Combat Options
  • Bull Charge Whenever a character with this feat hits with a charging attack, he may immediately attempt a bull rush (as part of the charge action) on the same opponent as a free action.
  • charging armor Add +2d6 damage on a successful charge attack.
  • Combat Reflexes You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
  • Combat Rites (Ex) Each is a free action to use, although you can never activate more than one combat rite in a round. You cannot activate a combat rite if you are flat-footed.
  • Power Attack On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
    • If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your attack rolls. You can't add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Normally, you treat a double weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose to use a double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with only one end of it in a round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.)
  • +1 racial attack bonus with throwing axes
  • Show Off (Ex) As a standard action, the character can display his mastery with an exotic weapon and confound his opponent. The character may make an Intimidate check against a single opponent within 30 feet that can see him, adding his base attack bonus to the result. If the result exceeds the opponent's modified level check (opponent's d20 + HD or level + Wis modifier), the opponent becomes shaken (-2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws) for 1 round per class level of the exotic weapon master.
  • Uncanny Blow When wielding a one-handed exotic melee weapon in two hands, the character can focus the power of his attack so that he deals extra damage equal to his Strength bonus x2 instead of his Strength bonus x1-1/2. If he has the Power Attack feat, he treats the weapon as two-handed for purposes of determining his bonus on damage rolls.

critical hit If you make an attack roll within the threat range of your weapon this round, you can automatically make it a critical hit (as if you confirmed the critical).

great charge You gain a +4 damage bonus to the single attack you make at the end of a charge action. Use this rite at the start of your turn.

ignore condition You make a Concentration check to ignore one unwanted, noncurse condition (such as blindness, fatigue, paralysis, or even vitrification). If your Concentration check beats the effect's original save DC, you ignore the condition for 1 round. If the effect has no save DC attached to it, the DC is 25. You can make only one attempt per condition, and you cannot take 10 or 20 on the check. Use this rite at any time during the round.

missile deflection When you normally would be hit with a ranged weapon, you deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack to use this combat rite, and you must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) as well.

Unusually massive ranged weapons, such as boulders hurled by giants, and ranged attacks generated by spell effects can't be deflected. Use this rite at any time.

power focus, greater You gain a +2 combat rite bonus to your damage rolls this round. Use this rite at the beginning of your turn.

precision You ignore the penalty for firing into a melee this round. If you already have the Precise Shot feat, you gain a +2 attack and damage bonus with ranged attacks this round. Use this rite at the beginning of your turn.

quick retrieval You can produce anything from your pack or anything you have stowed (unless the DM rules it is too inaccessible), including a weapon, as a free action. Use this rite at any time during your turn.

 Character History Aker Cruven is a young Litorian on a mission. Growing up, his clan stayed far from civilization, often finding refuge in the mountains. During this time, Aker spent much of his youth learning to be a great weapon maker, as well as studying his Race's history. During his teenage years, as the clan wandered through new territory, they came upon a Half-Giant, Iapetus Hasur. Iapetus was the smallest giant of the smallest family of the smallest clan. Only a few years older than Aker, he stood only a little bit taller, at 6'7". Litorians often respect Giants because of their stature but rarely encounter them enough to understand them. Aker took advantage of this unusual meeting and befriended Iapetus. Through this friendship, Aker learned the Giant language and the ancient tradition of being a Ritual Warrior.

However, not long after coming to Iapetus' land, Aker's clan was ready to move on. Iapetus, seen as an outsider for his comparitavely short height, left with them. After a few months, the clan began to accept Iapetus almost as one of their own, finding many similarities between their two races. Eventually, Iapetus and Aker were given the role of scouting out new lands. Once, however, while out canvassing an area, the two were ambushed. Aker was wounded quite severely. Iapetus, taking on the normal Giant role, fought the attackers fiercely, allowing for Aker to retreat for help. However, when Aker brought reinforcements, Iapetus and the assailants were gone.
Aker soon became an outcast. His clan was of the more extreme of Litorians, seeing him as a coward for running away from the fight. His parents felt he had brought shame to their name, to the clan, and to the Litorian race itself. Determined to restore his standing with his family and clan, Aker set out to find Iapetus, or his murderers, and repay his lifedebt, whatever that may mean.
