Prerequisites: Must have consumed a sentient creature (Intelligence score of 3 or greater) fully, living or dead.
Benefit: You have a taste for the forbidden flesh of the living, eating their bodies, sometimes dead, but often as it squirms in your grasp. Whenever you eat a sentient creature, you gain 1d4 temporary hit points and a +2 bonus to Strength. Additionally, your effective caster level goes up by +1. These benefits last for one hour. If the creature was alive at the beginning of the consumption, the benefits are doubled. It takes one minute to consume a medium sized creature.

Crafty Offense
You flip your weapon from hand to hand as you strike, distracting and unnerving enemies.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Charisma 13, Bluff 5 ranks.
Benefit: During a full attack action, you may feint once as a free action. If you succeed, instead of the normal effect your foe takes a -1 penalty to AC against your next attack for every 2 points by which you succeeded at the opposed skill check. Each time you use this ability against the same foe in the same combat, he gains a cumulative +10 bonus on the sense motive check. (+0 on the first, +10 on the second, +20 on the third, etc.).

Crossbow Expert
Prerequisites: BAB +3, Point Blank Shot, light or heavy crossbow proficiency
Benefit: You are skilled in lining up accurate, deadly shots with your crossbow. Perhaps you add custom-made sights to your weapon, or you have learned to maximize the stability and precision the weapon offers.
Punch Through: When you make a ranged attack with a crossbow, you can instead choose to unleash a single, mighty attack that blasts through multiple opponents. This attack requires a standard action, and your shot takes the form of a 60-foot line. Make a separate attack roll against each creature in the line. If struck, creatures along this line take damage from your shot, including any applicable extra damage (such as from a sneak attack or a flaming weapon).
Melee Archer: You provoke no attacks of opportunity for using a crossbow in melee combat. In addition, you threaten the squares adjacent to you as if your crossbow was a melee weapon.
Crossbow Sniper: You gain a bonus on damage rolls equal to your Dexterity bonus. If you have the skirmish or sneak attack ability, the maximum range at which you can make such attacks increases to 60 feet. In addition, the time required for you to reload your crossbow is reduced to a free action. The reloading change does not apply to a ponderous arbalest.

Custom Fitment
Prerequisites: Craft 6
Benefit: When crafting an item, you design it for a single individual, tweaking it so that it fits them just so. However, this usually makes it more difficult for anyone else to use. A custom fitted item grants the individual it was designed for a +1 competence bonus on any rolls using the item. Anyone else using the item takes a -1 penalty on all rolls using the item.

Deatheater
You have chosen to consume nothing but the rotting flesh of the long dead
Prerequisites: Must have spent a month living on nothing but carrion
Benefit: You become immune to mundane (non-magically caused) diseases. In addition, you gain a temporary +2 bonus to constitution and strength for one hour whenever you consume a pound or more of rotting flesh. You may gain this benefit a maximum of three times per day.

Dodge
Prerequisites: Dex 13
Benefit: During your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. You can select a new opponent on any action. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses and all other benefits of this feat. Also, dodge bonuses (such as this one and a dwarf's racial bonus on dodge attempts against giants) stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses. While fighting defensively, you can attempt to negate a single attack made by the target of your Dodge feat. If this opponent attacks you, use an immediate action to make a d20 roll modified by your highest base attack bonus. The result is used as your normal AC and touch AC against that single, specific attack from your opponent. You cannot use this feat if your Dexterity bonus to AC does not apply against your opponent's attack. At BAB +6, you may designate a second target against whom your dodge bonus applies. In addition, after making a single melee attack, you can use the withdraw action (moving up to twice your speed) as a move action. Once per round, when you make an attack of opportunity, you may take a 5-foot step after you attack. This 5-foot step doesn't count against your limit of one 5-foot step per round or against any movement you take on your turn. You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against charge attacks. If a charging opponent fails to make a successful attack against you, you gain an immediate attack of opportunity. This feat does not grant you more attacks of opportunity than you are normally allowed in a round. At BAB +11, you gain a +1 competence bonus on attack rolls against designated foes. When a melee attack by one of your dodge targets misses you, that attack has a chance to strike another target of your choice that is both adjacent to you and within the attacker's reach. The attacker uses the same attack roll for the redirected attack. You may use this once per round. If there are no other targets adjacent to you and within the attacker's reach, you can't have attacks strike others. At BAB +16, your dodge benefits apply against any enemy you threaten. In addition, you no longer provoke attacks of opportunity for movement from those you threatened at the beginning of your turn.

Dwarven Shield Specialist
Prerequisites: BAB +3, exotic shield proficiency, Improved Shield Bash
Benefit: As a warrior, much of your combat training has focused around the use of your shield as a weapon, relegating your axe to secondary status.
Slam of the Stars: As a standard action or as a charge action, you may make an attack with your shield against an opponent. If you hit, you force the target damaged by this attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Str modifier) in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is dazed for 1 round (until just before your next action).
The Ground Rushes Upward: If you hit an opponent with your shield as part of a charge action or a shield bash, in addition to dealing damage normally, you may make a trip attack without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you lose, the defender does not get to try to trip you in return.
Agile Shield: When making a shield bash and armed strike attack as part of a full attack action, you take a -2 penalty on each attack. These penalties replace the normal ones you incur for fighting with two weapons.

Elemental Gestalt
Prerequisites: BAB +3 or Caster level 3, Energy Affinity
Benefit: You are skilled in mixing together elemental attacks in order to confuse and bewilder your opponents. The elemental energy can be from any source, and you must affect the target with both types in either the same round or on consecutive rounds. DC for all effects is 10 + 1/2 character level + primary attribute modifier for the chosen attack form (Strength or Dexterity for physical attacks, or the appropriate spellcasting attribute).
Acrid Fumes: You strike with acid followed by fire. The flames turn some of the lingering acid into choking, sickening fumes. Any living creature damaged by both elements is nauseated for 1 round. Those who make a successful Fortitude save are sickened for 1 round instead. Treat this as a poison effect for the purpose of save bonuses and immunities.
Ooze Burst: You strike with fire followed by sonic. Any creature struck by both elements spend the following round coughing, and treat the square they are in as affected by fog cloud for one round. In addition they must save or go blind for one round.
Improved Conduction: You strike with cold followed by electricity. The lingering cold more effectively conducts the electricity, temporarily fatiguing creatures. Living creatures damaged by both elements are slowed for 1 round (as the slow spell). Creatures that make successful Fortitude saves are fatigued for 1 round.
Sparking Flames: You strike with fire followed by electricity. The electricity reignites the flames, setting the affected creatures on fire.

Energy Affinity
You favor one specific energy type over all others.
Prerequisite None
Benefit: Choose one type of energy to become your privileged energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. Any time you deal damage of your chosen energy type, you deal an extra 1 point of damage per die.
Special: You can choose this feat multiple times. Each time it applies to a different type of energy.

Fencer's Song
Prerequisites: Perform (Sing) 6, Bardic music ability
Benefit: By expending one of your daily uses of bardic music, you may sing the ballad known as the Fencer's Song. Activating a Fencer's Song is a free action. Once activated, your weapons threat range doubles (this does not stack with other effects), and you gain the ability to ignore any effect or ability that prevents precision damage or critical hits. You cannot use this feat if you are carrying a shield, wearing medium or heavy armor, carrying a medium or heavy load, or using a weapon other than a piercing weapon that qualifies for Weapon Finesse. A Fencer's Song lasts for a number of rounds equal to your ranks in Perform (Sing). When the Fencer's Songe ends, you become fatigued for the next 10 minutes.

First into Battle
Pleasure in battle is one of your great strengths, and none are faster into combat than you.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 15.
Benefit: If you are the first creature to make a successful melee attack in an encounter, you gain a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls and a +4 morale bonus to damage rolls for the remainder of the encounter.

Fractured
Your bones are crippled and weak, but your mind has compensated.
Prerequisites: Constitution of less than 13.
Benefit: Your constitution shrinks, and you lose 2 points permanently. You gain 1 point in intelligence, wisdom, and charisma.

Fraternal Soul
You can have learned how to engage with incarnum to boost similar spells to those you have memorized
Prerequisite: Con 13, must cast spells using a spellbook
Benefit: Once per day, you can invest essentia into this feat. Whenever you cast a spell that shares a subschool or descriptor with another spell you have memorized, you gain a +1 bonus on your caster level for every other spell you have memorized, up to a maximum equal to the number of points of essentia invested in this feat. Once the amount of essentia invested is chosen, it cannot be altered and remains invested for 24 hours. You gain 1 point of essentia.

Gibbering Telepathy [Psionic]
You have learned to communicate mentally, but the result is not always what you wish.
Prerequisites: Manifester level 6th.
Benefit: You gain telepathy with a 100 foot range. However, all speech is communicated only in thoughts that aberrations can understand, and any who are not aberrations have a 10% chance per contact of becoming confused for one round, as the strain of the gibbering and grating voices in their head causes them to lose focus. They may succeed at a will save of 10 + your Wisdom modifier to resist this effect. Creatures need only make a single save each round.

Greater Two Weapon Fighting
Prerequisites: Improved Two Weapon Fighting, BAB +11
Benefit: You get a third attack with your off-hand weapon. When wielding two weapons (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +3 shield bonus to your AC. When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +6. When making an attack of opportunity, you may make an attack with your off hand against the same target at the same time. You must decide before your first attack roll whether you want to also use your off hand. If you do, both attacks take the standard penalties for fighting with two weapons. When fighting with two weapons and using the full attack option, you can on your action decide to attack normally or to sacrifice a number of your off-hand attacks for that round in exchange for a +2 dodge bonus to your AC per attack sacrificed. If you take this option, you still suffer penalties on your attacks as if you were fighting with two weapons. If you are also using a buckler, its AC bonus stacks with the dodge bonus.

Greater Spell Focus (Descriptor)
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (Descriptor) in the chosen descriptor.
Benefit: Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells possessing the descriptor you select. This bonus stacks with the bonus from Spell Focus (Descriptor).
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new spell descriptor.

Hammer of Thunder
Prerequisites: BAB +3, Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Trip
Benefit: You have learned how to combine your weapons for a variety of effects
Anvil of Thunder: If you hit the same creature with both an axe and a hammer in the same round, it must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Str modifier) or be dazed for 1 round.
Hammer's Edge: If you hit the same creature with both a sword and a hammer in the same round, it must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Str modifier) or fall prone.
High Sword Low Axe: If you hit the same creature with both a sword and an axe in the same round, you may make a free trip attempt against that foe. (If you succeed, you may immediately use your Improved Trip feat to gain an additional attack against your foe.)

Handwright
Prerequisites: Craft 6
Benefit: When you take this feat, select a single category of magical items, such as Rings, or Arms and Armour. When crafting an item from this category, crafting takes only 75% of the normal time, and you pay only 75% of the cost of the item.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time select a new category of magical items.

Hunter's Strike
Many long years using a bow to find food has taught you how to prevent prey from running away.
Prerequisites: BAB +4
Benefit: As a standard action, you may make a single attack with a +2 bonus. If it succeeds, your foe suffers a -4 penalty to his Dexterity score, and his speed is reduced by 50%. The penalties last until your foe is the beneficiary of at least 1 point of healing, or a successful DC 15 Heal check.

Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Prerequisites: Two Weapon Fighting, BAB +6
Benefit: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it. When wielding two weapons (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +2 shield bonus to your Armor Class. When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +4. If you successfully hit an opponent with both of the weapons you wield, you deal extra damage equal to 1d6 + 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus. This extra damage is treated as the same type that your off-hand weapon deals normally for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and other effects related to damage type. When making a full attack action against an opponent with a shield, you may give up your first off-hand attack. If you do, you momentarily pin your opponent's shield with your off-hand weapon, and your foe gains no Armor Class benefit from her shield until the end of your action.

Innocence Amid Profanity [Psionic]
You have sheltered your mind from the vicious attacks of those who would harm it.
Prerequisites: Wis 15.
Benefit: By expending your psionic focus, you may delay the impact of any ability burn, damage, drain, or penalty to your Intelligence, Charisma, and Wisdom statistics by one minute. This does not delay any other effects from the same power or ability. This is an immediate action.

Ironguard Soldier
Prerequisites: BAB +3, membership in the Ironguard, dwarven war axe, exotic armour, and exotic shield proficiency
Benefit: Trained in the techniques of the Ironguard of the Tokunnir, you have become a masterful defensive combatant. When using a dwarven war axe while using an exotic shield and armour, you gain access to the options listed below.
Fear No Arrow: Whenever you are the target of a ranged attack, you may take an immediate action to deflect it, provided you are not flat-footed. This does not apply against boulders, siege weapons, spells, or other unusual ranged attacks.
Come to Me: You also gain one half your armour bonus as a bonus to attack rolls in any round you have not moved. In addition, when an enemy draws an attack of opportunity from you, you may make a shield bash in addition to the normal attack. This does not incur any penalties for two weapon fighting.
Resilience of Iron: You gain damage reduction of X/-, where X is equal to one half your armour bonus.

Joyous Chant
Prerequisites: Bardic Music
Benefit: You have found your purpose in life in the celebration and memories of music. Any Bardic Music or similar you create has any morale benefits increased by +1, and the effects of any morale boosting song linger for 1 round longer than normal.

Joyous Chant
You lead a mighty chorus to the heavens, heartening your friends against the coming frenzy.
Prerequisites: Charisma 13.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can begin a joyous chant. While chanting, all allies who can hear you gain a +1 bonus to saves against fear, which increases by +1 for every five other allies who chant with you. This bonus lasts as long as you keep chanting, although the bonus may decrease due to number of people chanting. In addition, whenever an ally joins the chant, you are buoyed up and gain a +1 morale bonus to attack and AC for one round (you cannot gain this benefit more than once from a given ally during any particular chant).

Keeping Score
You track the enemies you have killed in combat, your prowess increasing as each falls before you.
Prerequisites: BAB +2.
Benefit: You gain a cumulative +1 bonus to AC and +1 bonus to damage every time you slay a total number of Hit Dice of creatures equal to half your class level. Whenever you go more than one hour without slaying a creature, the benefit resets to zero.

Knife in the Back
Prerequisites: Sneak Attack 1d6
Benefit: Your sneak attack dice increases by 1d6. However, any dice granted by this feat do not count towards any prerequisites.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times.

Knock Aside
You stride forward, striking aside foes who stand between you and your goal.
Prerequisites: Strength 16.
Benefit: When you strike a foe for 10 or more damage, you make a free bullrush attempt that does not cause an Attack of Opportunity to move that foe one square to the left or to the right. You may make an additional 5' step into the square that the foe was knocked out of.

Last Surge
Wounded and bloody, your stature grows, and you stand tall, thrusting aside lesser men as if they were kindling.
Prerequisites: Constitution 13.
Benefit: If you have less than 25% of your total hit points remaining, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, a +2 bonus to damage, a +1 bonus to AC, and a +1 bonus to to all saves for every 5% under 25% (minimum of one boost).

Lessons of the Forebearers
Prerequisites: Knowledge (History, Arcana, or Religion) 11.
Benefit: By making a DC 25 Knowledge check as a swift action, you remember some fragment or flash of insight that the old ones had about the particular situation that you find yourself in. You gain a +2 bonus on the next action that you make. This ability can be used once every 5 rounds.

Lore of the Lost
Prerequisites: Knowledge (History, Arcana, or Religion) 9.
Benefit: When you choose this feat, pick a particular race to whom the lost incident applies. When interacting with members of that race, if you succeed at a DC 20 knowledge check, you gain a +2 bonus to all social interaction skills (Bluff, Persuade, Intimidate, Sense Motive). You may only gain this benefit once with each individual member of a race.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat after the first time, you may either choose a different race, or increase your bonus in regards to a specific race by +2.

Master And Slave [Psionic]
You have altered the call slightly, and now draw in more abnormal thralls.
Prerequisites: Thrallherd class ability.
Benefit: When you call a new thrall for your thrallherd or twofold master class abilities, you now call aberrations, rather than more normal creatures. Your old followers slowly die off and are replaced by aberrant creatures of the appropriate rating as well.

Mental Rigour [Psionic]
You have learned to take what affects you, and use it as a weapon against your twisted foes.
Prerequisites: Manifester level 5th.
Benefit: While you are under the effect of a power or spell that grants traits taken from an aberration, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage against aberrations, or +1 DC on your powers against aberrations. You may expend your psionic focus to gain a bonus on attack and damage or DCs equal to one half the level of the highest power that grants you aberration traits. This increased bonus lasts for one round.

Mental Twilight [Psionic]
You dream up the dark things in your mind, all that haunted and haunts you.
Prerequisites: Wis 13.
Benefit: When manifesting a power or making an attack, you may expend your psionic focus to add the fear descriptor to the strike. If the foe (or foes) is struck by your power or attack, it must make a will save against 15 + your Charisma modifier or become shaken for one round. Creatures not of your race gain a +2 bonus on this save.

Mighty Thewed
You use your massive strength to bludgeon your foes, hitting them so hard that their weapon falls from their grasp.
Prerequisites: Strength 18.
Benefit: Whenever you strike a foe for 15 or more damage, you may make a free disarm attempt against that foe. Your opponent may not attempt to disarm you if your disarm attempt fails.

Mind Of Unknowable Thought [Metapsionic]
Your body has begun its transformation. Your mind must follow.
Prerequisites: Knowledge (dungeoneering) 11, Writhing Mind, Writhing Body, cannot be of aberration racial type.
Benefit: Your mind begins to twist into the abnormal thought patterns of the aberration. By expending your psionic focus, you increase the DC by 1 of a power from the telepathy discipline, and treat the power as if it had one more power point invested in it. This can exceed your manifester level.
Special: You have a 50% chance of being affected by effects that target aberrations.

Music of the Joust
Prerequisites: Perform 6, Bardic music ability
Benefit: By expending one of your daily uses of bardic music, you or one ally you designate receives a damage bonus to their next charge attack equal to twice your Charisma modifier. This is a free action, and can be used once per round. If this has not been used by the end of the targeted creature's next turn, the bonuses dissipate.

Nature's Avenger
Prerequisites: Sneak Attack 3d6
Benefit: All sneak attack dice now deal elemental damage. You must choose from acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage upon taking the feat. This choice is permanent. This does not allow you to sneak attack a creature you normally would not be able to.

Nibble Away
Unlike some of your berserk friends, you have learned to weaken and then kill a foe with many small strikes.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, BAB +2.
Benefit: Whenever you successfully strike a creature but do 5 or less damage, you gain another attack at the same attack bonus with a -3 penalty.

Perfect Two Weapon Fighting
Prerequisites: Greater Two Weapon Fighting, BAB +16
Benefit: When making a full attack, you can make as many attacks with your off-hand weapon as with your primary weapon, using the same base attack bonus. You no longer take the normal penalties for fighting with two weapons. When wielding two weapons (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +4 shield bonus to your AC. When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +8. You gain the benefit of any one weapon style feat that requires two weapon fighting, regardless of its other requirements and the type of weapon(s) necessary.

Phalanx Fighting
Prerequisites: BAB +1, heavy, tower, or exotic shield proficiency
Benefit: You are trained at fighting in ranks and files.
Shield Wall: If you are using a heavy shield and a one-handed weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to your Armor Class. If you are within 5 feet of an ally who is also using a heavy shield and one-handed weapon and who also has this feat, you may form a shield wall. A shield wall provides an extra +4 bonus to AC and a +1 bonus on Reflex saves to all eligible characters participating in the shield wall. In addition, any creature threatened by two or more allies in a shield wall is treated as flanked.
Formation Expert: To use this maneuver, you must be within a single move of an ally who is rendered helpless or dying, and every square between you and the fallen comrade must be empty or occupied by an ally. You can immediately take a single move action (as if you had readied an action to do so) to move into the square the fallen ally occupies.
Pile On: If your ally attacks and hits an enemy you and he are flanking, you can make an immediate attack of opportunity against that target. You gain the attack of opportunity only on the first successful attack.

Pierce the Hide
You have fought for long years against animals and men who wear hides, and have learned how to easily penetrate their defenses.
Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: You gain a +2 attack bonus against foes in light armour, and a +1 attack bonus against foes in medium armour. For creatures wearing no armor, treat their natural armour as the appropriate armour type for this ability, with natural armor bonuses of +1 to +3 equivalent to light armor, +4 to +5 as medium, and +6 or more as heavy.
Special: Must be wielding a piercing weapon.

Quick Afoot
You dance around a foe, frustrating his attacks and reply with jabs and thrusts of your own.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 15.
Benefit: Each time a foe swings at you and misses, you may make a 5' step around the foe (You must remain within his reach) that does not generate an Attack of Opportunity. For each step made, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on attacks this round.

Quick Draw
Prerequisites: BAB +1
Benefit: You can draw a weapon as a free action instead of as a move action. You can draw a hidden weapon (see the Sleight of Hand skill, page 81) as a move action. A character who has selected this feat may throw weapons at his full normal rate of attacks (much like a character with a bow). If you draw a light weapon and make a melee attack with it in the same round, you catch your opponent flat-footed (for the purpose of this attack only). You may use this feat only once per round and once per opponent during any single combat encounter. If an opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from you, you can draw a weapon as an immediate action to deliver the attack of opportunity.

Benefit: When using the attack action with a melee weapon, you can move both before and after the attack, provided that your total distance moved is not greater than your speed. Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender you attack, though it might provoke attacks of opportunity from other creatures, if appropriate. You must move at least 5 feet both before and after you make your attack in order to utilize the benefits of Spring Attack. At BAB +6, you may designate two foes rather than one. Your movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity from either of these foes. You can make a second attack as part of your attack action. You can use both attacks against one of the opponents targeted with this feat, or split your attacks between them. At BAB +11, you may designate a third target to be affected by this feat.

Any time you make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon on your turn, the weapon immediately returns to you, and you can catch it as a free action. This ability allows you to make a full attack entirely with thrown weapon attacks, or with a mix of thrown and melee attacks.
Storm of Throws: As a full-round action, you may throw a throwing weapon at your full base attack bonus at each opponent within 30 feet. All weapons thrown need not be the same type; for instance, a human could throw a mix of daggers, darts, and throwing axes.

You do not need to make a touch attack to initiate the trip, and your opponents do not receive attacks of opportunity to prevent the trip attempt, nor can they attempt to trip you back if your attempt fails. However, you provoke attacks of opportunity due to your movement as normal, and any creature making such an attack gains a +4 bonus to the attack rolls and +2 to the damage rolls against you. If your target square is adjacent to an enemy, you may attack normally at the end of a charge.

If you have Perfect Two Weapon Fighting, you may treat your off-hand weapon as if its enhancement bonus and weapon special abilities are an exact copy of your primary weapon (unless such abilities are inapplicable).

Your time your blows, holding them back until they would cause the most damage.
Prerequisites: BAB +5.

You've got 2 different feats with the same name ("Joyous Chant")

Shattered Skeleton seems a bit more like a trait than a feat

Bohandas

Time's Quickness also seems more like a trait

Stratovarius

Ugh. Sorry for not responding, notifications for this thread didn't work for some reason.

The Joyous Chant thing was a mistake, I ended up making a second one as a requirement for a PrC when I couldn't find the first. I need to rename one of them.

Time's Quickness and Shattered Skeleton are too strong for the normal traits in UA, which are pretty mild. They're more in line with the 1st level only feats that Warforged, Shifter, etc. have. And they each were originally written with a particular magical theme in mind that would probably take those feats, so I think they're okay as feats.
